So if you know me at all, at some time or another you have probably noticed that I am a little shakey most of the time. I don't know why, I don't know what causes it, and usually it isn't a problem at all. I get asked all the time if I have eaten, or if I'm nervous or even cold. It is normally only noticeable if I hold my hand up.
For some reason the last 2 days or so I have been more shakey than normal. I first noticed yesterday, but really didn't think about it. Then today through out the day it was getting to the point that normal things were getting hard to do...I had trouble putting my mascara back in it's tube, I had trouble putting the key in the door, I was holding my whole head up with my hand and had to quit because I was shaking too much. My charm bracelet is constantly clanging...I went to james avery today to add a charm I got for my birthday and I could barely arrange the charms. I went to get my nails done and the lady had to hold my hand still so she could paint them. I went most of the day without worrying too much about it...it can't be a big deal right?
Sometime this afternoon I began to slightly worry about it. I really don't think it's a big deal, but it is pretty weird. I don't think the fact that I watch discovery health helps too much...there are always shows on about people who start out with mundane symptoms and get told they are fine...it's just some little thing....then BAM..they find out they have a brain tumor or something.
I thought about calling the dr. But I really didn't want to, I still have bills from the last time, I don't want to start all over with another hospital stay.
So finally I decide to call the dr. that prescibed the medicine I am on...because my best guess is that the medicine is what is causing it. She asked me several questions, had my diet changed, had I had a lot of caffine, how was I sleeping, do I smoke...but none of those had changed. All she said was to stop taking one of the meds I was on...but that it was odd if it was that med because if you are going to have a side effect you have it when you first start taking it, not when you have been on it for almost 2 months.
The best way I can describe it is like I am physically having a panic attack..I feel like my heart is racing, I can't sit still, but I'm not panicking, I'm not worried about anything.
I'm probably just nurotic (sp?)...or I'm dying...I guess we'll see in a few days.

well girly I don't know what meds you are on but when I was on seroquel (sp?) and prozac together and then quit them both within a month of each other I had shaking issues, and my hands would go numb sporadically. It really sucked, but eventually it went away. Sometimes medicines do funny things. I hope thats all it is for you too and you feel better tomorrow :)
