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.

Jeff, how is it going now? I am in a similar position to your original post so wondering if there was some way you were able to cure or at least significantly lessen the internal tremors.

Hello,

All going ok, relatively speaking. I am at a pretty constant state where I’m happy living with where things are, and perhaps will be forever.

Not cured/gone by any means, but still fluctuating between great days and decent days.

Still walking many miles a week and yes my legs tire afterwards but no big deal.

The bad days are usually when I don’t get enough sleep or I’m sick. The calves will really act up and pop like crazy then.

It still “moves around” on me too. For example a couple of weeks ago the vibrations flared up inside my chest. Very annoying at night! Same as usual, as I regain consciousness, they calm a lot.

I’m still taking the gabakentin. Not sure if it helps or makes a difference.

One interesting thing since I’ve written here a while ago is that over the past 2 years I’ve gotten pretty bad plantar fasciitis in my one foot. A large cause of PF can be tightness in the calves. I have a hunch that the BFS is at the root cause of why I can’t seem to get rid of the PF despite lots of treatments short of surgery.

Hang in there!

I see. I had a similar thing where I was traveling in Europe and during the trip every day it was getting better, where towards the end it was only noticeable when I woke up at night my legs would vibrate, but then I got back to the states and the first night was ok but every day after it got worse and worse again and now its back to how it was originally which is super disappointing. I wonder why it changes like that? If there was brain damage wouldn't that mean you could never get to the great state? So I kind of wonder if something else is going on.

I found out I have high levels of mercury, 31.8 ug/L in my blood whereas 0-15 was considered normal, so it could be that. I also wonder if it could be a pinch in my spine as my neck has always been pushed forward due to years of computer work.

When I'm tired or drink a lot of coffee it definitely is worse than when I sleep a lot. But it's hard to sleep a lot when you wake up with your whole body vibrating and then it becomes hard to go back to sleep.

The waxing and waning part is a mystery of this condition and probably has to do with why Neuros know so little about it.

The good news is that we can have lots of good days.

Interesting about the mercury. There has to be some reason why you continue to register those levels.

“Not a doctor” disclaimer but I doubt it’s a neck pinch at the root cause.

I just returned from Mayo with internal tremors as a major symptom. I learned about damage to the central nervous system and the various effects, one of which is the tremors. There have been changes to the brain as a result of a number of causes, including trauma. There are ways to manage, and Mayo has a self-directed course. I am going to get to work on it and expect a good outcome, although I know it will take some time.

Same here. I returned from Mayo 2 weeks ago. I start the telemed course in November.

Hi! I also have the internal vibrations from my trunk area and it radiates to my face. I was told a low B12 level could make them worse. I started B12 shots about 6 weeks ago. I know if I don’t get enough sleep they are worse. Unfortunately these tremors stop me from getting a good night sleep. Drs call it anxiety! They don’t really have an answer for it. I started going to a nutritionist for help & a acupuncturist. Sorry you are going through this. You are not alone.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried B12, but not on a regular basis. Will try that. I’ll just take high doses for a week or two and see if it has any effect. No help for me. I will have to live with my issues for now since I’m getting blocked by every avenue I try to get a diagnosis. I’m just thankful that it’s not worse. I feel for those people going through health issues that are not getting resolutions.

I have learned the brain takes a long time to heal. Just take it one day at a time. My tremors from Fluoxetine are not lettuce up after almost 3 years. Stay positive!

Could be something in digestive tract that makes your abdomen area treamor after you eat. Too many carbs or eating too late. This has been one of my problems. I am also had problems with trmmors in the chest but mostly when I'm laying down and sleeping most of the time. Can't get any doctors to figure it out. I wish they could just prescribe me and pilll that stops the tremors.
Ive been taking xanax at night least get a few hours of sleep tonight. Its not anxiety!! t's becoming debilitating.
