Do any of you find you have fatigue? I ask mainly because I have felt as if I have had worsening fatigue over the last few years...Wanted to know if there was anyone else out there who also had this issue along with all the rest.
Also, another bizarre thing...I have a bit of a tremor, essential tremor (the familial tremor) runs in the family my mother and aunt both have it. My tremor comes and goes, and is worse with anxiety, etc. Per my neuro, I have the "wrong" type of tremor for it to be Parkinson's/etc., she's not even sure it's the familial tremor at the moment, and doesn't know what it is but thinks it may have to do with stress and/or nutrition. However, I have been noticing that it is there something very odd about it--I can get it right after I wake up, as if my body seems to be stressed by the act of waking up. Has anyone had something similar? |

Hi again I replied to the other thread but had another thought with this. Do you have bowel issues? You mentioned diet as well and I wonder if you had said you were tested for gluten or had any other stomach conditions. I do know for me my stress and severe anxiety does not help my pain or symptoms. I went back to a psych about 3 months ago and though I am still on constant edge I do see some benefits. So you may want to look into that. The fatigue with low b levels that can be but also have you been tested for fibromyalgia cause I think low d levels can have that as a sign as well. Feel better

A parkinsonian tremor looks like they are rolling a coin/pill in their thumbs.
(my grandpa has parkinsons) As for fatigue.. I am sleeping (nap) by 3pm. And then I am down for the night by 8-10 pm. I'm only 23 years old.. no kids to wear me down. |

Aliya,
Another thing to look for is viral. Viral illnesses can cause alot of fatigue. Both Herpes simplex and Herpes Zoster (chickenpox) can be latent in the body and rear up now and then.Both live in the nerves and can cause pain. There are blood tests for both. It might be a good idea to have that tested. L-lysine can keep them sleeping. A diet high in arginine will activate the virus for some people. That is when symptoms come. There may be symptoms with no skin lesions. here is a chart about arginine containing foods: http://www.herpes.com/Nutrition.shtml Typically 1 or 2 grams a day of L-lysine is the typical dose. Viral symptoms may return with stress. This lowers the immune system and allows the virus to live in tissues after being dormant.

Your PCP can have you tested, of you could go for a specialist, such as a gastro doc. Do not take no for an answer, don't let them say, "You don't look celiac." There is not really a look about us, I gained weight when I was malnourished, my sister lost. My sister is a diagnosed celiac, and our dad is gluten free, she for 9 yrs, he for 4 1/2 yrs. They should do testing for Gliadin levels, being IGA, and IGG, along with HLA typing, for celiac disease. You should also have your B12 level checked and your Vit D level. As for fatigue, I also have chronic fatigue, because of high Epstein Barr Virus levels. It's difficult having fatigue. I also am diagnosed with sleep apnea, and on CPAP. With chronic fatigue, the general RX is rest and exercise. With celiac disease/gluten intolerance, the RX is a gluten free lifestyle, totally gluten free.

Do you take lyrica or amytriptylene? I do have some fatigure but the amytrip and the lyrica cause me to constantly fight sleep. If I get still I can easily go to sleep. Could it be the drugs you take? Leslie |

Hi, Just wanted to say that I recently have had some similar issues both in terms of the fatigue and the tremors. And to Mrsd credit I found that mine symptoms have been casued by the herpes simplex/Herpes Zoster virus. For me the tremor is from teh nerve damage the virus has caused. And yes it is musch worse in the morning. |

I too, have fatigue as well as tremors and PN. For me the cause is Neurological Lyme Disease (and also the tick-borne disease Bartonella/cat scratch fever).
