Neurological Concern (Inner Tremor, Sleep Shakes) Mystery Illness

[bartleyk]

I am a 29 year old, white male in Michigan, USA.

As many visitors here might experience, I have had an array of unusual neurological symptoms over the past 8 months.  I have seen several doctors and specialists (including second opinions) to include neurologists, infectious disease docs, etc.  I have had pretty much every test under the sun (HIV, MRIs, EMGs, EEGs, Sleep Studies, Western Blot, and the list goes on and on) and everything has come back normal except for 1 and I will go into that further down.

Ok, so let's get on to my symptoms.  At times I have this feeling of an inner tremor of sorts.  It is real hard to explain to someone who hasn't felt it but I would correlate it to having an extreme feeling of a caffeine buzz.  I actually feel my entire upper body tremor internally for a period of time and then as mysterious as it appears it just goes away.  There is really no set schedule on when it comes and goes other than at night which I will get to next paragraph.  It thus far comes and goes randomly but appears to be coming on more frequently as of recent.  The odd thing is that if my wife touches my arms or stomach or chest, etc., she cannot feel a tremor type sensation, I only feel it internally.

Having said that, at very minimal times will I actually notice a difficulty holding my hands stable if I try to hold them in a certain, unrelaxed position.  For example - if I try to hold the phone to my head at just the right angle, sometimes my hands will tremble trying to hold it, but at other times, no problem at all.  I only have the problem when I have the internal tremor but most of the time I have the inner tremor I still don

HI Patti,

I was reading your post and i am going through this same thing which is a real nightmare, just wanted to know did the vitamins cure you completely? (hope so). what type of vitamins did you take. I get tremors all the time but when i lie down they are so strong and really upset me. Please let me know. Thanks

Tom,
Have you got rid of the shakes yet?. I have had it for 16 months and it is driving me nuts. I take Propranolol (have cut down from 20mg to 15mg a day) and have tried to just take 10 but then the shaking gets worse. I want to get off the tablets altogether. Don't know what it is but am ok during day. Only affects me at night and sometimes when I am watching tv sprawled on sofa or reading a book, although these instances have lessened I hope. Would really like to find some encouragement from other sufferers.
Take care
Lydia

I'm wondering if any of these can be attributed to high EMFs/RFs (electro-magnetic fields, radio frequency fields)? Is anyone in this thread sleeping with their cellphone? Do you have a cordless phone and base on your night-stand next to where you sleep? Is there a SmartMeter on your house anywhere near your bedroom/bed?  EMFs can really disturb sleep - so can low0-level 'dirty electricity' - if folks haven't researched this yet, look into it.
