Like Bonnie, my thought was your sugar level. I have been on a heavy dose of steroids for several months now. Part of taking steroids besides, climbing the walls, not sleeping, cleaning everything and eating everything, is that it has made me temporarily diabetic. I shake if my sugars are too high (more the norm with steroids), and I shake if my sugars are too low (something I only experienced once). The other night I went an financial planning seminar/dinner. I ate chicken and veggies and passed on the pasta and dessert. I had checked my sugar level prior to dinner and taken my insulin as I normally do. I got home and started to shake. I felt like I was about to pass out. I checked my sugar level and for some strange reason, my sugar level was 60. I immediately drank a glass of orange juice and regretted passing up on that chocolate cake at the seminar. My friend is on anti-biotics for lymphadema. She takes them long term and sometimes gets to feeling the same way. It could be a medication you are taking. Keep track of when these tremors occur, including the time of day and when you last ate. I would not let this get by the doc and definitely ask to have your sugar levels checked....
