Tremors

Symptoms & Treatments
1

I am experiencing a new and different symptom, and I wonder if anyone here has experienced the same. There seem to be so many things related to this illness.

I can either be sitting in a chair wide awake or laying in bed sleeping, but I will suddenly experience one long tremor that rumbles every muscle in my body. It has forced me to sit up when sleeping and stand up when I'm sitting. I describe it as an "asthmatic panic attack" because it seems like you knocked the wind out of me, forcing me to panic because I have no air, so I jump up trying to escape. Sound familiar to anyone? I would love to know what it is, if you have.

Sad we have to ask each other, but I never seem to get answers from the doctors. If it's just part of fibro, then I won't think bad things. My husband thinks I'm just falling asleep and catching myself, but sometimes I know I am wide awake when it happens.

Thanks, Tammy

I have the same tremors and yes it is embarrassing . Some nights I will have them in the middle of the night and I feel like I am going to fall right of bed.I can't get my doctor to give me muscle relaxers so I get no relief from it. All we can do is hang in there until new studies are found..

I also get tremors at times but not as extreme as what you are describing.

If I am overly tired or my anxiety is high I will have these. My hands will start to to jerk and if I try to control it I will do whats called pill rolling with my hands Its painful to me and very disturbing, my doc gave me valium 10 mg and that seems to help, but I perfer to just avoid being overly tired or overly stressed. I hate meds. If my pain is really bad I can experience them too. It appears to me to be more like restless body syndrome than tremors because it reminds me of shaking legs, like when you have a baby on your knee. I had them so bad one night I almost went to the ER. So many bizarre symptoms.

I agree with your description. I also have restless legs syndrome, and I do feel like it's the same thing on a larger scale.
