  Have you had any tests for any deficiencies?
Zinc, potassium and magnesium in particular are usually suspect.
Hair analysis-specially for Mg- is more accurate as Mg is only 1% only in the blood,
so blood tests are sometimes inefficient to show certain deficiencies.
Just another possibility.

Hey kfrick,
Welcome to the forum.
Fibromyalgia itself, does not cause anything.
It is not an illness but rather a Syndrome (Fibromyalgia Syndrome)
Most likely the tremors are caused by a co-infection -see my previous post-,(secondary)
a drug side effect  or other idiopathic causative factors.
Caffeine (in coffee, colas etc.) may aggravate the tremors in some people.
If you need more info let me know and  please provide more details.
Blessings,
