Internal vibrations: Anyone else experiencing this?

I too have the internal vibrations. I must say I’ve never had the vaccine. (I am a former pharma rep & I would never take a drug that was so quickly released) I acquired the virus in 2021 and it’s been down the hill from there. My vibrations actually started maybe a year ago and my balance was so off I should’ve gotten a cane, but I just stayed home. I had to quit all my physical activities. I walk very slowly now along with all of the other symptoms everyone speaks about. I’m going to continue to do research because I’ve done it all, as far as doctors. I have been put on an anxiolytic, that helps somewhat, it also makes me very fuzzy. I love waking up in the morning because I don’t have any symptoms, I feel great and as soon as I get out of bed, it all begins. I’m so sorry for all of you. This is so unfair, but know that you are not alone. WE are all in this together. I’m so happy I found this website, I know everyone says it, but at least now I know I’m not crazy. I do believe that the virus has awaken whatever was dormant in our bodies. We have to be really strong and and there are days that I don’t think I can be, which I’m sure that most of you feel that way. Everyone hang in there surely there will be an answer.

I’ve had the stellate ganglion block, but I only had one round & it did not help perhaps you need to do more but it was $500 every time and I just felt that I couldn’t do it, maybe I should have. We have to keep trying though, right?

Did you have the internal vibrations again after you stopped Gabapentin?

This was the first post I saw and it was an OMG moment for me. I thought I was going crazy it feels like my apple watch is embedded in me!

I’m trying to recall how I felt taking the Gabapentin……I felt really good, except my numbness in my feet remained. The burning in my feet stopped, as long as took the med. I recall feeling very content and wondering if I might get addicted to it. I liked it. I didn’t feel anxious and I don’t think I had those intense episodes …..I call them episodes of adrenaline rush. It’s like my insides are so intense and ready to shake. Weak at the same time. I did get them after I stopped the med.

I continued to have the episodes until several weeks ago. I discuss it with my therapist. I also used a technique called ‘tapping” when I felt it coming on. It wasn’t a panic attack. I had those many years ago, but the adrenaline rushes were different. I got these after covid. I hope I’m done with them. My burning has left too! I hope it’s a sign that my other issues will improve as well.

I would take Gabapentin if not for the blurry vision. I just couldn’t. I will try Lyrica though, if my insurance will cover it. They have denied it.

Thank you for your replies to my questions. I haven’t taken anything yet except antihistamine which I read was taken by another long covid sufferer. I don’t really feel any difference. Maybe because I take PPIs for my acid reflux. Apparently, the efficacy of the antihistamine is lessened when you are taking PPIs. I just had acupuncture so we’ll see if there’s any improvement in my symptoms esp. diarrhea and acid reflux. I still have brain fog so I’m scared to drive.

I experienced strong tremors (not associated with fever or chills) in my first covid infection at the start of the pandemic. Occasionally and mild since then. I believe I have long covid.

Yes, it feels like adrenaline rush to me too. I think we all describe it a little differently. It wakes me in the morning very early, and there’s no settling down after that. Then it is random through the day. As all my symptoms go, I suppose for me it is the easiest to tolerate.
Starts in my stomach area and radiates down to my feet, and up to my head before it passes. I thought for sure my adrenal glands were out of whack, but all the tests come back “normal”.
The suggestion for me has been SSRI to handle this and my many, many other symptoms. I have tried eight different ones. They all turn up my tinnitus to intolerable levels.
So......I don’t know.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, with pain and other symptoms starting five days after getting Covid. So I think I might also have some long-Covid issues. I have severe insomnia because I wake after about 4 hrs of sleep and feel like my nerves have awakened, like the "adrenaline rush" you mentioned. You said you are in treatment. Are you taking any medications that help relieve this? Like you, I stay home alot and also feel that my life is passing me by. Thanks.

I have similar symptoms and everything started shortly after I had Covid two years ago. I fall asleep okay (with Trazodone and melatonin) but wake after 4 hrs of sleep and can't go back to sleep. It feels like my nerves are being stimulated, like the shaky feeling you mentioned. Since your post in Dec 2023, have you found anything that helps you? All doctors recommend are the strong sleeping meds that have a sleep waking side effect, which I'm afraid to take.
