I don't think it's from a lack of sugar, since I've had two cups of coffee today already and I like sugar with my coffee. But I can't be sure. I'll go and see the doctor as soon as I can.
Lemex - if the tremors are in the muscle, that can be caused by certain vitamin deficiencies. So that's one thing to look at given your dietary changes. There are a lot of other things that can cause something like that, but given the coincidence of your dietary changes that would be the first thing I looked at. Are you taking any kind of vitamin supplement?
I'm not taking any vitamins. The tremors are in the muscle though. What would that mean if was vitamin deficiency?
I can't recall offhand what vitamins and/or mineral deficiencies are most likely to cause something like that. And I want to stress that I'm just throwing that out there as a possibility and that is no substitute for having it checked out. I believe that some B vitamin deficiencies can cause that reaction by the muscle. I'm sure there are others as well. I'd take a good look at the food you are taking in, particularly since your intake is limited on the diet, and make sure you're getting enough variety to meet your nutritional needs. You could also try a vitamin supplement to see if that has any effect on the symptoms, but honestly you are much better off taking in the right balance of foods to provide those vitamins than taking a supplement.
You know that no advice on here is going to be a substitute for seeing a qualified medical practitioner, don't you? So go and see a qualified medical practitioner! It might be nothing to worry about, or it might be something to worry about, and you need a professional examination to decide which it is. That said, if your diet has cut out meat and dairy, watch your vitamin B12 intake; deficiency can cause parasthesia, and this might a form of that. Vegans often take dietary supplements to keep the B12 level up or select foods fortified with B12.
I don't think it's an urgent thing, so I would go for a routine appointment. But I am not a medical professional, so what I think on the subject isn't worth much.
Hmm, I have no idea about this. I think the best bet, like others have suggested, is go and see your doctor. I don't imagine it'd be urgent enough for A&E but I'd try and get a doctor's appointment as soon as you can just in case. Hope it's nothing serious.
Hmmm, that does sound a bit concerning, Lemex! I don't think it's something you worry too much about, but I would definitely recommend seeing a doctor just for a check up and some advice. Losing weight can be a little tricky, especially when taking a supplement. Since everyone's body is different, a doctor can help you figure out a method that's the best fit for you, and provides your body with everything it needs in the process. Best of luck. Keep us updated on how things go?
My friend gave me one of those letter challenges on Facebook today. The challenge was this: My letter is: Æ by -Admin's Friend- Something I love: Something I hate: Some place I want to visit: Someone's name: I figured I could use both the English short e sound and the Latin long i sound for this challenge, and of course something I love would be Ænima 1996.
If you've increased activity and at the same time cut down on calories all within two weeks, you could have just overdone it. You shouldn't really be seeing such a significant change so soon. Most of the advice I've read regarding diets (been there too many times to count) and excercise (been there too) has any excercise and diet regime starting gradually. It's a bit of a shock to your body to increase its activity levels at the same time as reducing its energy input which is why moderation is essential. If you've been doing upper body workout you may have caused a weakness by overdoing it. Thin arms after only two weeks sounds like that's a possibility. However, coincidences can happen and the vibrating you describe is not really normal. Try phoning NHS direct for advice and look on the NHS website for similar syptoms and advice. Failing that have a word with Doc. . He'll be in better position to judge once he knows your starting weight, current weight, excercise levels and calorie intake. Better deal with it now and hopefully the only advice you'll need is to follow a less rigid excersie programme and a sensible diet.
@ Lemex, I think it would be wise to see the doc. I imagine it's related to overdoing it with the diet/exercise but I'm not a doctor. So I think it's good you're going to see one.
Been to see the doctor. She says it was because of too much Caffeine in my diet, and that I should not drink as much coffee as I do. Nothing to worry about. Thanks for everyone's comments and advice.
How long should you grieve? I ask this question because a lot of people seem rather annoyed that I cannot seem to let go. They happily move on with their lives and I cannot. They think 6 months is plenty of time to move on. How should one feel when no one takes your efforts into consideration? I am doing everything I can possibly try to do to get back on track. I am now going to college. And am now going out to social events. I am not always locked inside my own room, despite the fact of taking the path of a writer, and and am even starting to build my own mini garden. We don't have much room. But I am trying. No one seems to think this is good enough. They feel I should be doing something bigger and much grander. What must I do to please them? Or at least show for the most part that I am getting myself into gear? Is what I am doing not enough? It's not fair for them to keep dangling my darkest past in front of me. It feels as if they are mocking me or insulting me. I am trying. But keep being dragged down by the chains that linger in the shadows of my past. If people want me to move on, shouldn't they stop using it against me?
It's normal for some to grieve for years. But I suggest that if you are really worried about it then I'd consult a psychologist, or at least try to talk it out with an outside party first. No one should hold it against you though. People react in a vast number of ways.
Tut, caffeine addict. Good it wasn't serious though. People deal with grief in different ways and for different lengths of time. Some can move on more quickly than others. Perhaps you should talk to someone about this. Possibly the people concerned if you can manage it, or to a professional. But you're trying and that's all you can do.
People should shut up about it. I might understand if it had been 6 years, but even then, it's something that happened to you, and you need to grieve for as long as it takes. I mean, seriously, it's been six months since I broke up with my boyfriend (which we both didn't want, but due to circumstances we didn't really have a choice) and it's still not easy. I spoke about it with a friend the other day and she found it weird that I wasn't interested in dating someone else yet. It's just because other people can't understand how you feel, or because they'd do it differently. But you shouldn't really care what they think. Let it think as long as you want, till you really do feel better, because that moment will come, even though you don't see it yet now.
100% agree with this. If it's something that you feel is a problem, then I would consider talking to someone about it, but if it's other people telling you that they don't think you're healing fast enough, then they should probably just shut the hell up. Everyone has a different grieving process, everyone heals differently, and no one should tell you that you're not recovering quickly enough.
@ Lemex, Good to hear! @J.P.Clyde, everyone is different. I don't believe there is any set time for how long one should grieve. It's best to let yourself feel things and not bottle them. I'm sorry others in your life aren't respecting that need.
The whole balance of work and school for me (now that school has started) is a win-lose situation, it seems. Either I have lots of work with school (con) which provides a larger check (win), or very little work (win) with a small check (con). That, and when I have vacation time, like Spring Break, I'll probably have to spend it working, which is just ugh. Just a bit of a complaint or a rant, I guess, but it's something that seems like I can never find the perfect balance anymore.
Hi I have cataclysmic problems, having to move house due to a regeneration project, deal with my recently late fathers estate and my benefits are being stopped. but the one that I want to look at is how to get my childhood invisible writing arm back. I wonder if any one else has had or does possess this phenomenon. Thinking about hypnosis. I read orwell's Why I write and that gave me some answers but I am sad at the loss and angry at the education system and English teachers that 1. failed to impart with any knowledge of literature, and how to write and 2 who could cause such damage. If I could go back in time I would tell my fifteen year old self, English teachers can but wont teach you how to write, only the masters who have written can, read the people who have already done it, Orwell, DH Lawrence, Jane Austin. Theraputic rant over apologies any help.
