Here we are coming to the end of November and the shakes still continue in the morning. There have been a couple of mornings with no shakes at all. It is hard to know what the difference is. So fustrating. I honestly don't know if taking the lorazepam makes any difference at all. Looking at what "I see", I keep going back to the original problem when the shakes started, the high dose of prescribed flouxetine. I have read that during the sleep pattern, the brain during the REM cycle experiences low to almost dormant serotonin. Then when it comes out of that cycle, the serotonin starts to "fire up". Is it possible that there has been some type of damage to nerves in the brain, and that depending on how he comes out of that cycle, shaking may or may not occur? Looking for answers. I don't know if there are any truthful answers except, they just don't know what is causing the shaking.
The other thing that Bob is dealing with is pain in his hands and shoulders. The hand/joint pain started at the end of September and one pharmacist that I spoke with told me it was a reaction to the meds. It makes sense, but no one else is making that same statement. Confused.
Bob is trying to work, which is great in many ways. I just know he is exhausted and in pain.
Praying for healing.
