I have RLS which can be in all limbs and muscle contractions in limbs and back but not tremours. Has your Dr. recommended any other tests for you?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I also have tremors... mainly on my right side.... doctor had me on Meripex for a long time... and that did wonders in helping to control them.... I do not take it now.... one of the side effects deals with cognative thinking... it got to where I couldn't do my checkbook... so for me it was better to be able to use my brain and deal with the tremors...... they seem to get worse when i am really stressed or tired. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Do you mean muscle spasms? I have those all the time with my fibro and other muscle problems.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 If you get a chance could you describe that the tremors " feel " like to you as they are happening?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I had a weird episode this summer where I couldn't move the left side of my body. I went to my doctor who called an ambulance and I was rushed to the hospital. My doctor was so SURE I had had a stroke. The stroke team at the hospital thought I had had a severe form of migraine (I frequently get a migraine that doesn't hurt, but causes paralysis in part of the body). I was sure that I had MS and this was the begining of it. No one knows what happened and they can't agree on a diagnosis even after 2 CT scans and an MRI, BUT ever since that day I have a distinct tremor in my hands, more so on my left. I also continue to have weakness on my left side. I guess my answer to you is that I don't know what it is either. Could be another symptom in a long list of symptoms.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 , I don't know that this helps since I have never been officially diagnosed with FM, only CFS. Tremors were one of my first symptoms. My head will jerk really hard, and tremors in my legs and esp in my right arm. They are when I am trying to move these parts (trying to lift a glass to my mouth, walking, etc. ) Doctors tell me they are familial, essential tremors. They do run in families and the more stress I put my body under (if I keep pushing, instead of resting) the harder the tremors are. Members of my family have had tremors due to other diseases (diabetes, Parkinsons, Alzheimers), so just make sure what the tremors are caused from and hopefully, if you give your body the rest it needs, they will ease off a bit. That's how it worked for me anyway. I don't get them near as much as I did at the beginning (back in '98) Good Luck to you!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I get facial tremors around my eyes. I also get tremors in my hands and in my lower legs. Yes, I think this is a part of Fibromyalgia, but I haven't seen anything written about it from this board or any other for that matter.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 >Hi , I have both fibro and CFIDS and have suffered tremors. My doctor said it's an advanced symptom of RLS. He has changed up my meds and I have not had them since.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Thank you all for replying back regarding my tremors, someone ask me what they felt like, well my right arm, hand and leg constantly shake (like someone with Parkinson), when I get anxious, stress or tired it gets worse, the only time they stop is when I'm sleep, but that's when the muscle spasms kicks in, so I do know the difference of them both, my poor husband does also as I kick him all night. I had cervical surgery in June and due to the metal plate that it was inserted on my neck, my MRI could not be read to see if there were signs of nerve damage or spinal cord damage due to the surgery, my brain MRI was cleared. While I was in Rehab (cause I stop walking due to pain) they try me with Parkinson's medication, but it did not work at all. At the moment I'm walking with the aid of a walker or a walking stick as the tremors interfere with my balance. I wish there were more information regarding this tremors associated with FMS, my Drs have never hear of any one with tremors with FMS, but then again in Australia FMS is not well known yet, they have lots to learn, because most of my information I gathered it from the US, UK or Canada. Thank you everyone, at least I know that I'm not alone --snip- Have you or do you know any body that experiences tremours with Fibromyalgia?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 So , you are in Australia, what part? I've been corresponding with a few people in Australia, one is in Sydney and the other Brisbane. I've wondered, how you do in the heat? I live in St. Louis, MO (midwest of USA) and I notice I do better when the weather cools down, but your weather doesn't really cool down much, does it?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Jane and This reminded me sometimes I experience a period of time, from a few days to a week, where I drop everything it just leaves my hands and when that starts I have to be vigilant so much of what is expressed here is bringing my own symptoms to the fore I used to be so scared of them (the symptoms) if it comforts anyone you do tend to reach a point of " oh well " ...(my diagnosis is CFIDS/FM) noone so far has mentioned ongoing bacterial/viral infections at what they could later point to as the start of their illnesses...anyone experienced this?

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Dear Marie, My mother used to refer to that (humorously) as " dropsy " . I had quite a bit of that myself today as I was trying to make pancakes for breakfast. (I did eventually manage to achieve pancakes for me and my grown son.) I can't pinpoint a clearcut infection as the beginning of my illness. However, I did have a severe case of mononucleosis in my late teens, and although I got better eventually (took about 2 years to recover enough to go back to college), I'd say that over the ~35 years since then there have been very few periods where I'd describe my condition as " vibrant good health " . Blood test results for me recently came back positive for Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus (which causes mono), and several other things. I will be keenly interested to see if antibiotics & antivirals result in an improvement. I'll be starting in on those sometime in January.
