Hi this is my first time Im 66 and have been waking up due to internal tremor. My doctor has not found the cause did a sleep apnea test all good thyroid test as mine has been removed and am on Thyroxine. My whole life I was never thirsty and never drank now being older and wiser I have been drinking and find that in the middle of the night when the tremor awake me i drink and fall back to sleep.
lately I can have 6 hours of sleep then the tremors start and wake me from a deep sleep. My hollistic doctor said maybe adrenal fatigue but the tests came back ok. Could it be simply dehydration?? I am drinking more during the day just forcing myself to do so.
In June checking every thing in my body made me discover I had bowel cancer early stage no symptoms just my research. Result 25cm of sigmoid removed during the week in hospital during that time under a drip i did not have night or morning tremors that is why Im thinking maybe lack of water in my body could be the cause by the way I have never perspired.Any idea? thank you

Hello Darling Gaspard,

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

When you say "the tremor awake me", I'm wondering if they are like a jerking movement or restless feeling or something else.

Where in the body do you feel these tremors and can you describe them a little more if possible? That way we may be able to help you more.

Are you taking any medications apart from the Thyroxine?

I have essential tremor and find that asleep I dont tremor but on waking shake quite a bit until it settles. I have thyroid problems too and there is a specific tremor that goes with thyroid, but its overactive thryoid, mine is underactive. I take a betablocker which diminishes it significantly. Could it be low blood sugar? All the best anyway.

Join us at the Periferal Neuropathy forum and since you said you cannot sweat, use the search function at the top of the page and if I remember right the no sweating narrows the diagnosis. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
