Re: Does anyone have the shakies???

[Guest guest]

You can have a low blood sugar or even low potassium that can cause

shakies. Did you eat much today or even drink plenty water? I don't

blame all my symptoms on fibro. There are other things that can cause

them, too.

Yes, I have had the shaking thing happen to me. Used

to happen quite a bit when the kids were very young.

Mostly around 6 in the evening while I was making

dinner. Very odd. However, I sometimes will have this

happen while I am exercising (rarely but it has

happened at least 3 X in the last year while I was on

the treadmill. Even more odd is that I was ravenous

the last couple of times and ran upstairs and began to

eat anything I could find with sugar in it. Went to

the doctor. Of course all tests came back fine. I

don't think what happens now is the fibro but I do

think that when it happened years ago that the fibro

messed up the levels of all the different hormones in

my body and that maybe I had an adrenaline rush or a

glucose spike and drop. It certainly felt like it was

" organic " and not anything neurological. The other

thought I had was that I wasn't eating well and maybe

I was simply exhausted and my body was screaming for

rest and a proper meal.

I would have it checked. I never blame anything on

fibro unless I have the symptom checked by my doc and

we discuss whether it is something that needs further

examination or if it can be explained as being part of

fibro symptoms. It just makes me feel more protected

to have my doctor's opinion and to keep him in the

loop just in case the odd symptom escalates or morphs

into something more severe.

The shaky feeling and the cravings for carbs is a symptom of hypoglycemia.

Not eating at regular times and exercise can both bring this on. I am

diabetic (type 2) and also have fibro. I have to watch that I don't go too

low when I exercise. Has your doctor checked you for diabetes? If not then

ask him the next time you see him. He will have some blood work done to

check your HbA1c which will tell him and you what your blood sugar has been

doing over the past 3 months.
