Does anyone have insight/ideas into why we (some of us with CMT) get

tremors? Is it a muscle thing a nerve thing, both, other? Anyone

remember any past newsletter articles I could look up about this?

That is extremely interesting. Most people have trouble getting enough fatty

acids. I am definitely going to pass that along! Thank you and I am glad that

worked for you. I can't imagine how fustrating that must be. I know it gets

interesting when people assume things. I look much younger than my 31 years.

When I tell people I have three children I am compelled to quickly follow that

with I am older than I look. People look at me like I must have started having

children in high school!

Thanks again!

I have had hand tremors too. I suspect it was triggered by being mercury

toxic but might not have been the cause. I am not diabetic. I am a female

too.

I thought my problem was related to my hormones. But as a female most

symptoms tie in with hormones anyway.

Well, here goes. Evening of Primrose Oil or Borage oil taken with vitamin

E. Summing it up, seemed like a fatty acid deficiency. I have since tried

other fatty acids for other problems, like memory and has been very helpful.

About my shaking, any small intricate movement made me feel frustrated

because small tasks felt like major jobs. Even changing money at the cash

register whey I paid for my item. I felt self conscious because I though

other

people thought I was an alcoholic or a drug addict. This shaking in my

hands got so bad that I couldn't keep food on a fork also.

I was at the mall eating dinner and couldn't manage. I noticed at the

corner

of my eye a girl tapping her friend on the shoulder and pointing toward me

as I ate. It was that obvious. Some people asked me why my hands shaked,

I didn't know. My stupid ass doctor didn't either!

Liz D. Hope this is his answer, it was an easy fix for me.

about the flu shot as my mother is religious about getting the stupid

year before that. I asked him about amalgams and he has a couple.

Thanks Barb, that is interesting that your brother-in-law does the same thing.

I would love to think this is all in my head but it just screams biomedical.

Hopefully he will be game to try some things. I think he will, he has seen what

all these supplements are doing for my son.

Going to write all this down! Thanks so much,

Yes, , I think you do. My son had mild tremoring when he was trying

to carry out motor tasks, but the B12 shots seem to be helping with that

some. My brother-in-law, who gets a flu shot every year, has tremoring that

seems to be getting worse. (He also had a kidney transplant.)

Hi ,

My son started hand tremors shortly after getting the flu vaccine, I

ask the neuro about it, and after she checked him out she wrote in

his medical chart that my son has hand tremors ever since he

received the flu vaccine, and is allergic to mercury compounds.

Shortly after this on one of my list, one of the mothers was talking

about her son and how he has been getting worse every year and is

now in full body tremors(They are not seizures) The poor child can

not even hold his head up anylonger and is completely bed ridden. I

ask the mom if her son ever had the flu vaccine, He has been getting

for the past 15 years, since he was two years old. I told her about

the mercury in the flu shots, She had no idea, and was not to happy

to find out that her child has been getting injected with mercury

year after year. Im not sure if her son has any metal fillings, My

son does not have any fillings, and has never eaten fish in his

whole life.

I know you said your brother hasnt had the flu vaccine in the last

couple of years, But has he had a Tetanus injection? This also

contains Mercury. Has he been around any lamps that broke, that

contained mercury? Does he eat a lot of fish?

There is a lot of information on the web about diabetes and

thimerosal.

Good Luck!!!!

Wow, sounds like there is something there. My brother hasn't gotten the shot in

a couple years but he has still gotten plenty of them. I will ask about other

possible exposures but if he is one that doesn't detox well it may be just

sitting in his brain causing problems. I do think he has issues detoxing, says

he only sweats at night. Odd since he works out all the time, is a body

builder. That is so scary to think about it only getting worse. I am going to

have to play the big sister trump card and convince him to at least do the hair

test. That is easy and non-invasive. I sincerely thank you for your input. I

am so happy to think I may be able to help him, he is my baby brother!

This may be a little far-fetched, but my father had a bad tremor

before he died. One neurologist thought it was Parkinson's but

another said it wasn't--there was no definitive answer. He also had

neurological problems that remind me of my Asperger son. He had a

ton of amalgams and had been getting yearly flu shots plus who knows

what else for quite some time.

Ironically, he was a PhD researcher in plant genetics. He always

felt that his physical and neurological problems were due to some

type of poisoning. he thought it was a pesticide used on

strawberries that had spilled in the building he worked in.

My son, age 10, has tremors in his hands. The Dr. called them

intention tremors, meaning they are there when he's using his hands

but not there when his hands are at rest. I think its part of the

mercury poisioning.

That is how my hands bothered me too. No shaking when I am

resting, only using them.

Not far fetched at all.

My father (bio polar), was also diagnosed with Parkinson's by

two

so-called professionals.

He had bad tremors and shakes until he accidentally lowered his dose

of lithium he was taken.

All the tremors and shakes went way and along with the

Parkinson's.

Just few thoughts

Is there any meds he is on, also look into investigation a possible

trace mineral deficiency.

I will talk to him about all of this. He only lives about 2 hours from me so I

am going to get him to come visit. I can do some muscle testing with him and

boy do I have tons of supplements I can test him with. I don't think he takes

any medication and he really has a good diet. He has been in excellent control

of his diabetes for years now. He isn't infallable though. Like many college

kids he drinks often. I would think that could lower vitamin/mineral levels in

someone who was already predisposed to having issues. Much to think about!

Thanks so much for responding. I very much appreciate it!
