tremors a sign for?

There were a couple posts on this in the last month maybe. I dont remember who responded.

Having tremors for quite some time (of and on for a couple decades), my worst point was when my forst symptoms all hit me like a ton of bricks, then it leveled off for a decade. Then most recently at the time of my heightened toxicity from lyme treatment combined with candida. I Detoxed more aggressively, but it didnt matter, plus I have some genes that make methalation / detoxing not as optimal as in some people.

Work performance was affected so I went on Rx Propranolol, which is one of the first beta blockers but also commonly used for essential tremor when prescribed in extended time release form. It does the job no herbs would do. You could say it saved my "employ-ability". Doesn't bother me anymore, This still improves slowly, it sometimes acts up when stressed to- so adrenals might play a part of it too.

Astro - Do you experience any side effects from the Propranalol?

- like lowering of your blood pressure?

My LLND suggested I try it for my nervous system shivers but I never did. Not sure I want to lower my blood pressure.
He thought I might be able to go on it for 30 days - then stop and maybe the shivers would stop.
I guess he was thinking that I needed to interrupt it and break the cycle.

Interesting. I've never heard of Propranolol. Did you LLMD prescribe this for you?

So they eventually went away?

I wonder what the mechanism is of these tremors. I wonder if the spirochetes are eating away at the part of the brain that controls this. Or if they're screwing around with the spinal chord somehow.

Tremors can be caused from many issues all rolled together. Just like the cause of a perfect storm.

Its part toxicity, hormones- thyroid- adrenals-others, muscle fatigue, nerve issues - when some or all are askew- tremors can happen. All this stuff can happen when lyme is rampant. So if someone says it was from lyme and went away when lyme went away- its this stuff that most likely got better. Brain/nuero stuff does it too too- from lyme.

I could not wait to resolve this, at the time a couple years ago it was at it worst peak, I needed to remain employable. I still tremored some days on it but less, since I didnt take a high dose. Still on ot too, but I tremor very little this winter.

Keep in mind I had lyme for decades, I do believe there is some long term lyme effects that linger or heal very slow like nervous system and adrenals, and I have autoimmune hashimoto too- that can make tremors too. So everyone's outcome can be different.

If you shake with movement its called essential tremor and propranerolo has been used for that for many years. Yes it will lower your BP too, mine was little high, so might as well.

Skakeing while not moving is non-essential tremor - look at parkinsons ect - similar thing but they shake when not moving..

Sorry to respond to an old thread but I have this too.

I start shaking and it almost feels like restless leg syndrome, its like the need to shake.

I really want to know if its a herx or antibiotic toxicity.

I hope its a herx.

It's more intense than a tremor, although I have those too.
