← Return to Thyroid? Or something else? Constant internal shakiness

Hi I also have internal shakiness but I call it electricity. Not sure if we have the same symptom. I have it in my legs (calves) bad and over the last few years in my hands. It gets much worse if I don't sleep well. I also need pain killers for it as the vibrations don't stop and the shakiness is also painful after I start feeling it for 5 minutes. Nothing else has helped me. I am also hypothyroid. It was also spreading to the bottom of my lumbar. I had that for a week and I did read on line that there is not enough calcium in your body and the nerves are not connecting and can cause this tremor. This person recommended taking Tums - since I was desperate for it not to be in another spot in my body I did take Tums , the first 2 weeks every day just 2 or 3 at the most. And believe it or not that stopped the vibrations in my lower back. Who knows? I now take Tums about 3 or 4 times a week to make sure, if they are helping to stop this weird electricity, that I have enough calcium in my system. Maybe it is part of a calcium issue? NO dr. in 20 years has any idea why this happened but it happened to me at the exact same time my thyroid went. I am sorry that this is going on at only 28, but maybe the Tums might help you.

Have they tested your calcium levels? Calcium is necessary for the movement of the muscles, including your heart (which is a muscle). Without enough calcium your heart can stop...

Hi I was also plagued with this type of shock in my head and chest which kept me awake most of the night. After reading what you wrote about calcium I decided to give it a go. Within 2-3 days this 'shocking had more or less disappeared as had the horrible pain and restlessness in my legs. For the past 6 months I've been sleeping like a log and actually feel better now than I've done in the last 10 years. Many thanks to you.

My 36 year-old son has an autoimmune disorder caused by high levels of mold at his father’s house that started years ago and is still not remediated! He’s been living with me to get out of the mold for 2 years. He hates it here, but I’m retired and can take care of him. He complains of vibrations and shakiness all the time, among a plethora of other things. It’s heartbreaking. I had it before, but his isn’t going away, and was exacerbated by Covid which seemed to start his entire body on fire, or something. I’m going to follow the Covid recovery group.
