Hi @nightops Bad pun but those internal vibrations are unnerving, aren’t they? I’m experiencing some right now myself. A few years ago, I had some demyelination of my spinal cord in a reaction to a medical condition. It has since repaired itself with a lot of treatment and physical therapy. But if I inadvertently put too much pressure on that area of my spinal cord, it will send my body into what I call ‘electric mode’ for several days with all over internal trembling. I try to describe it as being filled with carbonated water everywhere or holding onto a slightly electrified object.
Even though I know what it is, it tends to freak me out and I need to rely on my mindfulness exercises until it eases.
MS can cause lesions to form along the central nervous system by damaging the myelin sheath that protects our spinal cords. It’s actually fairly common for people with MS to experience internal vibrations. I found a couple of articles for you that you might find a little more reassuring.

You have a lot to process right now. Have you talked to your doctor about maybe taking a small dose of an anti-anxiety medication to help you work through some of the stress of this new diagnosis and work?

I am experiencing a symptom almost exactly like this! I have no confirmed demyelination but I had a flare of extreme burning lower back pain and ever since then I have had vibrating in my sacral area and in my legs that worsens when I put any kind of pressure on my back like when sitting or laying down.
