Does anyone experience these tremors. Causing hands to shake and whole body jerking. Sometimes I have pain in large joints and in fingers. It feels like Im plugged into electricity.
Reading is impossible, I'm trying to crochet a baby blanket, not going very well with all the tremors in hands.
This has been getting worse and worse. I'm praying for this to stop. And I need support from those who can understand. And if you're not having these episodes I pray you never will...
Asking for help. Is there a medicine I could take. Cuz it's not from any of my meds...
Thank you. I'm sure I left out some kind of info. It hard to txt and remember what I'm txting about????

You may be deficient in minerals/amino acids (helps me with vibrations). Have you tried upping them? Mag?
Posted by Tammy N. (Member # 26835) on :
For me, buzzing, tingling, vibrations and electrical charges were my worst symptom by far. Horrendous. It lasted for more than a decade and no doc was able to help me. Then I finally started to treat for parasites...aggressively and long-term. It has changed my life completely. I do not have those symptoms any longer.
I rarely visit Lymenet, but since I just popped in today and saw your post, I thought I'd reply. I wish someone told me the importance of treating parasites years ago. It is the number one co-infection to Lyme, yet it is the most over-looked and under-treated infection. I'm still treating 2 1/2 years later, and still passing parasites.
Good luck to you.

I'm not taking anything except the Kagen Water. Which is oh darn it now I can't remember. I have a sublingual B12 if that will help. And I use a tall staff walking stick to go from room to room. This is very hard to even txt. I feel so weird. I can't even imagine what my brain is going through??? Major headaches. Thanks for all your help. I will get some mag. What would be a good starter dose???
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Tammy is right about the connection to parasites (I'm herxing today, don't feel good so I forgot). I also up my minerals and amino acids as sometimes it's them. Not sure on starter dose, but there is a mag thread floating around here (think it's Lymetoo's, you can do a search).
Annie, you might want to visit the parasite thread. It's full of info on parasites. Again, Tammy is right, parasites are considered the number one co infection yet most docs miss them (various reasons).
Tammy, we've missed you on the parasite thread! :)
Posted by Annie C (Member # 14) on :
Bless you Tammy for popping in. I believe God put people in our lives when we I you them need it. Let me say I'm in a real bad way. And emotional stress from this.
What do you suggest for parasites. I take up to 40 billion ??? Of Probiotics since 2005. I've a great health food Phd. Where do I begin?
Posted by Annie C (Member # 14) on :
Wow thank you all very much. And it's great to know there is something I can do about it. And I'm not the only one. I've been adding raw lemon juice to my drinking water. I drink about 60oz a day. I haven't seen the web sites yet. That's next after I txt this.
What dosage of Mag. should I start on. Low and build up to a stronger dose?
Thanks again so much. This is the best site for Lyme help.

Also my heart rate is 95 and I'm not doing anything but sitting. Is this a common side effect.
Posted by Annie C (Member # 14) on :
Actually my heart is pounding and I can hear it as well as see my shirt move with each heart beat. Is this normal for being low mag.??!
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
Agree with TammyN and Catgirl about treating for parasites. I will bring up the thread for you so you can check it out. Also, your heart rate can go up and tremors and internal vibrations can increase just from herxing and dieoff from toxins as countryair suggests.
Are you on abx or other tx? You might just need to take a break until things calm down and follow countryairs advice above. Hope you feel better.

Ive been off Abx since March. So the Lyme is having it's way with me. And somedays I can't even remember what I did. Then there are days when I do dishes couple loads of laundry and I spin down into a herx.
I also have seizure episodes usually daily. But last Sat and Sun none. It's like a blind man throwing darts. Nothing personal cuz I have briefly lost mine twice. Once when I was 13 and once when I was 45.
It seemed to slow down here for an hour now the internal and hand shaking is bad again. But I'm a survivor. Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Definitely need magnesium!!!!!

Vistaril not the generic helped my mom with th a t. She had it real bad
Posted by mlg (Member # 35383) on :
Atenolol.
Also anti-parasitics, b-complex, promethazine, fish oil
Posted by TerryK (Member # 8552) on :
Natures sunshine mineral chi was amazing for me when I had that symptom. I still get it sometimes so I keep a bottle on hand. I do not sell it.
Years ago I would sometimes get that symptom for a short time when I ate wheat so consider that allergies might be part of the picture.
After the first few years of lyme treatment I got that symptom 24/7 non-stop. Drove me crazy until I found that mineral chi worked for me. I can't guarantee it will work for you but it seems like it would be worth a try.
I hope you get rid of that symptom. It is such an awful symptom.

Bless you all so very much. This much info gives me a great head start. It's not so bad this morning. Right now I'm dealing with major migraine stabbing the left side of my head. And the depression that it causes. Thank you for all your caring words of encouragement.
Posted by Annie C (Member # 14) on :
Hi to all, well it's been 14 years coming to and depending on know I can rely on information given. And being bitten by ticks 3 times last year. 1 in March and 2 in June. I've been on a downward spiral. Some days I can barely move. I have a car that I can't drive when I need to. Drs here deny Lyme exists in Arkansas. So I'm being neglected by all medical people. Please pray for me to continue.
I love what Terry posted at the bottom of her reply by Joseph Campbell. I'm feeling faint, weak and scared. My migraine is getting worse and on back of neck left jaw and left side of neck is throbbing now. Time for more Tylenol. Thanks again. And to you LymeToo. (-: I know God is with me.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Annie... definitely get more minerals and especially magnesium into your body.

Take one day at a time Annie and hang on to the good Lord with everything you can. Please know you and all those suffering with this terrible disease are in my prayers.
Here is the link to the "Parasite Warriors Support Thread":
Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info): www.lyme-aware.org/arkansas.html Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Annie, as much as docs in Arkansas don't believe in lyme, most docs don't believe in parasites. IMO treating them is the way out. Dr. K puts all of his patients on parasite treatment first.
None of my docs thought I had them, but I bought some herbs and out they started to come (very small ones at first). I worked on parasites for over a year before I passed a worm. I am still working on them. The more I do, the more come out, and funny thing, the better both my heart and brain get (go figure). Allergies, ear issues, floaters, teeth and jaw clenching and more have all improved because of parasite treatment.
As far as lyme, if you can't find a doc, check out Buhner's protocol. Someone posted here recently where her daughter made progress on it (think it was rowingmom). It was encouraging.
Above all, don't forget the parasites. If I had to do it all over again, parasites are where I'd start. Check out the salt/c protocol and anti parasitic herbs (parasite warrior's thread).
