Hi just wondered if anyone has experienced shaking throughout their whole body

I started a few days ago now & it hasn't stopped

It's like a body tremor

    Hi Brummie

    I suggest if you don't think you are coming down with flu ,no brained

    Straight to the doctor to have it checked, I am getting a lot of things

    I am attributing to hemochromatosis & venesection,

    But it might be nothing to do with it ,so I either go to my GP or phone

    The hemochromatosis society for advice.

    Cheers philx

      Thank you philx

      I will phone the haemochromotosis soceity for advice

      As I've got a normal cold & have been to my GP but she had said the shaking wasn't linked to the cold & said if it carried on tonight to go the hospital

      But I don't see it as an emergency

      Hope your doing well with your treatment

      Thank you

    Hi Brummiegirl

    Yes, I get shaking throughout my body.  It feels like I am vibrating from deep inside my body, a very wierd sensation.  I have noticed that it seems to happen when I have been in one position for a long time, mostly when I am travelling on long journeys.  The vibrating lasts for several hours afterwards.

    I also get tingling in feet, legs and hands, not constant but intermittently.  I am wondering if the damage to the bones, joints from iron overload is the cause.  My doctor is currently investigating the cause. 

    I hope you manage to get it sorted out.

    Marie

      Hi Marie ,

      That sounds exactly what I'm getting

      It's very frustrating ESP when you can't control it

      I've got my hospital appointment first week in December so hopefully I'll find out a lot more

      With all my symptoms to see if they are all to do with the HM

      The shaking you've described is exactly how it feels & I get it all over

      I can't even keep my hands still .

      I hope you get yours sorted soon as know how it can affect you

      Good luck & thank you

    Yes, It is a known side effect. Also anyone can shake if their electrolytes are out of whack try hydrolyte or electrolyte drinks to see if that helps.
