Hi Ladies,
Thank you again for answering my repeated questions. I am wondering if anyone else experiences trembling or shaking.
Thanks again,
Kelly

    If I am tired or try to do too much
    I get weak and trembly. I also have a hard time keeping warm when I am in bed even though I have flannel sheets, thermal blanket and two quilts. Last night I had to get up and put some socks on because my feet were like ice. Then at times I put the blankets back because I feel warm. That only happens about once a night. It doesn't last long before I am cold again. It is not hot flashes. I know what those are like.

    Feet get cold
    Hi Kelly,

    I have not had the shaking but my feet sure do get cold at night sometimes and I have to wear socks. Then they get warm and I have to pull them off. One thing I have been experiencing is chills. I will just get a chill that will come over my whole body. Then it is gone. I have had this happening to me a long time.

    If I haven't eaten regulary,
    If I haven't eaten regulary, esp. if I have shorted myself on protein. Overall, during chemo I found myself feeling much colder than usual. I usually have pretty heavy sweater on, or several lighter layers. Didn't experience that prior to chemo...used to dress very lightly and have heat in my house down very low.

    Shakes
    Kelly,

    I also get very trembley at times. sometimes for no reason at all. I'll just be going along in my day and then all of a sudden i get the shakes and feel weak in the legs.I haven't had chemo for 8 months now. I also get that way if I am tired. Once i start shaking like that, i also get cold. Cold to the bone, like I have been standing in a freezer or something.When that happens, the only way for me to feel better is to take a hot bath and get some sleep. I have no idea what it is or why it happens. maybe it's another menopause symptom? hope this helps. :)

    Yes!
    I had that a lot especially when I was on cisplatin. I used to tell my husband the same thing. "I feel like I am trembling inside, like an internal shiver." It was a very strange feeling. I was also chilly when no one else was, and had to wear more layers, and drank a lot of green tea.

    Shaking
    Hi Kelly
    I used to get the 'shakes' terribly following chemo. It was like my whole body was shaking from inside out - very odd. The shakes usually started about day 2/3 and lasted for 24 hours. I finished chemo in mid December and haven't had the shakes since.
