Re: Fibromyalgia and tremors

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I've had tremors since I got sick. First started with 'spasms' in my

lips and cheek area of my face. Now I have tremors down to my hands

and feet and have been diagnosed with Restless Leg Syndrome and

Periodic Limb Movement (RLS & PLM). The tremors in my extremities

came after being on Effexor for a few months (a year prior to being

diagnosed with RLS and PLM). Since stopping Effexor (more than 3

years ago) I still get tremors. I thought they were associated with

low blood sugar (as I have insilin issues) but find that its another

warning sign that I'm doing too much in a day.. even if I wake up with

them I know that I need to rest.

Another suggestions would be to get your vitamin levels checked.

Magnesium and Pottasium effect muscle spasms. My nutritionist stated

to take calcium and magnesium (glycinated is better on the stomach) 1

hour prior to sleeping as that combo is " nature's valium " . Hope some

of this helps you!

Hello-

I had random jerky movements all over my body. My hands still shake. Even

though there isn't much about it in any literature on fibro, I have known

many people with fibro to have spasms, muscle jerks and tremors. The muscle

jerks stopped when I was prescribed neurontin. I was diagnosed with Periodic

Limb Movement Disorder. That doesn't make much sense to me as the muscle jerks

are during the day as well as at night.

I still have muscle spasms in my back when I stand or walk. The muscle

jerks were so bad that I couldn't sleep at night.

It seems to me that doctors don't know much about this symptom and fibro.

Good luck with finding treatment for your tremors

My neurologist also recommended I take B-12 daily. It has helped my RLS

especially. Since my grandfather and father had bad tremors, I inherited some. I

also take propanolol for them and it helps a lot. It is a generic for Inderol.

Effexor gave me blinding migraines.

Marie,

I take spring Valley B-12, 1000mg-2 of them at bedtime. I take Mirapex for my

RLS but the B-12 seems to help the Mirapex be more effective.

And I take 80 MG of Inderol for my hand tremors that seems to help a lot.

Hi Diane,

just thought I would let you know that I identify with what you say.
