Shaking

This has been going on for much time now, but rarely. Sometimes I start feeling a bit weird, like all my muscles are becoming almost powerless. I can't stand without my legs shaking, I try to pick up something and the heavier it is the more my arm shakes and stuff like that. It usually goes away a couple of minutes later, and without being sure I think that having something to eat helps some. What could it be?

    it could be low sugar levels. i get that with my diabetes some times but its not just diabetics that than can experience low blood sugars.
    maybe you are just not eating enough throughout the day.
    go see your doc and get it checked.

    I was afraid it's that, because eating something sweet helps more. But, well, they'd need to take blood to see that, right? I don't think I can do that...

    Veins of steel? or the old phobia of needles?

    they can test for low blood sugars with a little finger prick test. i do them every day, its not sore, honest!

    I hope I can find doctors who'll do that... and yes, it's the old needle thing, but if I understand exactly what this finger thing is I'll barely have time to think about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I'll see if I can go to a medical center tomorrow. Hopefully they can do that there.
    Last time someone tried to pierce me with a syringe, he had to chase me around the room and then pin me to the floor. Sure, I was 10, but I don't think it would be much different now. Except there won't be crying but swearing.
