I have never done that or heard of anyone doing that with fibro. How is your BP? I would for sure tell your doctor about this. Hope that the shaking stops soon.

Google "tremor" and see if you find anything that describes what's happening.

That's not normally something you'd see with fibromyalgia but it's definitely a symptom that needs evaluation.

I have what's called an "intention" tremor when I tighten my right hand to lift even a coffee cup, but it's not related to fibromyalgia, it's just my personal weirdness. Mine happens to fall under the category of "essential tremor" and is unrelated to any underlying illness.

Some tremors are symptomatic of something else, some just "are," but that's something only a doctor can help you figure out.

You said "no new meds for two months" - does that mean you started something new about 8 weeks ago? Some meds take 6 to 8 weeks to take full effects.

Hand tremors can be symptoms of very serious side effects sometimes seen with some anti-depressants, anti-seizure, etc meds (the kinds of things that tend to be adjusted and used for Fibro.) Hopefully it's nothing, but new and unusual tremors are something you want to immediately report to your doctor if you're on that kind of med.

I don't want to freak you out- tremors can be caused by all sorts of things, including anxiety, fatigue, probably the fibro just doing its thing- but I know too many people who have permanent disabilities resulting from side-effects of meds, so I'm of the opinion that it's better to check than ignore.

That's three votes for "tell your doctor." Please let us know what you learn.

my hands literraly shake all the time.done that since i was young.my rheumy is concerned and checking it out.maddie.

I think you should tell your doctor too. I have muscle twitches in hands but not tremors. I do when I get very anxious I do have a bit of shakiness in hands but I know that from my over use of hands. Are you on new meds even not something to tell doctor about.

You stated it starts mid morning, so it's not constant which seems to indicate it is not nerve damage (at least not yet) but tied to something you are doing- medication, stress, a change in diet or life style etc.

If you change your arm position does it change the degree of shaking?

Of course I'm not a med. doc, just thinking of distinctions you should discuss with your doc. Also talk to your pharmacist about known side effects and interaction effects of drugs. Sometimes adverse reactions to a med are very delayed in on set. (Years ago I took Robaxin for 4 months before it started screwing up my heart. If I had kept taking it, it might have been fatal.)

Vote #6 for getting it checked out by someone w/ specialized knowledge.

Hugs to you. I hope you get more clarity soon. And I especially hope your shaking just goes away.

My hands have been shaking for a while too.....blood sugar fine and all other blood work showed nothing out of the ordinary. Have wondered if it was a new sympton also.

My head shakes a bit, I think i'm that actress: who plays with Spencer Tracy, Hepburn, and it might be age or just weakness. I'm 71 now, no spring chicken. This disease has had me baffled all my life, I've lost jobs because of poor health, friends, and my first marriage didn't do too well either.

Now I just try to get through the day by day troubles. I'm tired, irritable, and depressed from losing my eldest boy. I never imagined life would be this hard, I must have been so naive. Once you lose your health, each day is a challenge. I remember being too tired as a child even. I didn't know that embry boards didn't hurt everyone else.
