Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?
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.

@avash You're very welcome, and thank you for your empathy. I learned managing tools while attending Mayo's Pain Rehab Center for 3 weeks and am doing okay. My best advice for you is to learn and rely on self-help tools like diaphragmatic breathing, meditation and mindfulness. If you work at calming your mind and body you may need less medication, which is always the goal, and your symptoms may quiet down a bit.
Distraction, distraction, distraction. I cant stress it enough when dealing with chronic issues. Things like humor, children, animals, talking to a friend (about happy stuff), and focusing on function over feelings. Feelings can take us down a rabbit hole (believe me, I was Bugs Bunny). Physical activity, healthy diet, and knowing that you got this!
I'm glad the video made sense to you. Knowledge is power. 💪
How have you currently been dealing with your symptoms, when they are heightened? What distracts you in the moment?

1 Reaction"@rwinney with me I had anxiety it wasn't bad I just used to get nervous if I go out due to my ibs issue. Once I got covid I really knew what was anxiety and panick attack I had all the time. Sti do now but I try to breathe. Since mine is a vibration 24/7 it's very annoying especially in my stomach. I need to try and to meditation again. I left work last yr due to this ailment so bei g home sucks. I will make sure I get on track this yr and recover so I can get back to work. I appreciate ur advice.

1 ReactionYes and mine is caused by a rare neurological disorder called Hereditary Nerve Pressure Palsy, it also falls under Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT). I get electrical flowing feelings every now and then mostly in the left side of my chest and near my groin on the right side. Once I thought is was my cell phone on silence, just vibration. It is a very weird sensation. Now I'm getting internal vibrations through my entire body. My body does not shake I just feel it inside. I hope this will help. I would definitely recommend seeing a Neurologist and suggest Genetic Testing. This is how my condition was found, otherwise I would still be going crazy looking for answers. Good Luck and I hope you find the answers.

1 Reaction@avash I remember how much it sucked when I had to leave my job. It was very difficult adjusting to loss of routine. Keep the faith that you will get back to work. Are you presently on temporary disability?
If you find getting back on track this year proves challenging, here is a link for Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC). PRC helps with nerve disorders, IBS, anxiety, depression, among many other things.

Also, here is a discussion titled SMART Goals and Chronic Pain that you may find helpful while you are working towards getting back on track.

I'm rooting for you! Please reach out with any questions you may have.

1 ReactionI too have had these vibrations/tremors for 2 years through my entire face since a heart ablation. 20-plus specialists. Hopkins/Mayo and conclusion FND. Very frustrating with no answers. Nothing they’ve suggested as eased the condition. I feel your pain! Some day, some how, and hope there is a cure.
I started getting internal vibrations after I went off a Heart Pill..Coreg. My heart Doc put me on a Heart monitor for 2 weeks to see if the vibration is my heart speeding up. Which one day it went to 177 beats a minute! I also have anxiety, but THIS is NOT anxiety!
I’m so glad that I found this group. My vibrations feel strong & electrical and frightening when they are in my head. I also have just a very steady vibration in my abdomen and chest. But my symptoms are very sporadic- maybe feeling them for a few nights in a row - then nothing for the next month. Once, after experiencing head vibrations, I had a brief period of blurry vision. I was told by a neurologist that it could be small mini-strokes or perhaps late onset (I was in my mid 50’s then) multiple sclerosis. I haven’t been to a neurologist in the last 10 yrs. I have heart stints and moderate carotid artery blockage. I wonder is it’s all connected.
@joyousb for how many yrs u have this? Its not MS so many of us have this after covid. Just something strange also and u have it without covid. Now there's a doubt it's neuropathy since u have it and seen ur neurologist. Did they do any nerve tests for u? Biopsy also?
