Shaky Legs

So a week or so ago I started having my legs shake either when I am sitting down teaching kids lessons on big stairs or just standing today I could feel a slight shake. It just feels like really week muscles. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what to do?

I get this symptom as well, particularly in the proximal muscles (upper thighs, sometimes upper arms). It has been so bad at times that I have been unable to walk. For me sometimes it coincides with reproductive system issues (e.g. PMS, ovulation, etc.) but other times just flares with other symptoms, as part of being run-down. I use essential oils and CBD topically to help, and make sure I have been getting enough iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. (Be sure to take iron and calcium at different times of day, if you supplement them.) I have been diagnosed with viral myositis before, because the first time this happened I had recently recovered from a bad virus, but I'm not sure that was a particularly useful diagnosis.

If anyone had tips for moving this symptom along when it strikes, then please share!

Yup I’ve had it.

Pretreatment - I had to stop driving because I was stopped at a red light and my leg started to shake just trying to keep the brakes on.

Also would feel like they were going to give out when I walked down the stairs in our home.


Much much better since treatment.

When we last visited our moldy lake house I had this happen with facial muscles. If I tried to scrunch up my nose my face started shaking.

Could you be exposed to mold?

I also have vibrations in my legs which when they are strong can feel like shaking.

Yeah, I have this with mold, too, but I also have the shaking muscles like sara and savedbygrace described. To me, these feel different and I can tell them apart.

I just asked my mom, who’s 81, if she ever had this. She said no. This is another one of those things I naively thought everyone experienced. I thought the same about ringing in the ears (tinnitus, which I’ve had several times again in the last week).

What sara said about the shaking leg muscles and menstrual cycles rings loud and clear with me. That makes me suspect bartonella, as bart is huge in affecting reproductive system. The fact that men have the shaking legs, too, makes me strongly suspect bart as opposed to hormone issues themselves. Just my 2 cents.

The hormone idea on this makes so much sense!! I’m around ovulation right now and also when this was bad was right before my cycle or even during it. Has to deal with hormones! I’ve had Bart bad too and Lyme for many years. Dang thanks all of you makes this so much clearer

nerve damage. if u do an EMG conduction test it will come back abnormal.

nothing to worry about, if u have positive lyme test just treat the lyme.

it will go away

I had this pretty early on and for a long time into treatment. Seemed to come back as well as joint pain issues again. My dr has me on LDN and a week in, I've seen a big difference in terms of both issues.
