Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?
Brain & Nervous System | Last Active: 1 hour ago | Replies (888)Comment receiving replies
I’ve had internal vibrations over most of my body for over 2 yrs now. I tried Gabapentin and it didn’t work. I also have constant muscle spasms and severe atrophy. I’ve tried muscle relaxers and they don’t work. Are there other optons? My physician doesn’t like to prescribe. I’ve had extremely high blood pressure for 2 yrs but I’m on the highest dose of an ARB, but my physician won’t address this. With offices closed and era too busy, how can I get help?

@asquires Sorry to hear about your suffering. You are in good company!
- Anything you recollect that happened around when your vibrations started (ie virus, injury)? Any other concurrent symptoms (ie fatigue, Muscle cramps, headache)?
- are you positive you have atrophy or do parts just feel weaker and more tired? If it is definitive atrophy, is it one limb, one side, symmetrical, etc? If it is definitive, could it be from lack of use (due to cramping, fatigue, frustration etc)?
- are your spasms all over the body or in a certain area(s)? Are they more like fasciculations or one at a time jerks?
Overall, you should see a Neuro (Or another neuro if your doctor you refered to here is already a neuro). Testing could possibly include MRIs, blood, EEG, EMG and sleep study as a start.
- Curious how long you tried and what dose you had of Gabapentin.
I feel your frustration with the current testing challenges given COVID. Personally, I am not able to get my neuro-sleep study or my spinal MRIs right now.
Also, out of curiosity, are your interns vibrations intensified when asleep/falling asleep/waking up?
