Tremor

Tremor is involuntary, uncontrolled movements of parts of your body. You might experience tremor as twitching or jerking, or as shaky, trembling movements. In multiple sclerosis (MS), the most common type of tremor is intention tremor or cerebellar tremor.

Epstein Barr virus (EBV)

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common virus that causes glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis). It has been proposed as a possible trigger for multiple sclerosis (MS), but just having had EBV infection or glandular fever doesn’t mean you will get MS.

Demyelinating conditions

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is not the only condition caused by autoimmune demyelination and damage to nerves. MS mimics, such as transverse myelitis (TM), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO or NMOSD) have similar symptoms, which can make diagnosis and treatment tricky.
