Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?

Hello All,

Your comments are very helpful and I'm glad to have found this forum. I hope that my story will help you as yours have encouraged me. My internal vibrations are more like buzzing and began 13 years ago inside my inner right calf. Initially they were intermittent and not very often. Now they are 24/7, and are in my entire body, including my lips, which is unnerving, no pun intended. 😉 I don't experience that "relaxed" feeling any more and many autonomic problems have developed including electrical conduction problems that involve my heart (Midodrine was a game changer!). I can feel the physical toll this condition has caused my body and anxiety was ruled out through tests. Because of the timing of the onset of my symptoms in correlation with the city in which I live, first using insecticides and pesticides to control the mosquito population, I think there is a connection between organophosphate poisoning and my internal buzzing and autonomic dysfunctions. Spending years trying to figure out why this is happening and trying to eliminate the buzzing and return to a peaceful relaxed state of body, I started using select amino acids and neurotranmitter supplements. A neurologist suggested that I eat 3 eggs a day and when I asked why, she stated that "I needed the choline". Since eating 3 eggs a day wasn't realistic for me, I began using the supplements I mentioned and my journey for relief continued. Recently I was tested for acetylcholine receptor dysfunction because of the "choline" recommendation and I noticed that a couple of the meds I've been using affect the muscarinic receptors which are part of the cholinergic receptors system. To learn more about this important system, I appreciated Osmosis.org's explaination of Cholinergic receptors. I think there is a correlation between the Cholinergic system and our vibrating/buzzing sensations. My acetylcholine receptor antibody tests were negative for dysfunction and my Movement Disorder Neurologist prescribed Baclofen. Low and behold, Baclofen reduced my buzzing/vibrations YEA, but it exacerbated my autonomic dysfunctions and I had to discontinue it. To date, I've received the most relief from using the supplements L-Tryptophan and pure California Poppy tincture. A word of caution, all supplements are not created equally and can impact health and medications, so please check with your doctor before trying them. In closing, I suspect that genetic mutations may be a component of this physical experience. Have any of you been tested for the genetic COMT mutation? Having the genetic COMT mutation can affect how the body utilizes certain meds that some of you in this forum have mentioned using. I'm interested in hearing from you and may you receive answers and relief!

@avash Hello and welcome. Thank you for joining the conversation about internal vibrations, they are annoying, that's for sure. I hope you've taken time to review others accounts in this conversation, and gained insight. I have experienced vibrations due to Small Fiber Neuropathy. How long have you been experiencing internal vibrations? Where do you feel them? Have you been seen by a neurologist yet?

Originally my vibrations were due to atrial fibrillation. I had six stents put in and I no longer had the vibrations. BUT I now live in my son's home and he has an outside fresh air inlet that enters in my outside wall of my bedroom. I have a tall vase with a sprig decoration in it and I can actually see it vibrate and I definitely feel the vibrations whether I am sitting, in bed or standing in this room. Just sitting here typing I feel it. Making me nervous and possibly ill from lack of restful sleep.

I am new to this forum and I’m not sure if you are still having the issue, I had a similar situation for two years and it was finally resolved. I realize your post is nine months old I’m just curious if you’re still having the same vibration issue.

I was not on any medication and had not been on any medication when they started.

I have had them for several months. Lately, they have worsened. I told my neurologist. I told my PCP. all of them. I told everyone I could make them sit still LONG enough to listen. I have been on Gabapentin for years and years. Same with Cymbalta and Mirapex for restless legs. Sometimes restless body. No, this is NOT anxiety. I know anxiety and depression.
The doctors don't know what it is so they show you the door.
It feels like you are lying on a body-length cell phone. It wakes me up at night. I'm sorry. I don't know what the answer is and evidently, neither do doctors.
