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 cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
