Question involuntary shakes?

[Guest guest]

Hello group,

Reading the recent posts on muscle cramps,and toe spasms, am wondering

if some of the group may experience involuntary shaking, a fine

shivering tremor making it difficult to carry plates, eat,etc. My

friend with active RA and many off joint symptoms has episodes when

these are particularly troublesome, as now.

Any ideas?

My hunch is it is connected with the fibromyalgia features of her

illness. She also has just those cramps described,also sometime of the

jaw.

Thanks,

friend of UK sufferer, with no computer.

Hi I was diagnosed with benign essential tremor syndrome about

two years ago. I sometimes cannot get a forkful of corn or other non-

sticky food up to my mouth and have anything on it. It really

intensifies when I am under stress. I also have the toe and jaw cramps.

Hi Chris!

That same shaking happens to me as well! When picking up a cup or a water

bottle, you can see my arms shake and tremor as well as the cup.  This past

weekend my legs were doing it when I stood and when walking felt like Jello.  My

rheumatologists, family doctor and neurologist and physical therapist all

attributed it to the FMS as well.

 

I hope you are doing well! Sorry my reply is so short! I was just catching up on

weekend emails..and looked at the clock and have a CBT appointment to get too!

So far it is rather effective! I was able to go to a crowded festival for the

first time in years (I went Friday and Saturday) and while somewhat

uncomfortable, no panic attack!! YAYA!!!!

 

Gentle Hugs

Hi and Group

I just want to ask what is FMS. I have a lot of things abrivated. I

dont know what FMS is. This is my last post to read. (darn) I guess I

will get more before bed time.

Group, I read my post from the bottom up.. I just keep hitting

previous on the pc. If I start on the first one it's referring to the

next one. This has worked good for me. Now I know what each person is

talking about . No I dont read them backwards. lol. I click on the

bottom post than go to the previous one haaaaa.

Gently hugs

and Group;

Great FMS is fibro. I always called it fibro. Didnt know they had an

abbreviation for fibro lol. I guess anymore everything is

abbreviated. Yes unfortunately I have FMS also I like calling it

fibro. I think I had it since my late 20s. I have always been in

pain. Doctors said it was all in my mind, or they would take test

and say. Test are fine. I would be horified they found nothing.

Cause omg it hurt so bad. A diff plase each time.

I got pain meds all the time. I really like the ones I got after my

hysterectomy. I couldnt get them anymore the doctor said they were

for only after surgery, darn. The fibro I noticed affects everyone

differently. Mine got really bad after my daddy passed away in 1999.

I read where one could get in more pain from a sudden loss of a

loved one,

I finally was diagnossed with fibro about 5 years ago. At least I

knew what the pain was from and it was real, not imagined by my evil

brain haaaaaaaaaaaaa. Wow you get way behind dont you 200 posts to

read. I thought 47 was a lot for me haaaaaa. I spent my entire adult

life in pain. Oh not like the RA. I got pain pills anyway I could.

My family help me too. THey knew I was in pain. Even if it was

imaginary lol.
