Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?

Thank you so much for posting the link to the video of this neurologist from Mayo and Jacksonville. I go to Mayo on May 9th for my symptoms that have been debilitating for 2.5 years now yet no neurologist here in Tampa Florida area or in Augusta Georgia area as well as endocrinologist and cardiologist and primary care configure anything out as to why I have all these debilitating symptoms. Some symptoms have come and gone some return some have never went away and it seems like it's just gotten worse. This is a very informative educational video and I think a lot of neurologists across America that try to shrug off their patients symptoms as anxiety and depression and want to immediately put you on antidepressants they all need to watch this video. I've been strung along for 2.5 years now by far too many different so-called specialist that just shrug off these symptoms and want to blame it on and anxiety and for 2.5 years now I've suffered to hell and back and back to hell again. Shame on all the other neurologists and other specialist that want to give a quick diagnosis of stress and anxiety for people that have symptoms like mine and others I'm reading on this Mayo Clinic blog

@joannemm30809 Hi Joanne. Dr. Christopher Sletten, Ph.D., L.P. is not a neurologist. His Mayo departments are Psychiatry and Psychology. His Specialty Group is Pain Management - Pain Rehabilitation Center, where he educates on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and has a team of physical therapists, occupation therapists, nurses, bio-feedback specialists, and nutritionists.

Dr. Sletten's video incorporates both the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System where upregulation of pain, sensory and autonomic dysfunctions occur. The peripheral nervous system is comprised of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. Pain stems from our brain and spinal cord sending false signals. The aforementioned certainly can result in anxiety and depression, but that is not what causes the pain and symptoms of Central Sensitization and all of the diagnoses which fall under its umbrella.
Specialists are educated to work within their specialty lane and can take you just so far. It's ultimately up to the patient to find closure that they have left no stone unturned and accept when they have turned the corner from acute to chronic then educate themselves on how to manage chronic.
I also hope you find answers March 9th when you visit a Mayo neurologist. I'm looking forward to hearing what you learn. Best of luck, Joanne.
