Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?

Hello @ntbv, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @novajeff and other members. Thank you for sharing your experience with internal tremors. I'm sorry to hear they are getting worse. Hopefully other members with experience can share what has helped them. There is an older discussion that you may want to view to see if helps:

Have you thought about getting a second opinion at a major teaching hospital or facility like Mayo Clinic? If you would like to seek help from Mayo Clinic, contact one of the appointment offices. The contact information for Minnesota, Arizona and Florida can be found here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Never smoked. One normal small coffee most mornings.

To be honest the caffeine does make it worse, but not dramatically so.

I take gabapentin 3x300. Not sure how much it helps but I have no side effects so no harm continuing for the time being, in my case.

Some days it is 24/7. Sometimes really worsens at night when I’m trying to sleep. The more relaxed my muscles try to get the worse it can be.

Ok thanks keep me posted on your progress
I’ll look into the book

Hi, It only just now occurred to me to search body vibration online. I've had it about a month, mostly in my feet and legs but it moves up into my body, arms and hands. I don't visibly shake but it sure feels like it. I also feel very tense when it gets bad.
I have found that sports supplements do help. Multi minerals, sodium.
They last about 4 hours. I've been taking one called "Youth & Tonic" (I think they have a website) at ~9:30 AM and again ~9:30 PM. My Dr said I could take them twice a day, I asked.
My brother has them too but he was exposed to Agent Orange in Viet Nam. He started taking a Zinc supplement. Says the vibrations are less and he is sleeping better. So trying non-meds may be the way to go,
I am a jewelry artisan but I think I'll have to give it up because when the vibration in my hands gets bad I don't have fine motor control which is so very necessary.
Good Luck to you. I hope you find a way to get some control so you're free of the vibrations for at least part of the day.

PS - Marko82 back - I don't have any other sensations - no prickling or anything. Guess I'm lucky. My Dr offered me anti-anxiety meds but I refused. This doesn't feel like anxiety especially when it stops an hour or so after I take a sports capsule. I'm 82. I don't do sports. :O)

Hi Mermaid, Since mine just started about a month ago I didn't know it could be cyclical. Thanks for that information. I have no idea how zinc is an overdose, but we all need to be careful - some vitamins can be toxic if we take too much p like Vit A, D, potassium for sure. Not so sure about others. ASK! Write down your questions - put them in the car so you don't for get to bring them to a Dr visit. and bring a pen to write down answers to questions so you don't forget. Marko82

Hello Marsha @marko82, Welcome to Connect. I see that you have already connected with several members and shared what helps you. It sounds like you pretty much have your symptoms under control. Are you able to share a little more about your diagnosis and any treatments the doctors have suggested?

Hello John,
Thank you. I haven't been "diagnosed" per se. My Jan 6 mo bloodwork was low in sodium. I don't much like salt or salty foods. I rarely cook with it so I had to find a way to raise the blood sodium level. A friend suggested the sports capsules. My sodium on last week's labs was normal but the best benefit is that the vibrations actually stop or are so minute I feel free and not tense at all. I hope others will have the same benefit.
The DR offered me anti-anxiety meds. No Thank You. I take supplements, not meds. I am a diet-controlled Type II diabetic. My A1c runs about 5.7 so I'm doing Ok. I'm also very lactose. No carbs or dairy.. Very limiting. Keeps my weight down tho. :O)
How about you? Do you take supplements. Have you found a way to lessen or control the vibrations?

Hi Marsha @marko82, I don't have the internal vibrations or tremors per se but my hands do get a little shaky sometimes especially when I'm trying to write a check 🙂 I take supplements for my small fiber peripheral neuropathy which I described in my neuropathy journey story here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/

I also take a few other supplements along with the one's for neuropathy. I take Qunol Mega Ubiquinol CoQ10 100mg daily along with Curcumin Phytosome with Meriva 500mg to help with inflammation. I did check with my doctor before starting the supplements.

Mayo Clinic does list some lifestyle and home remedies that you can use to reduce or help with the tremors here but I'm guessing you are already doing most of them - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/essential-tremor/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20350539

@novajeff, @mj953 and @ntbv may have some tips or suggestions to share with you for helping internal vibrations.

PN in your 50's. I'm so sorry. Mine didn't start till I was ~65.. Felt like I was walking on river rocks. A massage therapist told me my calf muscles were so hard and tight I was cutting off the blood supply and nerve conduction to my feet. I bought 2' of 2x4' wood at HD and pulled a narrow scrap piece out of their wood trash & made a small slant board about a 1' out from a wall in the bedroom. I stand on just before getting into bed w my heels on the floor, You can feel how tight your muscles are. Lean against the wall w your arms and just stand there until the tightness eases and you're more aware of your feet. Then get into bed. That's lessened my PN a lot. I no longer feel like I'm walking on rocks, bunched sox or bad burning. There still is a little of that, also some numbness but not bad. I take B vitamins to help regenerate the nerves but they aren't very effective. Good Luck, Hope you can stop the progression and maybe ease what you have now.
