Hello my name is Dawn. I have recently been diagnosed with Hashimotos Toxicosis. When my thyroid went hyper I had tremors extremly bad. I couldnt even hold a spoon without my food falling out of it. My handwriting was horrible. I was wondering why my thyroid kept going hypo and hyper it is because I have both genes. Thank you and god bless everyone. Smile

I have hashimoto's thyroiditis (hypo) and have been on meds for 19 years. I don't remember tremors back then unless i waited too long to eat. My tremors began about 1.5 years ago...

I have Hashimoto's also. When I received my dx I was told I was a little strange since I had symptoms of both hypo and hyper. I received the Hashimoto's dx after my fibromyalgia dx which happened when I was around 40 years old. I've had ET since I was a child. The tremor has gotten worse over the last few years and is more bothersome than ever. I'm trying out a new med so we'll see how that goes.
