When I try to squeeze my hand in to a fist my hand starts to shake. Or, if I go up on my tiptoes (while sitting) my legs shake. My teeth even shake if I try to line the front and bottom up. Is this all common with Lyme? I am having one of those moments of weakness where I'm starting to worry this is turning into MS or ALS. I tell myself all the time that my symptoms are too "come and go" for that type of disease. Is that really true though?

I have asked my husband so many times "should I go to the doctor for this?" He says in such an endearing tone, "honey, it is just lyme." And with that I am soothed. And what do you know, just a wee bit later and that symptom would be replaced with an entirely different one and there we would go again ......

Honestly, every and any symptom is lyme. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason as they wax and wane or come and go.

I know that if it was something I should go to the doctor for, I probably would not have asked. I would have gone.

Always go with your gut feelings! Intuition is truly a great gift.

I had muscle tremors. Your muscles have weakness from the infection - the toxicity. Mine was greatest also when my liver enzymes were high- its is connected. Liver alt, ast should be tested if you dont already monitor- regular labs do this, ins covered.

ABX can overload the liver if you dont detox well leading to the above statement.

Lyme lowers thyroid output in some people. Low thyroid will do this too.

Take magnessium (but away from other meds, as it absorb- use only the good mag that ends in "ate". mag oxide does nothing.

K07 - these are known as intention tremors if you are say reaching for something that you are wanting to pick up or postural tremors when it's an outstretched limb. I had these a lot, but they have mostly gone away since I finished treatment, and given my nervous system more time to complete it's healing.

And yes, that is one of the most common things for Lyme (cycling symptoms), where as for those with true ALS the symptoms never do anything but get worse. Sometimes Lyme can mimic that perfectly as well, but for most of us, the symptoms will come and go, wax and wane.

Yes! I get the same thing. It comes and goes in severity and how long it stays. Seems like it's been worse this winter as I hardly have any endurance at all some days.

Hello K07,

I get the tremors too. They vary in intensity, and come and go whenever. I, like you, also get them when I stand on my tiptoes or the front if my foot. Sometimes when I'm taking a shower, and I prop my foot on the edge of the tub to shave, my leg will tremor rapidly. I have to be careful not to cut myself...it sucks. It seems to also do this when I'm going down a flight of stairs.

Omg, yes the shaving! Ok, now I am relaxing a bit. My hand has actually gotten better after an epsom bath. I do notice if I over-use it's much worse. And my over-use is not much compared to the pre-sick days.

The teeth thing scares me and is pretty constant but worse when I get nervous/worried. I know it's all nervous system related. I wonder if anyone else with the "inner shaking" has this.

Astroman-magnesium in epsom prob helped some.

Thanks everyone for chiming in. No words for how much you all help.

Over electrification from toxicity or lack of magnesium. A side effect of the infections.

Some MDs think it's ammonia from bugs converting into a surge of glutamate in the body which will give you the "shakes."

Jerigan talks about it some.

I have to detox like a mad man and it does go away. The shaking is exhausting on my body though.
