Tremor Lyme

I would be inclined to try tyrosine and see if that reduces tremors. As with parkinson's l-dopa is usually used (tyrosine is a precursor).

Do you feel weakness with the shaking? Any other related symptoms? Blood sugar OK?

in case its of interest

i am pretty strong now - not like i was before lyme - but am currently able to walk 3 miles a day at a fast clip and work out with weights for 1hrs a day - so a huge improvement from spending most of my time housebound as i was a few years ago

so i am not cured - but am able to do a lot more physically without getting PEM etc

anyway - with that as context - i do notice that my muscles are still prone to twitching at rest - and will tremble if i try to maintain them in any single position with weights etc

my best guess - i think its mostly likely microcirculation or metabolic dysfunction at the small scale inside the muscles that causes this - eg driven by Bart ( known to drive microcirculation dysfunction as one of its main effects)

you could well imagine that if the microcirculation is compromised then as one stresses the muscles - especially in a continuous fashion - the cells with struggle to get nutrients in and waste out - and will falter- then as one struggles to maintain the position against resistance - some fibres will fail - others will take over - your brain will take care coordinating the of firing the replacements ( we don't normally fire all muscle fibres at one except in absolute maximal exertion) but its not perfect - hence the trembling
this happens in normal people as they approach their limit also

with lyme / bart etc its just more noticeable - sooner - with less stress - as the muscles are in general struggling more from the off

since it happens to many of us - i don't think its necessarily a sign of something more sinister -

hope its of some help

yeah - i don't have much equipment at home - just a few sets of dumbbells
so mainly doing those and some body weight exercises

its enough for now - i do have some weights equipment - but its all in storage from before my house move a few years ago - need to make a space for it before i can get it back

Running Wild,

Didn’t you just do the stem cell treatment and started feeling much worse? This could easily be because of that. There were times in the past when I had similar tremors - especially on the inside. I would also have occasions where my right leg would shake uncontrollably while holding down the brakes when driving. I have also had extreme muscle fatigue without tremors after heavy lifting or exertion. Those symptoms occurred during the low times. They were not a continuous thing for me.

I know talking about toxins isn’t popular with some folks, but the truth is that anything that kills microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) can cause a big increase in the release of various toxic byproducts into the blood stream and digestive tract through bile release.

I would suggest concentrating on balancing electrolytes, supporting adrenal system with ashwaganda or the like, resting, de-stressing, good sleep, nourishing foods, and maybe some binders or Epsom salt baths.

If your body has any difficulty or sluggishness in processing and removing toxins, then those toxic byproducts can continue recirculating for quite some time, triggering symptoms and pain.

TUDCA helped me a lot in this regard. You might want to take molybdenum, also. That is recommended during Candida die-off. It can help reduce suffering from fungal die-off. For me, personally, die-off from fungi and parasites cause the worst symptoms.

Were your tremors caused by toxin release or just part of symptoms of Lyme?

I had internal tremors as part of my initial onset of symptoms, so definitely caused by the infections, though I am not sure which one, as I had no known tick bite. I had it again after I started treatment, so could have been toxins or herxing or suppressed and overwhelmed immune system. I know I had weakness and shaking each time I went through the “unmasking”stage of dealing with mold illness.

I think Dr M the bart guru guy says that internal tremors, vibrating or buzzing sensations are a hallmark sign of bart.

WBF. what is unmasking ?

I had tremors, vibrating and buzzing.
Pretty sure they were Bartonella driven.

I feel some internal, but my hands shake some when I lift something or even hold a oximeter on the end of my finger. If I lift a gallon of tea and hold it out a little, they really shake. Also weak feeling semi-shaky legs. Just not sure if it is Bartonella dysautonomia. Yesterday, one of my daughters and I went to the Expo Titanic in Atlanta, and I had to sit a number of times because my legs felt weak standing, also with tremor feeling.
