Internal vibrations still affecting anyone?
It’s 5:17 a.m. and I’ve been awake for some time because of the crazy internal vibrations still affecting me over two years after my first and worst Covid case. They absolutely terrify me when they start in the middle of the night when I’m asleep. I can never go back to sleep because I always fear they could be “something else.” They’re in my abdomen, chest, legs, etc., and I always think my heart must be racing, but when I take my pulse it’s not. Please, if you have any recommendations, share them. I am still having severe shortness of breath, but only when standing! My vision is blurred but the ophthalmologist can’t find anything wrong. I’ve been tested and tested by the pulmonologist and have even been to UNC’s long covid clinic for testing. They believe my issues, like for other patients, is a neurological problem caused by COVID. Are the vibrations just more of the same? I feel like I have a buzzer going off in my body right now and it’s nights like tonight that I think I’m going crazy. I’m so sick of this! I know that others have more serious problems than mine but this is really affecting my mental health and I’m hoping someone has had success in stopping their own vibrations and can offer suggestions.

What mg of low dose naltrexone have you tried to get it to feel better ? Thanks!
the dose is one 1.5mg capsule a day for a week, then two for a week, then three. so the max is 4.5mg daily. i've only gone as far as 2 capsules, and its not a cure either, just takes the edge off.
I get waves of what feels like an adrenaline surge with some chills and mild goosebumps. It lasts for 2-3 minutes. My heart pounds and my heart rate goes up to 90-110. I feel drained afterwords. I have these any time of day (6-8 times a day) and can happen at rest or with activity. I’ve had a full cardiac workout and nothing was found. It’s exhausting!
I was dx with MCAS. Severe itching and rash on my lower legs. But also rashly patches that would come and go with flushing and heat. I take antihistamines to calm it down. Sounds like you have MCAS
First, understand that the vaccine and the virus unloads DNA, from plasmids and from the nuclear envelope, into your GI bacteria/yeast. The primary infection point is your GI tract. Second, the bacteria and yeast continue to propagate and manufacture things that are negatively affecting you. Mayo (et al), while very good at compartmentalized diagnosis’, won’t messily able to address the problems because they are systemic, and that’s not the way their system works (for the most part). You have a broad-spectrum illness called CIRS (no ICD-10 code), due to flora disturbance.
Make your own kefir from a good acidic strain, that you’ll only find as a wild-type. Make sure it’s fermented thoroughly enough so that you get the kefir “grains” and eat them too. They kill all the clostidria, e.coli, and bad yeasts. Warning: it is a powerful anti inflammatory, and when you actually get some relief….have a game plan on what you want to do the rest of your life. Also, do a “Spectra”. “Cell.” Test. CIRS doctors (YouTube):
Dr. Peter Osborne,
Dr. Judy Cho,
Dr. Neil Nathan, for starters. Don’t venture too far away from them, the internet is filled with junk.
Also suggested is a GI antifungal (nystatin). If your fungal/yeast problem is bad enough, then itraconazole (see Dr. Campbell). By the way, Mayo did do a long-forgotten study on fungal issues as the root cause of sinus issues….you might need an antifungal spray too.
Also, you might want to try EWOT. Watch the videos by Dr. Tom Incledon at Causenta. Also watch Dr. Angelique Hart (O2brain dot com). Don’t do EWOT before you do Spectra.Cell.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to message me….I'm going to look up everything you just said!!

I have had internal vibrating for over 3 years. It is worse when I do too much or have too much stimulation - loud noise or loud feelings. It also brings on nausea. The only thing that helps me is 5mg of THC. (I live where it is legal.)
Rest and pace your activities. Wishing you all hope and patience. They WILL find a remedy.

8/14/2025 - Comparative Analysis of Long COVID and Post-Vaccination Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study of Clinical Symptoms and Machine Learning-Based Differentiation
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.14.25333639v1
ABSTRACT
Importance - Long COVID is a well-documented post-viral syndrome, while post-vaccination syndrome (PVS) remains poorly characterized. Understanding their similarities and differences is essential for refining diagnostic criteria and developing targeted interventions. This study systematically compares the symptomatology of long COVID and PVS following COVID-19 vaccination, highlighting key distinctions that could inform clinical practice and research.
Objective - To assess the clinical characteristics of long COVID and PVS and identify key distinguishing features between the conditions.
…
Question What are the similarities and differences between long COVID and post-vaccination syndrome (PVS)?
Findings- In this cross-sectional study of 682 individuals, machine learning models identified distinct symptoms between long COVID and PVS. Long COVID was characterized by brain fog, altered sense of smell, and shortness of breath, while PVS was associated with burning sensations, neuropathy, and numbness.
Meaning - Although long COVID and PVS share overlapping symptoms, they have distinctive symptom profiles, suggesting potentially different underlying biological mechanisms. Understanding these differences can guide clinical diagnosis and targeted management, and inform further research into their distinct immune and biological pathways.

5/29/2025 - Yale COVID-19 Recovery Study
https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04895189
Brief Summary
The general purpose of the study is to determine the change in immune responses in people with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC) after vaccination. PASC is a disabling, heterogeneous condition in which people have persistent or emerging symptoms months after an initial SARS-CoV-2 infection, (the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19. Specifically, the purpose is to enroll participants suffering from moderate-to-severe PASC prior to vaccination and to measure participants' immune and symptom profiles both before and after vaccination. This study is primarily descriptive.
Feb 19, 2025 - A small number of people report chronic symptoms after receiving COVID-19 shots. A new study provides clues for further research.

COVID-19 vaccines have been instrumental in reducing the impact of the pandemic, preventing severe illness and death, and they appear to protect against long COVID. However, some individuals have reported chronic symptoms that developed soon after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. This little-understood, persistent condition, referred to as post-vaccination syndrome (PVS), remains unrecognized by medical authorities, and little is known about its biological underpinnings.
In a new study, Yale researchers have taken initial steps to characterize this condition, uncovering potential immunological patterns that differentiate those with PVS from others. The findings are early and require further confirmation but may eventually guide strategies to help affected individuals.

I’ll review the 3 dimensions for how our understanding Covid’s effect on arteries has evolved: (1) Endothelial Inflammation; (2) Promoting Atherosclerosis; and (3) Accelerating Aging

How horrible! I am so sorry for what you are going through. My symptoms didn’t start until long after my first vaccine and only after my first case of Covid. Some have speculate once I got the virus that something in the vaccine was triggered to set off my symptoms. I guess that’s a possibility but I feel my symptoms are probably due to the virus. But not sure we will ever know. I pray you get improvement!
