fine tremors

[Guest guest]

I have been having fine tremors for probably over a month now. I am getting

concerned but don't know what to do about them or what the cause is.

When they started, I was unknowingly taking too much thyroid hormone. I also had

nervousness and more sweating. I stopped all thyroid hormone about 3-4 weeks

ago. The nervousness/sweating has long been gone, but these tremors are still

here.

I will try to describe them the best I can, because I know there are different

types. I see them when I extend my arms/hands. It isn't isolated to my hands

though- I feel it in my entire body. In my legs they almost feel like muscle

spasms. It feels like my nerves are " on " all the time, like the " off switch " is

broken. When I wear something dangling from my waist, like a loose belt, I can

see the tremors in the belt. So it is definitely in my entire body.

I feel it when I awaken in the middle of the night too. I feel it more intensely

then, but I think this is because I am more relaxed and sensitive, not because

they are actually worse then.

I have no nervousness, insomnia, etc.

It might be worse after I drink my green tea (caffeine) in the morning, but I am

not sure.

Andy says to try glycine on p. 128 of AI, but I have no idea what kind of

tremors I am even having. I am also gluten free, which is mentioned. I don't

have " course, jerky movements " with the tremors that Andy mentions on p.28 of

AI. These are very fine tremors that I probably only notice myself, unless I

point it out to someone.

I am taking 800 IU vit. E, lots of B's (including active B6), about 3-4 g vit C,

600 mg magnesium/calcium each. I am not taking a lot of fish oil or flax,

because I have been back and forth on whether or not these are good due to

oxidative stress. I do take cod liver oil though, providing roughly 15,000 IU

vit A and 1500 IU vit D.

My doctor thought maybe there were issues with my dopamine (she didn't suggest

high or low and I didn't ask), but this was a few weeks ago, before I quit the

Armour. I wasn't quite as concerned then, because I had other symptoms of

thyrotoxicosis.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
