Thread: Can anyone relate? Shaking.

    Re: Can anyone relate? Shaking.

    Update to where I am at now.

    Not really feeling the shaking when waking up anymore and just lying there. Now my whole body shakes when I do the whole stretching/yawning thing. Still can't flex my muscles without them shaking, and now I have developed like a muscle spasm/twitch in my left buttocks which is a little weird. Everything else though I guess is ok. Taking my meds as needed which is more than I thought it would be.

    Sorry to hear that.

    I do wake up from my sleep sometimes just absolutely shaking almost shivering. It does go away eventually.

    Tonight my head seems to be shaking a bit. Pretty much because I'm so nervous from the twitching and numb and tingling sensation in my face tonight! That makes me get jittery everywhere. Not doing great tonight at all honestly. I've had fears of diseases too - I do get horrible anxiety. I feel like shaking causes anxiety and anxiety causes shaking. I noticed that I had a lot of caffeine today and I got jittery - when I got home, I had my daughter back for the first night and she's very young so she threw a tantrum at bedtime. I hadn't eaten in a while or hydrated much today and when I went to go eat she just kept crying. I finally got her to sleep but I noticed that I was shaking now - more jittery - more twitching. The less I think about how I feel anxiety wise the less my face feels numb tingly twitchy or shaky! Right now I'm just about crawling out of my skin and keep shaking. I think that shaking is the worst symptom next to heart palpitations which knock on wood I haven't had lately!
    Hope things get better with the shaking.

    Well I got my test results back from the neurologist and everything came back fine. She said I have a physiological tremor, and that it is stress/anxiety related. I hope I don't have to live with this the rest of my life. It gets more frustrating as the days go on. My therapist wants to put me on an SSRI, but not sure how I feel about that yet. The battle continues.

Still get the odd eye twitch, and still sometimes feel like my body is vibrating when I lie down at night, but I've just put it all down to the anxiety.

    Take your doctors word for it, and do more of the things that make you happy to take your mind off it since that seemed to work for you

    Hope you feel better soon!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one with the trembling on the inside in bed ,

    Well here is an update. It's been over 3 months now with the same symptoms. The only thing that has subsided is the feeling like I was trembling inside when I would wake up. That at least isn't there any more. My new symptom is extreme neck pain down one side. Had an xray didn't find anything.

    Symptoms now:

    Tremors when my arms are flexed or engaged
    Tremors in my head if I turn my head over my left or right shoulder
    Neck pain, stiffness, tension


    I've been to 3 neurologists, and 2 other doctors, and none of them seem to take me seriously. They won't do an MRI or brain scan even though I have asked for them. They all say it's anxiety.

    My primary prescribed me Celexa and I am afraid to take it. I may not take it at all, but I have it. I don't understand how that is going to solve my issues, maybe I will just have to live like this.

    I experience this every single day. It feels as though my arms and legs are jittery, but they don't look as though they are. It's horrible and makes me want to cry!

    Kind of feels like muscle fatigue after a big workout (but I haven't worked out in almost a year!).

    I, too, have been panicing that it's something like MS. I had a blood test done on Monday, testing for a lot of things, and everything came back normal. Reassured but I'd like some explanation.

    People keep telling me that it's anxiety-related as well, as a result of fluctuating levels of adrenaline. It happens when I'm not anxious as well though, but this could still be true.

    Might be worth getting a blood test for B12 deficiency? If you're deficient, it's easily sorted

    Or it really could just be anxiety. We should probably trust the health professionals a bit more! x

    I had the blood tests done. Everything came back fine. Did all of the neurological tests and all came back fine. At this point I am just very frustrated.

    Re: Can anyone relate? Shaking.

    Well I have a few updates. I went to a neurologist in Cincinnati who diagnosed me with Functional Movement Disorder, and now I am seeing a specialist in Boston. Tremors are still there 24 hours a day with the random muscle twitches every once in a while. They say it is from traumatic events happening to me when i was a child, that I guess my body things now would be a good time to start processing them. Some days are better than others, and there are certainly days I feel like completely giving up, but I am medication free, so at least I don't have to deal with side effects.

    I had a brain MRI which came back perfect.

    I have now been to 9 neurologists, and for some reason I still have this 1% of me that still believes it could be something else, but for now I just stay the course.
