Has anyone experienced internal vibrations?

Hi Rachael. I had covid in Jan last yr this is when it began. Under my feet into my arms chest stomach head. Now it's all over internally. Sometimes has like an electric feeling. I did see 3x neurologist who has done bloods, mri, nerve conduction since all was good they didn't do any biopsy though. Which is why I'm confused as the one neurologist says it's anxiety. What meds have helped u? I trier Lyrica and gabapentin, 5 antidepressants

Normally they tell you on the portal you will get a response within 48 to 72 hours since they don't want you to use if for medical emergencies. My Mayo doctors have always given me a business card with a phone number to contact their secretary for any followup questions. You might want to send another message on the portal to see if your care team has a number you can call during normal business hours for followup.

I'm early in the game... nothing has helped me. I'm doing another consult, mine is isolated to the back of my head only. I'm hoping to try botox to stop the muscles from moving.

@avash I disagree with anxiety being the initial cause (sometimes that's said when a doctor has no cause to provide). Sure having these vibrations attributes to anxiety which can be a normal response when experiencing an abnormal feeling inside the body and not knowing why. Yes, anxiety can upregulate more symptoms and around and around we go, but no, not the sole cause.

I understand the electrical feeling you describe. I only take Pregabalin (Lyrica), it has helped my nerve dysfunction. I am living with and managing Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) which is a chronic pain syndrome that produces louder messages to the brain from the body. Its an overreactive Central Nervous System (CNS) that gets upregulated and can produce nerve, muscle, joint, bone pain along with sensory issues. I am mentioning CSS because it has been able to explain some post-COVID symptoms and disorders. Do you mind taking a look at this video presented by Dr. Sletten of the Mayo Clinic?

My hope for you is that your vibrations will be helped a little by a nerve medication, and ultimately dissipate on their own once your CNS calms down. There are lifestyle changes and ways to aid in this.

Will you please let me know your thoughts on the video? What might your next step be?

@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?

"@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.
