Body shaking uncontrollably

Almost sounds like you might be coming down with the flu. You got all the symptoms.
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in bed, take a fever reducer and relax. It could be 24 hour or 48 hour. I just don't want you electolites going down so please get some gator aid or something with sodium, potassium etc in it to keep you hydrated. This is just something that will have to run it's course if that is what it is. Sounds like it.

Be Well,
Carrie

Hi Carrie, and thank you for your reply. I would have thought it to be the flu but my whole body was shaking, like a muscle spasm (sorry I didn't explain it properly earlier). Anyway, I went to my doctor today and he reckons it could be an allergic reaction to food that I had eaten last night, or something new in my diet as in Udo's Oil. So he has given me a perscription for antihistamines for 1 a day for 5 days. See how that goes, but I still feel very weak and it frightened me so much.

With love & light

Wow, well I was going to say the flu too. But I'm glad you kinda have it figured out. It will take a few days for it to clear your system. Like Ms. Carrie said, drink lots fluids...that will help flush it out more quickly. I hope you feel better!

Hi all, and thanks for replies. Just to say I am on my second day of the antihistimines (sorry for spelling), and my breathing seems to be still very high, like kind of tight. I have never really experienced anything like this before, it is almost like when I take a deep breath in, it won't go very far and feels kind of weird almost ticklish and tight!!! Anybody ever experience this before??

P.s. sorry for all the questions.

You have to be careful. You might want to call your doctor back. Those chest symtoms could be anything. You may need to be on an antibiotic for this. Could be a couple of things, worse case senario being a touch of pneumonia. I would call you GP back this morning.

Carrie

do you feel like you are congested? Because I think if it was pneumonia or anything like that you would have cold like syptoms. I have had the uncontrollable shking happen to me before. It usually happens to me when ihavea bad bout of IBS or when I have one of my fainting spells. It seems like it has something to do with a drop in blood pressure, but I am not sure. It could even be anxiety related. It happens a lot to me after I have a fainting spell and I think I give myself an anxiety attack after the faiting happens because I go into panic mode.

Hi all again,

It is only 2 days since I visited the doc about the shaking eposode, and the antihistimines seem to be working with the breathing, as I am beginning to be able to take in a better breath than I was, still not fully back to normal but I guess it will have to take time. My head still hurts a good bit, so I am taking solpadeine for them (paracetimal). The only thing that is still annoying me is that I seem to have a little phlegm any time I cough, up high in my chest area and when I look down my whole back of my neck and shoulders feel very sore and strained. I seriously think that I must have pulled a muscle in my neck or shoulders due to all the shaking, and am wondering if I should or even can take anti-inflamotorys to see if that will help, but I don't know if you can mix them with anti-histimines, so I guess the best thing really to do would be to go back and make another appointment with my doctor again tomorrow. I will let you all know how I get on, and thank you so much for all your help and advice along the way you are all great!!!

You can check with your doctor, but I think you can take ibuprofen with the meds you are taking.

To Mominashoe,

Hi, you are so right in what you have said above, as I actually rang my doctor's office to make an apt this morning and he actually answered the phone, and I explained my symptoms to him and he said that it sounds like I have pulled a muscle in my neck and back, hence the pain and strains that I am feeling, so he suggested some nurofen to me which is ibrofen, so you were spot on, thank you so much you advice is just as good as my doctors and so very percise. I have taken the ibrofen, and will wait to see how I feel, still feel quite sick and breathing still quite high up in the throat, but doc said give it a few days. We are supposed to be bringing our kids to the zoo and a picnic tomorrow morning, see how I feel, anyway, it may be the best thing for me, at least I won't be sitting around just dwelling and focussing on how I am feeling and I will get plenty of fresh air too.

Take care,
Tamika
