this symptom seems a really big deal to me. my body seems to be shaking with chills. though often milder than with actual chills, it causes my muscles to contract and causes pain that is then magnified. at times my once beautiful handwriting becomes nearly illegable. I have just recently decided to leave my full time job as a result of all my symptoms (including excrutiating IBS). i have never taken anything other than fluoxetine and some mild tranquilizer. do i really need to be adding meds? my doctor is so relunctant, but i think i could benefit from a muscle relaxer.
Hello valleyhopper,
The thing with meds, it seems many believe are on loads and still suffering. Meanwhile there is another camp who take no meds, or very few, and manage with lifestyle changes, and maybe vitamins or supplements. For me, I do a bit of both, meds for depression and that's it. If I try a med ( and I am always willing to try ), if side effects are not worth it, I have stopped. Everyone is different, so I can only say, maybe give the meds a go and see what happens.
I would add, as you have decided to give up work, things may change for you, for the better. Less stress and more time to allow yourself to do things which make you feel better. Hope this helps a little! Wishing you well.
Take care, Anne
Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly. I am concerned and what tests has your doctor done especially in regards to the shakiness and trembling? I also wonder if you have seen a neurologist . all the best. HUGGGGGGS
