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.

Yes yes yes. My psych nurse said it could be my medication. I have not seen the doctor yet but have a physical coming up. I call them internal tremors or quivers. Mine comes in spurts. I'll get them for a few weeks then go months without them then they come back again. I was worried it was a seizure thing. Because it happens so little I never think to ask my doctor when I see her. I hope you get it figured out.

Can you give us an update

I have had them since March 2021 and saw many drs over the last year and was just diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy with cause unknown after dozens of tests and bloodwork. The only people I know who have this are covid survivors. I was never diagnosed with covid so not sure if that is where mine came from or not. Many of us may have had it and not known.

Hi @debbpyk. I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy. How are you doing since diagnosis? Have you found symptom relief from nerve medication yet?

Have you joined other conversations on Connect in the Neuropathy threads? Here is a link if your interested:

You'll find a great deal of insight from community members who also have SFN. Let me introduce you to @artscaping and @johnbishop who are wonderful, resourceful mentors also living with neuropathy.

How annoying to wonder where symptoms like vibrations derive from. Post-Covid and Neuropathy both can cause internal vibrations and tremors. I feel vibrations in my feet, legs and occasionally hip area. Where do feel your vibrations? Do they wake you?

Good afternoon @2debbpyk. It's great to meet you. Thanks, @rwinney for this introduction. What I see right now is that you received a diagnosis of (SFN) small fiber neuropathy. You had so many tests so I am wondering if you remember a skin biopsy test. Is that the one you that you think determined your diagnosis? It does seem like your results were "idiopathic" or as you wrote......cause unknown.

Sometimes it is frustrating not to know how you got this way and what it means for your future. I had my diagnosis about 9 years ago. Once I understood more about SFN, I began to realize that my traumatic injury life with multiple orthopedic surgeries must have had a lot to do with my diagnosis.

I do want to make sure I get to know how you are handling your SFN symptoms. Do they include numbness, burning pain, and what I call "tingle-tangles"? And finally, may I ask if you have been referred to a specialist, e.g. a neurologist?

May you be safe, protected and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris

After two bouts of COVID, I started having some strange symptoms. One was internal vibration. Different than muscle spasms, which I have also. I don't have them all the time. It is unnerving to say the least. Good luck and blessings as you navigate the health care system to find answers

I have "Generalized Anxiety Disorder". Internal trembling sensations are very common. Mine have been under control for many years. If this and/or certain other symptoms arise,
I take a very small dose of Clonazepam, which eradicates the symptoms very quickly.
As this is a benzodiazepine your Dr. may be hesitant to prescribe it.

Have you had your B12 level checked? Deficiency can cause host of issues.

Hello, I'm new to the site.
I'm a 33 year old male and for the past three years I have had constant muscle twitching, muscle spasm through out my body it came a time I could not walk and my muscles got so weak I couldn't even write my name.
It all started with a stomach ache and it did not seem to go away then on the fourth day after my right leg started to twitch it was painful but it was brief then I started getting a pain on my right side of my neck followed with muscle twitching and tremors mind you these symptoms were days apart from each other then I started getting sharp shooting pain down my right arm then followed by pins and needles. I decided to go to my gp there he looked at my symptoms and did a blood panel test and my vitamins b12 and iron was low and my cholesterol was boarder line so he gave me a b12 shot and iron supplement and rovostatin 10mg to take so all was good for four days after that my spasm and twitching came back with vengeance followed with new symptoms such as burning in my skin also my sense of smell was increased 10 folds I could of smelt what the neighbor a mile away was having for lunch.
He immediately pulled me of the meds saying it's not agreeing with me. Thus my journey from doctor to doctor and specialist to specialist began.
I've been to doctors ,specialist an the results were the same, they would say it's in your head or there go to diagnosis for doctors when they have no answer is"anxiety" .
I started trying natural remedy and still nothing. During this time my symptoms starting getting worse and new symptoms started developing, like internal tremors throughout the days together with my constant spasm and twitching then started getting rashes constant my migranes on the right side of my head constant shocking sensation in both feet while walking and finally I had shortness of breath. Also I started walking around with a 3m respirator because of my highthen sence of smell. i am also diagnosed with cholesteatoma of the ear .
So it was coming around the time I normally go for my routine check up with my E.N.T specialist. Mind you with all this going on an no answers I was depressed and didn't want to go. But my wife was very supportive during this whole ordeal giving me the incouragment to keep positive,bless her.
So the day arrived to do my check up so I got there the doc does his thing checks my ear and removes Any tissues blocking my ear drum .
So after finishing up I started telling him about my symptoms and that I have been to heart specialist, neuroligist, allergist, etc
He looks in my nose sees a polyp then I explained my symptoms of my muscles twitching and spasming etc.
He goes on and said I have allergy affecting my nervous system which in return is affecting my muscles so he places me on arius 5mg one a day he said to me take that for a month an then come back, I was like "what" can't be serious I've been to an allegist an they could not find anything wrong .
I was skeptical because of the amount of medication I was prescribed and nothing worked.
Well guys I bought it and tried it for a month an wow my twitching started to ease up also followed by my tremors also my spasms, all my symptoms gradually started easing up, it has been almost one year on the medication an my symptoms have improved drastically.
So guys I couldn't believe an E.N.T specialist picked up on my symptoms.
Don't get me wrong I still have my episodes of muscle twitching and spasm on a bad day but it's like once for the week if it does act up it's for a couple of minutes i must say it's way better than being in constant pain and twitching all over constantly.
I still do get vibration well tremors but only when I'm sleeping but it only happens when I have a hard day.
I will keep you guys posted on my progress and any changes or new symptoms.
I know you may be wondering whats the diagnosis,honestly i don't know my e.n.t only said I have allergy that affects my nerves if anyone has this and there's a cure or a better way forward I would like to know , for the mean while this is my run down of my symptoms and what help me cope. so I hope it helps someone in a similar situation. Having constant muscle weakness and spasms followed by twitching all day constantly not being able to enjoy life for three years it's hard going to doctors and not having answers or no solution it's hard it's both mentally and physically draining but guys don't give up just keep trying
