Forgot to add, seems that people are suggesting that ditching caffeine helps. I guess I can see why, but it always seems to have helped me in small doses. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about going overboard. Just a mug of coffee or whatever.

It's more the sugar that seems to help take away the shakes. Just last night I threw most of it straight back up!

That's another slightly odd thing...

I've always struggled with sleep, never been a great sleeper. Again, that seemed to have improved over the past couple of years, but I've been quite bad with it again just lately. I tried a few things out from good advice I was given, and it worked pretty well, although still had the odd rough night, but generally I've only had a couple of bad nights over the last few weeks. The night before last was really bad. The first bad night I'd had in about 2 weeks. Then last night I was fearing that I was going to have a really bad night and get no sleep whatsoever (lots of sugar and caffeine + literally could not stop shaking, feel sick etc etc etc), yet strangely I slept really well. Didn't struggle at all, and yet when I woke up this morning I was still shaky and sick. Was really odd.

Here we approaching tea time the following day and I'm still feeling the effects. Nothing like what they were last night, but I still have a bit of the shakes, plus does anyone know when you can feel an anxious fluttering in the back of your throat? I have that, and no matter what I do, my mouth tastes horrible! Really salty and totally dry!
