Addison's Disease Support Group
Addison's disease (also known as chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism) is a rare endocrine disorder. It is estimated that it affects about 1 to 2 in 100,000 people. It occurs when the adrenal glands, seated above the kidneys, fail to produce enough of the hormone cortisol and, sometimes, the hormone aldosterone
Hi Guys!
I haven't been feeling so well, and one of the symptoms, these past few days, has been internal tremors or vibrations, in my legs. One night they even went up into my torso.
So last night, I got ready for bed, was tired and thought I would fall right to sleep, when suddenly I began, not just to tremor, but I would call it a shudder....like a car heavily idling! It was frightening, yet I was so tired, that I just laid there, and finally in a couple of hours, I went to sleep.
I awakened with just light vibrating, and still hve it, this afternoon.
Have any of you experienced this? The only other symptoms I have, are raw inner nostrils, and kind of irritated intestines.
I really HATE being worried all of the time! My lungs are a mess, probably from mold exposure, and I'm always so drowsy, lately. I must care for my elderly dad, it's the dead of Winter, and I feel like things will never get better. Sorry to go off the deep end!
Any input or experiences would be great. Hang in there!

Thanks for the vaseline idea, I will try that. :) I hope you feel better, too!
She has contacted me. I'm sorry I'm replying so late, been sick, but I really appreciate your help. :))

I'm feeling a little better....been using turmeric with my food, and hoping that is helping. Have you tried that? My Indian neighbors got me a bag of 'the good stuff'. I don't know, some are touting it as a cure-all, and others say it is hype.
Have they tested your B12 levels lately? The range is 220-1000 and I was having weird sensations with a level of 240. Once I started the sublingual B12, the disconcerting wavy feelings inside my legs stopped. Mine felt like a wavy river flowing- up and down my muscles, mostly in my legs. I only take a couple B12 a week and my latest level was 700 =)
