[quote=Anonymous]Our 2 year old has been diagnosed with "Tremors".  They only happen when he wakes up from sleep (in the morning or naps) and are more pronounced when we wake him up vs. him waking up on his own.  The tremors last for 20-30 mins and he is able to function during the episodes (sit, eat), but prefers to be held.  When they first started occurring a few months ago, we just thought he was cold or maybe had low blood sugar, since they go away after he is good an awake.  They have down extensive blood work and it is not diet related.  Has anyone else had experience with "Tremors"?  Is it something he will outgrow or potentially more serious like pre epilepsy?

The next step is a 24hr EEG at Georgetown Hospital.  Does anyone have tips on how to handle the EEG with a toddler?  He is too young to watch movies to occupy his time.  He has been through many doctor appointments recently, so extremely anxious in the dr offices.  Any advice, tips or any suggestions.

Thanks
