Shuddering!

[Julzrocx]

Hi does anyone suffer internal shuddering/tremor?

I'm suffering it now, I thought may be it was low blood sugars but sugar/food hasn't helped.

I've had it before but not this bad.

Any ideas on cause and or how to stop it.

Thanks

Can you tell us a little more? For example, do you have an autoimmune thyroid condition and what were your last blood test results? Are you newly diagnosed or lived with thyroid disease for a long time?

I had internal shuddering when my heartrate was too fast from being overmedicated but there could be other reasons and it could be different for others. It's worth investigating the cause so you'll know what it means if it happens again in the future.

How to stop it will depend on the cause. Could you get a blood test done or have you just had one?

Are you on thyroid medication... self treating? Have you just started T 3 supplementation? Have you just increased your thyroid meds? Do you have hashimoto's disease? Had any labs done lately that you can share with us? It sounds like an 'over-medicated' cause or maybe an adrenal issue? Or if you have hashis, a release of thyroid hormones as your body attacks your thyroid maybe ????? Just hard to say with any certainty with so little information, my friend.

Hi.

Yes I have hashimoto's, had it for 18 years. I'm now 53. I take Levo-now 75mg, diagnosed with fatty liver 2 years ago so put my self on NDT 18 months ago and fatty liver cleared up along with some of the fatigue I suffered.

I take 1 NDT tablet each morning, Levo and 5mg rosuvastatin before bed.

I generally feel better and my last blood test was NHS-normal!. I don't have my results.

My heart isn't racing although I'm thinking I may now have pre-menopausal symptoms such as heightened anxiety, brain fog, reduced concentration In addition to the usual thyroid disease symptoms.

This shuddering/tremoring feeling is awful-it's like a drill going off inside me. It's a different feeling to hyper as I've had that before.

Hi - "..my last blood test was NHS-normal!I don't have my results." As I said to someone else recently, lesson number 1 is to never believe a doctor's interpretation of thyroid results. Many doctors will call any result that is in range "normal", when it is actually anything but. You really need to obtain a copy of your results from the GP's receptionist (you are legally entitled to them) and post them here, including ranges, for a proper interpretation. They should look something like TSH 2.2 (0.4-4.2). Post whatever you can find from tsh, ft4, ft3, folate, ferritin, vit d and vit b12.

It could be that you are actually under-medicated with nutritional deficiencies causing your issues, but without numbers it is impossible to advise properly.
