Symptom narrative

Since early 2023, I have tremors which seem to commence any time day or night if I remain still long enough. When first noticed, I thought I was getting cold and shivering while sleeping at night. To assess the tremors, a neurologist Dr ordered an MRI of the skull and discovered a brain tumor. After another MRI with contrast injection, weeks later I had brain surgery on 10-9-23 to remove a cranial meningioma. My neurosurgeon, Dr told me ahead of time that he did not think the surgery would fix the tremors. He was correct. In 2023, tremors were not as noticeable if I stayed active during the day, but tremors would take about 5 minutes to begin when I lay down to sleep. Now 3 years later, tremors are worse. Since 2023, tremors occur all night long and worsen with time until I am finally awakened by them; oftentimes accompanied by a headache too painful to sleep through. Various keyword searches on Google show that I am not alone regarding the Covid vaccine injury.
