please help if you can. Please. I have a constant tremble in my body. My finger keeps going rigid. I am dreading another symptom. My doctor will not send me for a scan. He has prescribed anti depressents . I am so worried. Are these constant trembles that started as pin and needles ( which I stay have ) and travelled all over my body a sign of something. Should I use my savings and go private .
Please if you can help and thank you x
Hi,
you might have this effect for the medicine as well.Dont worry ,which medication you taking at the moment.?
Hi
thank you . No not taking them. worried about the side effects . Maybe I should ?
Thank you
UK? No you shouldn’t go private, why should you, that’s what our taxes are for.
Just to let you know I’m a long time severe anxiety sufferer. Unfortunately GP’s are more than happy to chuck antidepressants at people when really they should rule other things out first. It’s the magic pill that they dish out like smarties, it’s pathetic. You know your body, nobody else.
Good luck👍
do you normally have anxiety? Is there something in your life causing you fear and or anxiety?
start with the most common explanation before jumping to worst case. I’m not sure your age but Parkinson’s doesn’t normally strike young people. Anxiety can cause hundreds of different symptoms including trembling, pins in needles, and many more.
the first thing I would recommend is a complete check up which you may have already had.
Is your doctor saying that your symptoms are due to anxiety? He or she may not have seen anything concerning. What kind of scan did you want? MRI?are you having any other symptoms? If not, you could let the medication work and get some counseling to see if you can relax and ease up the trembling. I had that also in my 20s when I was under a lot of stress. I could feel internal trembling, vibration, even in my head but also arms and legs just about everywhere. I also had many other symptoms including floaters in my eyes, ringing in my ears, exhaustion, muscle twitches and so on. I am now in my 50s and I’m OK. Every now and then I’ll get a symptom when I’m stressed out but now I know how to manage it.
so, before you pull money out, start with the most logical explanation first. You can always get a second opinion. Take care
hi,
its happy to hear that you doing good.were you in any medication on your difficult time?
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will give it a bit longer. Take care.
people have different reactions to medications. I never really found one that worked for me. But that doesn’t mean other people are the same. For me it’s just been so many years that I’ve learned how to adapt so that it doesn’t control my life.
Hi
No, I’ve always tried not to. However I am so worried sometimes I feel I should. Although these forums do help . Thank you .
I have had similar symptoms, internal vibrations/tremors mostly when Im trying to sleepI had full bloodwork done and a brain MRI bc my mom has parkinsons and my dad had a brain tumor so I was freaking out All came back clear. It improves when I dont worry about what it is, which is so difficult bc the more it happens, the more I worry. You are not alone
Hi
Thank you, it does feel worse when I’m stressed or thinking about it. My foot shakes and I feel like I have chemicals in my body!
Hope all good and thanks again
Gosh you sound exactly like me! It feels like tiny bugs under my skin sometimes too! It’s like my body is quivering inside!
I get stiff fingers when i am anxious
