Russ,

I could not determine a pattern so far with the shakes. They seem to come on when I am feeling "toxic". Like there is some build up in my body and the shakes are the peak of this horrible feeling.

I will persist with the banana "experiment" and see if it helps in the long run. Beginning today (this is something I should have done a LONG time ago) I am writing down everything I eat and all the supplements I take to see if there is a trend between good and bad days so I can see what I can do to improve things, and like you said what is chemically causing the shakes. I believe if I do this religiously I will find some trend, it's just a question of taking the time to do it -keeping a journal every day (especially at work) and also to jot down the stress level that day.

Based on that I will try to see if I need more magnesium, potassium or what may be. I have also started using Q10, 30mg starting today. If i can find a homeopath to help me determine what supplements I need, even better.

Once I've been keeping track for a few weeks I will report my progress on the forum so that we can hopefully pin point a possible cause to the shakes and this may help others like Sandra P who have similar experiences, while I try to get additional help.

Thanks again for all your support and suggestions. With your help and the help of this forum I believe I will see this through!
