Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?
I started having the only way I can explain it is internal vibrations. I've had them for 3 months now, I went to t hihe ER and they told me it was anxiety. A doctor diagnosed me at a clinic as having Lyme disease I've started a 21-day prescription of Doxycycline I'm on day 7. I went to a psychiatrist a week ago to get something because of my nerves are just over the brink. He prescribed me Gabapentin and Valium I've only been on them a few days.
Has anyone experienced these internal vibrations?I have them almost 24/7 chest neck stomach from the hips down. I have more lab tests that should be in today, but the doctor's office said that they would not call unless there was some abnormality in the lab work.

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.

Hi Amesmassage, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/member/00-7d4f3486919d1545236515/
I've only been working in silver and copper for about 7 years. Before that I was a potter for 45 yrs. (There's where a lot of toxins are.. esp in glaze chemicals). My wrists got bad from pushing stiff clay in 2010 (I liked thin walls) and I had to give it up. Began the jewelry ~2014. I don't do enough for it to adversely affect me. Could not make a living at it. It's a craft that earns a few $$. I sell in 2 art galleries and a resort gift shop & do 3 local indoor shows/yr which were all canceled last year so have not made anything since Feb 2019. This isn't from inhaled or skin absorbed toxins. Thanks for caring enough to write and suggest it.
Hi John,
Maybe you are allergic to writing checks. :O)
My handwriting has gotten terrible - checks, notes.. everything. Even my printing is poor. All my bills are on auto-pay.
I've never heard of Meriva. Is it OTC? I take a bunch of supplements: glucosamine chondroitin (my knees don't hurt anymore & no bad hips), digestive enzymes for lactose, Vit D, Flax/fish oil/borage soft gel (as per Dr), probiotic and now the sports minerals which are helping a little. I have a few hours a day w/o vibrations. No pain - just annoying and weakens my hands. I'm not dropping things- yet. Hope it doesn't come to that.

1 ReactionThe turmeric supplement I take that has Meriva in it is OTC - https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Curcumin-Phytosome-Non-GMO/dp/B008YDH4HM/ I've taken various ones for a few years but recently was reading a little about brands with Meriva which seem to have a better bioavailability.
Yup...not really fond of writing checks. Even my printing has gone downhill 😁
What does tumeric do for you? I see commercials on it.
I take Milk Thistle. Yrs ago I had raised liver enzymes. The Indian Dr said to take them. It cleanses the liver. Labs have been normal ever since. I don't like writing checks. That's one reason I have autopay for bills & utilities & so I don't forget. If I can write a check ahead they look better than writing on the spot. I pay some bills w Paypal which charges a credit card w reward points. :O) My printing is pretty now bad too. I decided I wasn't ever going to get like my mother and grandmother. It happened anyhow. :O(
