Fingers keep tapping the keys when I'm finished typing

Just diagnosed with MS last month. I've noticed a few days ago, that when I type on my phone or keyboard, that my fingers keep tapping the keys one or two times automatically after I'm done. I have not control over this.

What could be going on? Thanks

Hi again. At least they don't keep doubling and tripling right in the middle of words. I've had this happen and it's the pits. For me, I think it's a combination of my 'natural' tendency to tremor and some other immediate factor. That's usually a med I've been taking, often one that supposedly doesn't cause tremors (hah), but when I stopped taking whatever it was the tremors, which could be as bad as actual flapping, would dissipate within a couple of days.

Extreme nervousness can cause this too. Luckily that's a rare event for me. I don't know whether tremors are behind what you describe, but I'm betting they are, even if you don't see this problem at other times

Thanks ess...once again you've given me something to think about and some explanation. All of this is so new to me. I am keeping a log of symptoms everyday to give to my Dr.
