shaking
Anyone else wake up every morning with the shakes? My hands are the worst. My heart sometimes feels like it is racing also but only in the mornings. I'm on week 19/28 of treatment Peg/Riba/Vic.
I'm shaky in the morning also. I just attributed it to these wonderful drugs and it was time to eat and get on the treadmill. After I exercise it seems to calm down.
I've had at-rest tremors for most of my life that are definitely exaggerated now. And sometimes it feels like my heart just won't be able to keep up. I'm on week 6/48 and most days I feel like a Chihuahua on crack!! Add dizzy/light-headed to that and it sums up my day!
Hang in there... you're getting so close!

As for me, I have noticed fine tremors of my fingers, especially when trying to do something like thread a needle. I never had those before.
I also notice that I get quite lightheaded and shaky at times and I have yet to figure out why. Often it is in the morning not too long after getting up or an hour or two later. I get all hot and cold and sweaty and I feel like I am about to pass out. I have to go sit in the recliner with the fan on me. Later in the day, I feel lightheaded and shaky at times too and just weak and "not all there." I don't know how to describe it. But I have to sit down. Usually later in the day I feel better.
I have not been able to pinpoint a cause and so I just try to drink a lot of fluids, eat, and try to get some activity in. Personally, I think it is the meds just doing their thing. Hopefully it will go away after treatment.
You are doing great, 19 out of 28 weeks. Over 2/3 of the way to the finish line. You will be done soon. : )
