This is based on something I have (because it's easy to write what I know), but I'm going to sound like an eejit and not know what it's called.
I have a neurological disease that progressed to a point before Dx and treatment. Once things worked, we didn't delve into terms for things. The disease is Subacute Combined Degeneration of the Spinal Cord. I'm on B12 for life, totally fine and all that. No worries about the remaining symptoms, other than how they are annoying and things, obviously
The symptom that I know nothing medically about is a shaky head. Nobody can see it, but I can feel it, and it's irritating. Often, I literally hold my head still so that I don't feel it and that does work for the most part. It's like my head tries to move on its own, very slightly but it feels fairly forceful. It's not a sensation I can make happen consciously or mimic. It's worse when I'm tired.
I have something called an 'intention tremor' on the touch-your-nose test. This may be called that, too? I just don't know the terms. IRL that works fine, but I don't want to sound like an eejit as an author My character would know what it's called.
Thanks!
