Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

Hi, Just come across your post from August 2022.
I really sympathise with you and can relate to all that you are experiencing!
Although by this time I hope your symptoms have improved!
My symptoms (same as yours) started after my 3rd Covid Vaccine - I had two Pfizer but the last one was Moderna.
I had a particularly bad session on waking this morning - so much so that I checked my heart via pulse oximeter. I felt the vibrations/inner tremors were making my neck pulse. Heart readings were all good - which is a relief - but this still need a diagnosis as to what is happening to me. It's not painful and subsides about 15/20 minutes after I am up and about in the mornings BUT I would just like some answers!
I am female, 69 years old and fairly active and healthy - other than these internal vibrations.
Got a doctors appointment tomorrow to check out my bloods - just would like a definite answer as to what is going on!
Take care!

HI Thanks for responding. My symptoms have improve but the vibrations are still there when I sleep on my side. My vibrations are positional or as they call postural. When I am awakened by the vibrations, I shift my position and it goes away. When I wake up and stand up, it is gone. I really have no pain but sometimes when I lift heavy things I get spasms and I just take Aleve. Before I use to panic when I feel these vibrations which literally made it worse. Now I am calm and it is not that bad. I stretch and exercise, walk and do breathing exercises that really helps. My neck and spine doctor also prescribed me 8 sessions of PT which I will start next week. I only had the first 2 vaccines (Moderna) and I did not have those boosters. I had COVID last December of 2022. I have done extensive research on this and one of the causes could be sudden drop of estrogen at our age. I am 66.5 yrs old. I will not take hormonal replacement. Dehydration can also be one cause and of course the neck and spine degeneration. I have not take any neuropathic pain medication or any medication. I sometimes take GABA if I am nervous or stressed to calm me down. Kindly also post what you will find out from your doctor. thanks,
