Mrs. Burschman Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I have felt that way in the past, though it's gotten better. Sometimes I have tremors in my hands, though not at this time. One doctor was convinced that I must have hyperthyroid. But I didn't, and I chalked it up to anxiety. But now that I know I have dysautonomia, that wasn't the whole story!As always, you might want to check with your doctor ... you know the drill!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw4790 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Yeah, I have had quite a bit of that. For me much of it is my Essential Tremor. Other times it is because I need to eat, am tired, or muscles have fatigued. I hate typing assignments because I always hit the wrong keys or press the same one twice quickly! So, it can be frustrating! I guess just make sure to try and eat well, be well rested, and take any meds on time. Other than that make sure to watch a lot of carbs that cause reactive hypoglycemia which can cause shakiness. Also, watch caffiene. It could be fatiguing of muscles... make sure that your electrolytes etc are good.If concerned make sure to mention it to dr. so that they can check anything that could be wrong, but it could just be part of the whole big package of fun!

lloppyllama Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yep I used to get that all the time before I was diagnosed. Now I will still get it frequently, but with the meds im on it helps control it so its not so noticeable and hindering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tearose Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well, I have had these symptoms but with a slight variation from what you are experiencing. It was at a time of total weakness. I had shakiness when trying to be still or right away upon standing, I also could not turn regular doorknobs and my balance was off. I remember walking into walls and more than average bruises.I had been sick with a bad virus and then these symptoms came on. They did resolve over several months.I hope your symptoms will resolve too.best regards,tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, that happens to me too. The shakiness/weakness comes and goes. It is worse if I exert myself too much, don't get the proper fluids or food, or sometimes just because.Hope the weakness and shakiness doesn't last too long for you.Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
