Members widely validated the experience of hand tremors and internal body shaking as part of fibromyalgia, with many describing similar symptoms that ranged from occasional hand tremors to full-body sensations resembling seizures. Several members shared practical strategies and causes they discovered, including adjusting to new medications, managing blood sugar dips with afternoon snacks, practicing yoga breathing to reduce anxiety during episodes, and taking medications like Requip for restless leg syndrome that sometimes accompanies the tremors. A recurring theme was the importance of consulting with a doctor to rule out medication side effects or other underlying causes while also finding reassurance in knowing these frightening symptoms are commonly shared within the fibromyalgia community.

I also take medication for RLS which helps. The meds they give me are ones that they also give for Parkinson's I cannot remember what they are called off the top of my head but when I can I will have a look x

Good morning ...I did have this in the beginning with the meds getting used to them and when ever the medication changes I do get it my hands shake and I feel a bit off balance.. that is how my body reacts to some meds in the beginning only I would wake up in the morning and my body would be trembling and I was not cold ...
but I don't shake anymore just jump in my sleep sometimes only because my legs jump and wake me up..
I would consult with your Dr. to see if any meds you are taking is causing this new symptom.
have a great day!!
