HI, I REALLY HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP! I AM A 27 YEAR OLD FEMALE WHICH OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE HAD NO END OF MEDICAL PROBLEMS. ALTHOUGH MOST OF MY PROBLEMS HAVE EITHER BEEN RESOLVED OR ARE GETTING BETTER THERE IS THIS MAIN PROBLEM WHICH IS REALLY FRUSTRATING ME. I SUFFER FROM REALLY BAD TREMBLING ALL OVER MY BODY 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK WHICH CAN BE QUITE EMBARRASING AT TIMES. I HAVE RECENTLY DONE A FOOD INTOLERANCE TEST WHICH CAME BACK THAT I AM SENSITIVE TO CHICKEN, LOBSTER AND SUGAR! IVE HAD A DIABETES BLOOD TEST WHICH CAME BACK NEGATIVE BUT I DO EXPERIANCE SOME OF THE DIABETES SYMPTOMS LIKE VERY DRY MOUTH, ECZEMA ON SCALP, TREMBLING, SOMETIMES A LITTLE BLURRED VISION! I FIND THAT WHEN I EAT SOMETHING CONTAINING SUGAR LIKE A BISCUIT OR CHOCOLATE MY TREMBLING COOLS DOWN BUT DOESN'T STOP COMPLETELY. I HAD THE FOOD INTOLERANCE TEST DONE AS I GET ALOT OF HEAD ACHES AND MIGRAINS WITH VISUAL DISTURBANCES AND PROBLEMS WITH THE SKIN CONDITION IN MY EARS AND THROAT. I HAVE ALWAYS SUFFERED WITH HEAD ACHES AND MIGRANES SINCE FROM A YOUNG AGE BUT RECENTLY MY EARS HAVE BEEN A VERY HARD BATTLE TO WIN AS THEY ARE ALWAYS QUITE SOAR! I AM CURRENTLY BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS TO MY ENT DOCTOR WHICH HE JUST PRESCRIBES ME CREAM FOR MY EARS AND SOLUTION FOR MY THROAT! ALSO I HAVE BEEN ON MEDICATION FOR A SLIGHT OVERACTIVE THYROID WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY STOPPED AS MY THYROID LEVELS ARE BACK TO NORMAL! I HAVE ALSO HAD A CT SCAN TO RULE OUT ANYTHING WRONG IN MY HEAD WHICH ALSO CAME BACK AS NORMAL! MY DOCTOR HAS TOLD ME THAT IM PROBABLY SUFFERING FROM ANXIETY BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY TREMBLING. I AM A HAPPY, EASY GOING PERSON LIVING AND COPING WITH LIFES EVERY DAY STRESSES, I WOULD JUST REALLY LOVE TO PUT AN END TO ALL THESE SYMPTOMS OR JUST TO FIND SOME KIND OF UNDERSTANDING! IF ANYONE CAN HELP I WOULD BE SO MUCH APPRIECIATED!!!

Is it possible that you're hypoglycemic? It you're trembling all the time and eating something helps at times, this could be part of the problem. I would also recommend eating small, frequent meals that are low in carbs (esp. sugar) and high in protein. I also have a sugar intolerance and I have to cut out all refined sugars and carbs and I'm eating a lot more protein and veggies.
