Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is difficult to ascertain the exact nature of your disease without examining you. If possible, you can upload a small video of your involuntary movements. However, the good point is that your MRI and lumbar puncture have come out as normal, which rules out any serious underlying neurological disease.
It is possible that you have mild tremor predominant Parkinson's disease. a careful examination would be helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
