Internal vibrations: Anyone else experiencing this?

Posted by mbryant1380 @mbryant1380, Dec 16, 2023

Anyone else have what feels like internal vibrations, your shaking on the inside but no one can see it from the outside?
Would also like to hear from people who are experiencing this and have discussed this with Long Covid Program providers. And have they given any insight on the cause.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

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 was put on anxiety meds, but I don’t like how I feel and now I hum and it helps tremendously. Yes humming helps. Of course, meditation
Our autonomic nervous system is upside down.

When my symptoms were really bad I shook but it was visible. I couldn't control my body, I was trembling like a person with Parkinsons but it wasn't daily and they appeared suddenly lasting maybe around 10 or 15 minutes and then going away.

I have had this, plus facial tics, for a long time. I spoke to all my doctors about it. At the UNC LC Clinic, I was told this is common for LC patients but, of course, nobody knows what to do about it. I’ve had one gaslighting schmuck rheumatologist diagnose it as ‘hysterical woman’. My neurologist checked me for Parkinson’s and wanted to get an MRI, but insurance wouldn’t pay. If I take Valium, it calms it down a bit, but who wants to take Valium?

I had this happen, but it has gradually faded. Some LC symptoms have not.

I was told an anxiety as well. Try humming every time you feel internal tremors it really helps me and perhaps it can help you.

I do but they start up again as soon as I stop. And as soon as I fall asleep I wake to them. Tremors, vibrations, like a motor is running. Impossible to sleep now. Without Ambien every time I fall asleep I get brain zaps. LDN? Gabapentin? I've been prescribed too many meds by too many doctors and can't wait to see a Mayo one when I move to AZ.

It does help but then I fall asleep and wake to it over and over, hum, sleep, buzzing...

Mine are one of my least bothersome LC symptoms. Coming usually as I'm waking from sleep. If I get up by using my arms to lift myself, with arms shaking uncontrollably, my husband says it feels like a quarter has been put in a motel bed vibrating machine.
