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.

Did not have any shots but had cdiff from a hospital visit!!!! No notification friend was sick from HER or the staff. Started 5 years ago. Electrical. It can get bad like today, upper stomach was doing a polka or something. Took a Ashwagandha, calmed down more than my script. SO FAR
Found out what the upper stomach polka was. Coming off Dicyclomine, taking years. I did not take a dust lick. Hate meds. But the internal shaking? Still goes on in the whole body. Could be muscle
Yes I have also and feel it is stress anxiety all blood work is good and I don’t know where else to look
I have internal vibrations from my hereditary neuropathy. I've been on atenolol, a beta blocker for high blood pressure, for 25 years. My internal vibrations and fasciculations I'd had for many years suddenly stopped for 15 years and I always wondered why. I didn't make the connection until I stopped taking atenolol for only a week a few years ago and the massive twitching (50+ at a time), muscle jerks, horrid foot/leg cramps, internal and external tremors went nuts. I started the atenolol again and it all improved about 75%, but never completely stopped again.
Now, cancer meds have caused low blood pressure and low heart rate which is the same thing atenolol does so that's a problem, but I've been afraid to stop the atenolol again. So I cut the dose in half to test the neuro issues. My blood pressure and heart rate have gone up closer to normal so that's good, but immediately all the fasciculations doubled including in both eyelids at once and the internal tremors started up again. No increase in cramps or muscle jerks luckily. Of course, it's all most noticeable when trying to rest. The internal tremors remind me of those beds they had in hotel rooms when I was a kid that you put in a quarter and it vibrates. Very annoying when there is no off switch. I would love to go off atenolol completely, but I don't dare.
My real point in all of this though is that the minute the internal tremors started throughout my body, it made me feel like I'm anxious, but the tremors are just fooling my brain. So when doctors tell so many of you that your tremors are nothing more than anxiety, my question would be, "which came first, the chicken or the egg???" Even if you are prone to anxiety, that doesn't mean that's what is causing your tremors. Hmmm. Good luck to all. I feel for you.
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.

2 ReactionsHey - same exact thing happened to me!! Do you have a private contact info? We should exchange notes
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.
