I thank you for replying everyone. It’s very hard right now. My limbs are shaking from any use however little. Bending to pick something I shake, lifting my arm for more than a few seconds I shake. Turning around in bed I shake. I did like 5 pushups and my arms were trembling after. I feel like I tremble all over very easily just from using my body normally. This is scaring me as I feel like I’m progressively losing my muscle strength and I’m scared that it’s the beginning of something serious.
I tried searching for muscle shaking linked to anxiety and it still gives me results about MS... It’s not a tremor though more like when you exercise and shake after.
Seymour, give it up!
You're not going to find an answer by searching endlessly online, you'll just lose huge chunks of your life and there's no need.
If I’m being honest, both. I have very similar symptoms as Seymour, and I find it unlikely we would both have ALS.
I just went out and jogged for about 8-9 minutes. My legs got very tired :(
I have a post-workout burn / fatigue feeling in literally every limb.
REALLY?
Muscles, muscle tension, stiffness, muscle twitching, tight scalp or neck
What you feel:
You feel like your muscles are always tight or strained, sometimes to the point of frequent pain, or even persistent and ongoing pain. Some may also find the pain so restricting and debilitating that it prevents physical activity, and sometimes to the point of becoming bed ridden. It’s also common to experience pain or cramps in any of the body’s muscles.
A particular joint in your body feels unusually stiff and sore, or hard to move. It may even feel arthritic. Sometimes you feel you may be ‘seizing up’.
For no apparent reason, a particular muscle will begin to twitch. This twitching will continue for an unusual amount of time before it stops of its own accord. Sometimes it twitches so long it becomes sore, and may continue on and off for days.
You may feel that your scalp is sore, has shooting pains, or that the back of your neck and head are very tense. Even though there is no apparent reason for this, they continue to.
What causes this:
Stress biology causes muscles to contract (tighten) so that the body is more resilient to an attack. The higher the stress biology, the more tense the muscles will be. Some people experience mild tenseness while others may experience great pain, sometimes to the point of immobility. Others experience uncontrollable muscle twitching. It can be one particular muscle over and over again, or it can be a wide variety of muscles. Sometimes the twitching can last for days.
Regular exercise helps to keep tight muscles relaxed. Some find relief through massage therapy or warm baths. As with all symptoms, when the nervous system gets sufficient rest, this symptom will diminish and eventually subside.
Positive thoughts
If you have Netflix, go watch the episode of The Mind Explained about Anxiety. You absolutely have anxiety symptoms.
And here is a cold truth for you, say for an instant you actually had ALS (you dont, but for debate sake pretend you did), what would you do? It is basically untreatable, and invariably fatal save for rare instances. Why waste what life you have left here posting away. Go live a little.
You know full well you don't have ALS. And if you are convinced you have MS, we can't help you. Go see a neurologist and get the help you need.
Congratulations!! That's actually really exciting you are feeling post-workout burn/fatigue in literally every limb. That means your body is doing exactly what it is supposed to do!! I feel this every single morning after I run. It indicates to me that my muscles are working, growing and getting stronger. This is such exciting news that you should be jumping up and down that your body is working!
And Seymor, you are 110% correct! You are losing muscle strength because you aren't doing anything.. Your body is doing exactly what it is supposed to do when you move after being sedentary. It shakes. It hurts. I have spent most of my HA causing my own symptoms because of poking, prodding, tensing, checking, testing, etc.
Best Wishes.
