Tremors can be pretty disconcerting, especially if you're an experienced fitness person, as it seems you are. I get tremors when I am overtired and stressed. They generally get worse with worry, but they get better with rest and a regular schedule. Sometimes when I am talking to someone and getting animated, my left hand will begin to tremble and shake.

I used to lift religiously and was 150% into fitness for years, so I also feel I have a good sense of my own body. Tremors -- especially when they come out of the blue -- can be worrisome. I've also got weakness in my left hand. I've been hit in the head more times than I can remember -- assaults, car accidents, falls, sports injuries -- so maybe that's what causes it, maybe not.

You may want to check with a neuro about it. I haven't done so, because I'm leery of them after some really bad experiences -- and (full disclosure) I'm also a little concerned that they might "find something" that I don't want to deal with. I've made a pact with myself that if they ever don't go away after good rest, good food, and regular exercise, I'll seek medical attention, but for now, just taking care of myself and not worrying about it is my #1 approach.

What happened: Sustained mild TBI #9(+) in 2004 when I fell down a flight of stairs and smacked the back of my head on the steps. Knocked out briefly, then bounced back and resumed everyday life, as usual. Then things fell apart -- lost my job, friends disappeared, spouse became terrified of me, money flew out the window, and I had no idea it was all happening, or why. Finally put things together in 2007, when I was researching brain injury for a family member. Have been actively working with a neuropsych and recovering since late 2007, with amazing results I never thought possible.

I blog about this at

Symptoms: fatigue, tinitis, sensitivity to light and noise and touch, insomnia, general pain, headache, attention issues, emotional lability, panic/anxiety, anger/rage spikes, confusion, difficulty hearing and understanding, slowed processing speed, limited short-term working memory, balance & vertigo issues, difficulty reading and learning new things, nystagmus and tremors when over-tired.
