Tremors and Shaky most of the day

[Sillyme03]

Got the MRI Results. Found 2 "tiny" lesions in brain, Neuro says its not MS, but I am going to get a second opinion just in case. I want to get rid of the shakey tired feeling, sometimes it feels almost like an adrenaline rush going thru my veins. Hard to explain, like a wave along with the shakes. I also am very tired still and appetite still not much.

I am going to get some second opinions and such. I am wondering if it could be anxiety and I don't know it. Last year rheumy said I did not have fibro. Last visit she said I had fibro and could be a flare up.

Have any of your doctors mentioned Essential Tremor?

I have a slight case of it that causes some internal tremor feelings, and my hand gets a slight tremor sometimes too... it's annoying, but I have gotten used to it and hopefully it won't progress any further.

Also- I have Reactive Hypoglycemia. It does not appear on a normal fasting glucose test. It is a low blood sugar that happens (30 minutes to 3 hours) after eating anything with carbohydrates in it.

Carbos have natural sugars in them, and when I eat them, my pancreas releases more insulin than necessary to break them down (and when there is excess insulin in the body, that causes an adrenal response- causing a rush or adrenalin) ... Having too much insulin also produces a "sugar crash" where I can all sorts of symptoms including shakiness, tremors, flushing, rapid heart rate, and sweating.

The same thing happens if I haven't eaten in a while.

The simple solution is to eat on a regular basis, and I also eat at least 1 piece of candy 10 minutes after a meal (more candy if I eat more carbos). Caramels are my favorite because they have a lot of sugar in them, and I can eat them quickly.

People with Fibromyalgia are very likely to have Reactive Hypoglycemia too (it is one of the co-existing conditions).

My doctor did not catch this- I figured it out while reading a fibro book. I then brought it to my doctors attention, and she agreed that I do have it.

I really hope that your docs figure this out so that you can feel better soon

Both of our daughters have trouble with the insulin in their systems. One is diabetic and the other Insulin Resistant. The treatment for both is a low carb 3 meals two snacks a day diet and a prescription medication, Avandamet. This is something that definately should be checked out. It does cause the body to do all kinds of strange things (shakes, dizziness, etc.) It has been said in articles that 75% of those diagnosed with FMS have trouble with insulin balance (either high or low). For one daughter this has helped tremedously for her hyperstate (talking a mile a minute, not being able to sit still). It has not done anything for the tremors in either daughter.

Thanks so much. I am going to peruse this further. Last week I had blood taken twice 2 hours after I ate, will see what the results are. I just can't stand this now knowing and feeling lousy all the time. Came out of the blue.

Thanks again

I took 2 glucose tests 2 different days, 2 hours after I ate.

One was 100, next one was 102.

I was told these are normal results.

Still feeling horrible
