Hello Ronnie46, 

I am sorry to hear about what happened to your husband. It must have been frightening for you to watch. It's good that the morphine and paracetamol worked and the shaking stopped but I think it would be a good idea to give your husband's consultant/specialist a call and asking what might have caused this and whether they have any advice on what to do if it happens again. 

I hope that you will hear from others here who have experienced the same thing and that they will share their story with you. 

Best wishes,

Hi there

sorry to hear about ur husband

I never experienced this in treatment but six months after radiotherapy it started shaking and also cold hands and feet 

out the blue mine has been put down too anxiety and panic depression 

and put on propanalol and sertraline 

the propanalol seems to keep the shaking under control 

I seen a thread some where on this site if u type in search shaking u may find it 

there's was somthing completely different to do with meds I think 

worth looking and checking out hope ur hubby feeling better and keep u keep us all posted good luck 

My husband has IPF, he was diagnosed thie year after two years of breathing problems.

yesterday we went to garden centre and so suddenley he started shaking and was extremely cold.

The shaking was so bad he couldnt even have a drink.

We rang for an ambulance as his condition was so extreme, but eventuall as they didnt arrive we managed to get him home and wrap him up to keep warm.

This went infor a couple of hours and by the time the paramedics arrived he had settled down.

Nothing was found wrong, exceot his temperatutpre was a bit higher than normal.

They said take paracetamol. He felt sick the rest of the day.

someone said to me it could be caused by going from a warm place out  in the cold and then in a warm place. With lung disease, thid can be the case possibly.

Sorry to hear of your husbands illness, perhaps it affected him similarly. Xx
