Shaking hands "tremor"


Johny-Cage

Recommended Posts

Johny-Cage Newbie

Hello,

my mother (67), suffers years of hypofunction of the thyroid gland. Six months ago, celiac disease was diagnosed. She has a diet for about 5 months. She sometimes shakes her hand. We have to worry about Parkinson, or there is a link with celiac disease? My mother is very moving and is going a few miles every day. Thank you for your feedback and your time.

There are lots of reasons for shaking hands.  What does the doctor say?

While it could be related to celiac disease or it could be the start of Parkinson’s, it might be a simple palsy.  This hand shaking happens in my family.  It has for generations.    It affects some others in my family differently.  They shake their heads.  We call it  “Bobble Head Syndrome” , not sure that is the medical term.  Best to have your mother checked by a doctor.

Tremors can be caused by vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamins B 12, B1, B6, Vitamin E and magnesium are important to nerve and muscle function.  Many vitamins are often low in newly diagnosed Celiacs.  B12 absorption is less efficient as we age.  Your mother might benefit by getting checked for nutritional deficiencies.

Hope this helps.

Johny_Cage,

I didn't see where knitty kitty mentioned B-3.  It is best to take it as the non-flushing Niacinmaide form with each meal. It usually take 3 months to notice an improvement often when taking B-Vitamins because it takes that long to fill up the liver where we store most of our B-vitamins.

see this link about B-vitamins and depression entitle *B*  "Vitamin supplementation for 1 year improves mood.

Also see this article from nutraindgreidents about ow some Parkinson disease can be helped with Niacinamide supplementation.

they note it might only work in specific parkinson patients but it might be worth trying.

You might try a homoecysteine tablet too or taking a b-complex has the same b-vitamins found in a homecycysteine tablet.

there are making break throughs every day (literally) see the new research on PD and intense exercise. 

Hang in there.  There is more hope than ever.

Here is the latest research on Parkinson's disease and intense exercise from the NYtimes.

***this is not medical advice but I hope it helps you to know headway is being made on Parkinson disease if your mom is having tremours and you suspect PD.

my heart goes out to you -- my mom had dementia and suspected but never confirmed alzheimer's.

Again I hope this is helpful.

posterboy by the grace of God,

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Sams club membermark columbian coffee is either cross contaminated or the pods contain gluten

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
