Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?
Brain & Nervous System | Last Active: Sep 29 9:08am | Replies (901)Comment receiving replies
I have started with tremors in the back of my head. They start at rest and don’t stop. It feels like the occipital area, base of my skull. They are debilitating, and I wake up exhausted, with weak neck muscles. I have been suffering from occipital nerve pain for 6 months and now these tremors have started. I need to do something, I can’t sleep. Has anyone experienced this? Does Botox work? I have been waiting for a reply from a neurologist I saw at Mayo but no one has called me back. I’m basically terrified to go to sleep. Any advice appreciated.

Welcome @lisa2022, I know it has to be awful having the tremors on top of the occiptal nerve pain and not being able to sleep. You mentioned you have been waiting for a reply from a neurologist you saw at Mayo but no one has called you back. Another thing you might try if you are setup with a Mayo patient portal is to send your neurologist or care team a message and ask for a follow up. Here are the details on how to setup your portal -- https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/featured-topic/connect-to-the-care-you-need-with-patient-online-services.

Have you tried calling your neurologist again to make sure they got your message?
