I have fibromyalgia, and many of your symptoms sound familiar . The uncontrolled shaking, though, sounds like something more is going on. \n\nI do experience uncontrolled shivering sometimes, especially after extreme stress - like going into shock. That's definitely not a daily thing, though. My hands shake just about all the time, but I wouldn't call that "uncontrolled shaking."\n\nHow long have you experienced these symptoms? Have you been to your general practitioner? Please, make an appointment to see a doctor as soon as possible if you haven't already done so.\n\nFibromyalgia is a diagnosis of exclusion, of course, so it wouldn't be made 'til everything else was ruled out. Rheumatoid arthritis will show up on tests.\n\nGood luck!

I know this is easier said then done, but I wouldn't worry about it just yet.  Ive had mine for 3 years now and I'm 32 and your body does go through changes all the time.  Just take a deep breath and relax and if things don't change in a week or so, then call a doctor.  I'm a Paramedic and a woman, so just tryin to help 8-)

Dr. Drew on LOve Line says that it is probably normal muscle spasms..........i have experienced this once or twice myself and , yes, it is weird! try massaging them a little when it happens.

You could try Weight Watchers.  I have the same problem you do and I, too got a rude response from mr.green619.  Don't listen to people like him.  He is probably some loner who works out obsessively by himself and spends his time online announcing how fit he is and putting down others.  He advocates running, which most physical therapists don't recommend at all because it is so hard on joints.  This guy will be 40 something laying in a hospital bed after joint replacement with no visitors because he is such an arrogant, uncompassionate person.  His biceps are probably vastly bigger than his brain.  His self esteem is way lower than yours, I can tell you that, because you and I are willing to post honest questions about ourselves without shame and he has not asked one question about himself, he's too scared.  Instead, he boosts his microscopic self esteem by putting down others who suffer from one of the most common diseases in America.  GO GET A REAL LIFE MR GREEN619.

I wonder that you haven't taken an appointment with your doctor, yet!\nThis is an alteration to the hormonal balance of your body.\nI don't know how old are you but in any case your doc will prescribe you a series of exams to do and find out what's the problem. In the meanwhile try to be quiet, as anxiety will agravate the situation.\n\n*EDIT*\n\nYou didn't come back to give any additional information, so I thought that it will useful for you to have a look to the following site\nhttp://womenshealth.aetna.com/WH/ihtWH/r.WSIHW000/st.41823/t.42853.html\nThere are a lot of sites in the internet that you can visit and educate yourself, this is a valid one and you can explore it. \nSee also what are the Recommended health screenings and prevention steps for your age and then get an appointment with a phycisian who will prescribe to you all the necessary tests to do and SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.\n\nKaterina

I have the same problem.  Doctor says it is caused by a lack of potassium, calcium, and not enough hydration.  I started eating a banana just before bedtime, and I make myself drink more water and Gatorade throughout the day, and I am not having those twitchy leg problems at night anymore.

Drugs of almost any kind, alcohol, and smoking can all cause physical tremors.\nIf you aren't taking any of these, then it could simply be that you're just 13.  A lot of things are changing in your body as it goes through puberty (which can start as early as 10 and can last until you're 17 or 18).\nThat can include pain in the joints, aches in your legs and back, twitches in the larger muscles, and shaking.\n\nYou say you're nervous.  Do you mean that you are emotionally nervous about something?  Or do you say you're nervous because your body is shaking?  In other words, which comes first?\nIf its emotional, you need to talk to an older person you trust.  Discuss what's up, what you're worried about.\n\nAnd next time you see your doctor, have him check things out to be sure you're physically okay.  Could be you need some vitamins (most teens eat nothing but junk food and that has nothing good in it to help your body deal with puberty and grow up healthy).\n\nAnd if it helps, every girl goes through anxiety and worry during their teens, and it's usually fine.

Test your pulse rate while standing see how fast it is if it's greatly different to sitting then maybe\n\nif your veins on your arms standout at sometimes for no reason (ie. exercise) and stay that way for a period of time maybe.\n\nIf your diet contains a lot of salt (ready meals contain lots) then maybe\n\nThis is begining to sound like a Jeff Foxworthy are you a redneck joke :)\n\nWhat ever it is with your symptons I should go see a doctor\nor try searchin online for a symptom web site if you don't have the time... but if it leads to anything you're gonna have to go to doctors eventually... sooner is better

It could be a pinched nerve... or just plain muscle spasms. I would suggest you go see a doctor so he can tell you what's really wrong! They're the reason they're there!

My feet are getting heavy, and I've lost feeling in my toes. What is that odd sensation in my stomach - like rocks weighing heavily?? My back is stiff, so I try to move. Man, my feet are heavy. I move my legs and it's as if someone  tied cement blocks to them. A creeping sensation moves up my legs, and I stop trying to move them. \nMy eyes hurt. My head feels stiff, as if my skin is crunchy. I try to call out, but my mouth doesn;t want to move - like I am wearing a clay mask and it has dried. What is happenieng to me? My fingers are stiffening, and I am now numb to the waist. I can't move my legs!!  I try to scream, but my vocal cords are too frozen. My nose is numb.  My breasts are starting to feel heavy as lead, and I can hardly hold up my head. The numbness creeps downward, and my fingers are like bananas as I try to type. IO amn makl[oing so manny typpos .. I cannnottr type wellllll,... I cannnt breeeaathe .. sdhfgsdajklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

/Get check for Parkinsons and Lupus.  I have personally seen someone who was diagnosed for MS, but her movements look more like Parkinson's.\nRN

If you mouse a lot or have other repetitive motions, this is a sign that your muscles and tendons may be overstrained.  Please see a doctor asap for medical treatment.  I waited too long and....OUCH!

Most Dr. say the avarage should run between 80 to 180 if you are below 80 you get what my family calls weak trembles. (Eat a small spoon of sugar to get it up quick then eat a meal, sandwhich, fruit and veg) If you get above 180 you are too high best thing to do then is to drink lots of water, and take your insulin which your Dr. should have set your amounts at and eat a small orange or something so you don't drop to far. Diabietes is very tricky. My oldest has had it from the time she was 10, she is 22 now. My daughter wants me to add when you are high drink 8 oz glasses of water every 30 min. It also depends on your Dr as what your blood sugars are. Type 1 and Type 2 carry different sugar levels.

Althought many doctors are still skeptical and there is no definitive test, the symptoms and the fact that your doctor says its post viral indicate he may think it is Chronic Fatigue Syndrom, also known as ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), PVFS (Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome) or CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Imune Dysfunction Syndrome).  Go back to your doctor, get clarification, if this is what you have, you are lucky you got diagnosed early.  You will need to mainly do your own research and find a doctor who is sympathetic rather than skeptical.  You will have to learn to pace yourself and limit yourself to what you can do before you get tired.  There is still so much unknown about this.  Ihave had it at least 12 years, the last 8 so severely I am often bedbound, but was only diagnosed last year.  I have a friend who had it mild to moderately and has made a full recovery, though it took her four years.  If your doctor says rest, he aint kidding.  Ask him to refer you to a specialist in this condition, not just a neurologist.

I'd go see a doctor.  Could be an involuntary response with muscles tightening up.  Could be infection, yeast or others.
