Internal vibrations: Anyone else experiencing this?
Anyone else have what feels like internal vibrations, your shaking on the inside but no one can see it from the outside?
Would also like to hear from people who are experiencing this and have discussed this with Long Covid Program providers. And have they given any insight on the cause.

I have similar issues. It comes on in the middle of the night preventing sleep. Since your pose have you found anything that helps?
Hi Ripley,
I have been in this for two years now, and have seen many, many doctors and therapists. The adrenaline symptom is just one thing I experience.
My hearing is wrecked, my vision is cloudy, my bowel has shut down, and I have the “adrenaline rush”.
Most doctors want me on an SSRI which I would be happy to take if I could tolerate. Many people get help from SSRI. For me, because of my ear issue it doesn’t work. SSRI makes tinnitus and hyperacusis so much worse for me.
Klonopin helps me, but it is a controlled substance and I take it sparingly. Many doctors won’t prescribe it anymore after the opioid crisis this country is still fighting.
Yes, my life is passing me by.
Good luck to you.

3 ReactionsI awake after 4 hours too. Thought it was just me. I don’t get that intense feeling anymore though. Still can hardly get back to sleep.
I can’t say for certain why those episodes have almost completely subsided, but I’m grateful. I believe they are a part of post covid syndrome. Have they subsided due to the passage of time? The burning in my feet has all but disappeared too. My congestion and phlegm in throat has fluctuated. Some days much better. Taste/smell….not much change and the bitter taste…..still bad. Could it be my tight diet, exercise, vitamins, supplements, improved blood sugar control, regeneration of nerves, virus inside me dying, talk therapy? Idk. But, those episodes were the main reason I was considering Lexapro. Now….idk. I wonder when the sleep thing will subside. Last night I got a full 7.5 hours without waking up! That’s so incredible. Hasn’t happened in a long time.
For those with internal vibrations, I’ve been humming and it does work and it’s crazy that it does but it’s helping!
I was told an anxiety as well. Try humming every time you feel internal tremors it really helps me and perhaps it can help you.
Did you go to Colorado Springs? I did Stellate Ganglion Block in CS only once & it did not work. How many times did you do it? Also, I have a TENS unit. Where did you place the he unit on your body? Thx!
I’m in year two of long Covid. I experienced internal vibrations that sometimes became external tremors as well and went to ER first time thinking it was a seizure. It was not. Since my third infection a month ago, some internal vibrations have returned particularly in my chest and right foot. Palpitations as well. The bowel shut down is particularly disturbing at this point as I become bloated and uncomfortable but have no urge to go. Only a medicated suppository helps me but this is not healthy. I’ve also lost weight since which is more pronounced than the first and second infections. Neurological symptoms, head fullness, rumbling noises, some fatigue persist. Will need to see gastro doc if bowel issues don’t resolve.
Hang in there everyone.
LDN being taken now. Will see how that goes. On it for 6 weeks now and feel it has helped with daily headaches.
Good luck to all. Symptoms may not go away, but you can cope better as time goes on. Unless of course you are not able to function and severely ill. Prayers and hugs.

1 ReactionI’m in year four of LC. About a year ago, I started to experience internal and sometimes external tremors, particularly in my head, neck, shoulders, arms and hands. These would increase markedly with stress, speaking too long or lack of sleep. My face and shoulders would tic as well, particularly my jaw. I can say that these have greatly improved although not completely gone. I also had palpitations/pounding so profound that I could not sleep without the help of ambien. Those are almost gone, except for rare occasions. These all might get better for you, too!
I also experienced a GI phase almost identical to what you describe that lasted a few months. My digestion shut down, I was bloated with horrible gas and I stopped eating. Then I got bad diarrhea for three weeks straight. That phase has resolved. I take Miralax occasionally but, for the most part) I digest and eliminate normally. It might resolve for you too!
Daily headaches for me as well. Since I’m a lifelong migraine sufferer, I know they will never completely go away, but a LC headache feels different. That comes and goes (right now, it’s gone). I have found that certain medications can trigger an avalanche of them, so I just avoid. Also, this could be a migraine thing, not a LC thing.
Two months ago, I was almost disabled, walking around the house crying and wishing for a quick death. Today, I feel almost normal. I still get tics and tremors, but they are manageable. I don’t know why. Is it the course of the illness? Is it just a remission? No idea. Keep hope!
