Tremors after pulling weeds

Does anyone else get these awful shakes after you've done just a small amount of physical work or activity?

I just cut a few weeds and I'm shaking all over... especially my hands. How do you overcome this one??

This happens to me all the time! It's just the MS making itself known! Like me, you have to realize that you can't do things like you used to. You have to do just a little, stop, and continue another day. Sometimes it will take me days to finish something that should only take a few hours! Damn MS!!!

I do it too, when ever I have done too much, for too long. Easy does keeps you doing things longer. But damm I hate to stop. Lol

Yes, sounds like you overheated your system. Oddly, the research I've read explains that we need to push forward gradually, although progressively. Our nerves, when things like MS are blocking them, root around and find new pathways. That's what I've read and believe.

I used to get small tremors. I was given a small dose of propranolol at 10 mg and it worked to alleviate them. It is used in high doses for high blood pressure. But in small doses, it works for tremors. It worked for me. I started getting too low blood pressure from several drugs I was taking and I eliminated the drug. But the tremors did not return when I stopped. So I am happy about that.

Hope you can find something that works for you as well. Best of luck.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
