question on tremors

[Guest guest]

I am sure there are tons of reasons for shaking and tremors. With Grace, though, we tend to see the most shaking when her blood sugar drops too low. Also she does shake a lot when she gets a fever. I have noticed alot of jerking in her sleep, but I do not know what it is and usually associate it with dreaming. I am sure you will get some better answers on this topic from others.

I've been reading all the messages and talk about tremors and I

have a question.

My daughter has just recently been diagnosed but about two years ago

she had tremors in her arms. She called me at work to let me know

her hands were shaking, I told her to eat something that sometimes

when your hungry your hands will shake. She called back a little

later and said it was getting worse. I left work and came home. I

have never seen anything like what was happening to her. You could

watch the tremor run up her whole arm, both arms. Inside I was

scared to death, I calmly sent her out of the room to call the

doctor. I rushed her to his office and they could see what was

going on. They sent her to have an MRI and then to Nashville to a

neurologist that specializes in MS. We have a family history of

MS. In fact this happened just a couple months after my sister

passed away from MS. 's MRI was normal and the doctor in

Nashville said it wasn't MS. They never have said why this

happened. Is this a part of mito disorders? I have noticed that

she does some jerking while she is asleep but not alot.

I'm sorry I am new to all this and feel like I should know more.

Any help would be great.

-Both of my children have tremor. It seems to come and go. My son's tremor

is the worst in his hands but it can be anywhere. My daughter's tremor seems

to start at one place and then go through her body. It will be bad for a while

and then go away for months and months. Don't know why it happens but it

happens with mito sometimes.

My oldest son acquired a tremor in both hands, right being worse, sometimes affecting his arms also at the beginning of puberty. The Dr thinks he got it then due to the amount of energy needed for puberty.

I have seen several forms of tremor with my kids. The

hypoglycemia form, the type my son Marqyuis displayed due to the pre-

natal drug exposure his bio. mom had, the tremors Zipporrah

occasionally has (I know it's not hypoglycemia because I have checked

during the bouts), and the skaking last night that seems way too

intense to be just tremors. I have had tremors from muscle weakness

myself as well. I get them when I am in the heat too much or am

having a crisis. Too many things can cause them and it can be hard

to figure out what is going on sometimes, especially when they happen

to little ones who can't communicate.
