Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?

Posted by redladyjoni @redladyjoni, Nov 26, 2018

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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

Hello and welcome @luckymspenny1 and @7881188. Thank you for joining the conversation about internal vibrations, tingling, buzzing, shaky leg, and all that other not so fun stuff.

You're both asking the great question of, "what is this and why is it happening?" Are odd sensations from COVID or maybe from the vaccine itself? Interestingly enough one of you has had COVID and the other has not, and one of you has been vaccinated and the other has not. If you scroll back through this conversation thread page by page you will find you're not alone in wondering. Many tests later prove nothing is wrong, many doctors later brush it off as anxiety. It is neurological, but why?

Because I have Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) and have experienced symptoms like restless leg syndrome, internal vibrations, buzzing, shocks, etc...I can offer you information about CSS that may help answer your questions. I will say that anxiety can definitely increase these symptoms, but not likely to cause them as some doctors chalk it up to.

I'd like to introduce you to Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten who heads up the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center. He offers an in depth look of CSS and explains the how the central and peripheral nervous systems can be affected with upregulation and changes. Here is a video explaining more -

Central Sensitization Syndrome by Dr. Christopher Sletten:

I hope this helps explain some of what you're experiencing. Would you mind letting me know your thoughts after watching the video? There is a lot to digest. Does any of it resonate with you?

My doctor put me on klonopin and it doesn’t happen to me when I’m falling asleep. It must have something to do with GABA Neurotransmitters.
Let me know what you think?

Great news that klonopin is helping. I'm not familiar with GABA Neurotransmitters to offer my opinion. Have you researched or asked your doctors opinion?

Fantastic! Yes, the video by Dr. Sletten is amazing. I'm so glad you found it helpful. I highly recommend CBT. It has helped me tremendously manage chronic pain and symptoms.

Have you considered the Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Center or are you seeking CBT independently?

There are only three Mayo PRC's - Minnesota, Arizona and Florida.

Here is an overview of the program:

Might you consider applying to Jacksonville, FL as it's closest to NC? Insurance is the first step however as the program is very expensive. Do you have out of network coverage?
