Benign essential tremors

[Zita71]

Hi guys I have had hand shaking in both hands for a while now and the dr thinks it maybe benign essential tremors have any of you had this ?

Yes - sort of. My Mum was mis-diagnosed with this two years ago.

Do you have any recent thyroid antibody tests?

[Zita71 in reply to Kes8]

recent ones say my thyroid level is slightly high on the thyroxine side but last time they lowered my thyroxine I was very ill

Low nutrients can cause problems with tremor, and so can low Free T3. Cortisol which is too low or too high can cause tremor as well.

1) Do you take any supplements? If yes, tell us what, and in what dose.

2) Have you had nutrient levels tested in the last 3 - 6 months? If yes, could you type in the results and reference ranges for us.

3) Have you had any recent thyroid testing? Are you being treated for thyroid problems? If you could tell us the results and reference ranges, plus dosages of whatever meds you take it would be helpful.
