Questions about Whole Body Tremors

[AlexAls23]

I have a question about tremors. I've been having them lately. I feel them now almost 24/7. They are whole body wide. This is going on for about 5 days know. I dont have visible tremors such as a "trembling hand" or so. They are more in my body. I can feel them.

It's a sort of trembling vibrating. I cant compare it with the type of vibrating i had experienced in my ancle in the past, because it feels different.

One could describe them as if there was an earthquake.

I feel them almost throughout the entire day but not really at a constant level. It is rather a rhythmical pattern. It feel as if the trembling would speed up (1-2 sec.) and then fade away.

My tremors are not induced by any movement. I just feel!

I have read other posts reporting similar experiences but the thing that freaks me out is the consistncy of my tremors (=> 24/7 for 5 days now).

Has anyone else been through a similar phase.

Would really appreciate some input here.

THe thing is that my tremors started 2 days before i first took the sleeping pills. But after starting taking them the tremors moved on to become a 24/7 feeling. Before the sleeping pills the tremors where only in the night there.

So it may be that the sleeping pills have made them worse, however not started them.

I really don't know. The thing is that i'm also getting here and there pins and needles and a sort of "it is inflammed"-type of pain along my spine.

Only to get some releave, pins and needles have nothing to do with Als and parkinson dont they?

The body is such an odd and wonderful mechanism. It carries us around, through many years and only asks that we feed it and excercise a wee bit. It is so sensitive as well, to stimuli I mean. It feels hot and cold, and every temperature in between. It can makes us cry tears of joy, and it can provoke tears of sorrow. Isn't this remarkable. Two contrasting emotions that have the same symptoms. When I listen to Bach's Ave Maria I cannot tell if I am sad sometimes, or just besot with the glorious nature of how Mr. Bach has brought heaven down to us here on earth, through his genius, his humanity. While I'm on the subject, how did Beethoven compose his ninth symphony. He was profoundly deaf and would never, ever hear his testament to joy, his ode for the world. MY GOD, when I hear the strains of that symphony I am overwhelmed; with love, ecstacy. How could a person so impaired create such magic, such purity. I am too small to fathom this but oh alex, how I feel it, in my fingers, my toes, in my soul. I am on a music theme today but what about Rodin. I saw his statue of "The Kiss," I believe it was in the Tate Gallery in London. He transformed a lump of inert rock into one of the most moving things I ever been priviledged enough to witness. He didn't carve two people kissing but rather he distilled an emotion that goes beyond words, he carved romantic love.

Alex, I really have no idea why you vibrate or shake. Probably none of us do, and a scientific explanation would only lessen the marvel of you, the man. I have all kinds of "goings on" in my person, I have given up trying to define them. After a seeming lifetime of feeling unwell, I have given up trying to find the cause of my ailments. Why? Because mein freund, even if I have one day left, or just enough to time to finish this post, I want spend it on the things that matter most. To me that is my family, staring at the sky, twirling around (sometimes), laughing, crying in joy, dancing. When I feel myself slipping I indulge myself in music that I find an affirmation, music that I know was created by men/women who were kissed by the almighty. I go for a walk and think of how lucky I am to have been given the gift of children, who for some inexplicable reason adore me, even though I have, at times, been unworthy of this.

Sometimes, and I don't know why alex, your postings seem more sad than worried. I can see immediately that you are a man of great sensitivity, a man who, perhaps, has been hurt just a little by the world. Remember, that you share this world with a most remarkable person, and that is yourself. You were born, and by that very act were loved. It is up to us how we use this grace than has been given us. Are we going to spend our lives in endless acts of contrition, or are we going to embrace the poignancy of our life, our spiritual selves.

Viele grusse,
Basso

I have shakes, tremors, swaying, you name it. The tremors used to freak me out worse than the twitching. My twitching has always been mild compared to my tremors.

I've experienced the body-wide internal tremors also. This absolutely gets MUCH worse with anxiety, and if I might say-anxiety specific to the tremors themselves makes those pesky tremors much worse. In other words, if you are fretting about your tremors, please do everything in your power to try and ignore them. I know it is challenging, but it is possible. I will never forget my husband came home from work one day and found me in a crying, hysterical heap because I couldn't function from so much shaking. I was so fixated on how much I shook and how I had lost control over my body that I just made it so much worse. Now when I get to feeling that way I just take a deep breath and recognize that shaking is so not worth losing my peace over.

Once I stopped fighting it and just accepted that it was benign and part of bfs, my shaking got so much better.

Do you have the swaying symptom too? I find that one particularly fun. If I sit very still and concentrate, I can get my whole body to rock back and forth (or my head, or a limb,) and I don't have to move on my own. I've tried to explain it to people and have even shown it to my husband but he can't believe I'm not swaying intentionally. It makes me feel like I've been out to sea and haven't gotten my "land legs" yet LOL.

I am not on any medication nor did my tremors improve or worsen with anything I took in the past.
