I had to take a valium yesterday during the day to calm the spasms. Usually during the day the pain is manageable through non drug techniques. I had to do it again today and I'm very upset about that also because I don't like to take anything. I don't understand the severe muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders and the tremor. It makes me think more and more that this is something lyme like.
I am trying not to get too upset. So far I have not entered back into the debilitating onset that I experienced from Sept through January. My cognitive function is still not back to normal, but is no where near how bad it was then.
Anyone other idiopathic PNers have this tremor visible shakiness? I'm not just talking about the internal buzzing/vibrating- I mean you can actually see it.

Hi,
I have shaky hands. Yes, they visibly shake. Also, I can see the muscle fasciclations, if that is what you are referring to. It may move 10-20 times, but not near as severe as some of the others discuss on here, or what you are referring to in this post. They happen mostly in my legs, shoulders, abdomen, and back. My hands, in the mornings some, but especially when I am really worn out after physical activity. I have wondering if anxiety was the cause, but now I am thinking no. I have been so in my head about all my symptoms. It is a constant puzzle that I am frankly tired of trying to figure out!! I have relatively consistent symptoms from day to day, but some come and go, wax and wane. I have been diagnosed with a tick borne illness, refer to my most recent post, but no other diagnosis yet. I am starting to reconsider LYME myself since co-infections can occur. I am sorry for your recent relapse of symptoms. Praying for relief soon.
