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.

I have hypothyroidism, take 100mg levothyroxine, and take 40 mg of omeprozole for an acid problem. My arms and legs burn and ache and keep me from sleeping. I am getting an EEG at the end or the month. My husband thinks it's a nerve problem. My neurologist says my symptoms if looked up on the internet suggest Parkinson's! Scary and debilitating!

Thx. It is scary I know...but wait until things get clear. People with different conditions experience internal vibrations as far as I read. Be patient. I still have various symptoms but I tried and anti inflammatory diet has helped me - for your information.

Since your post, did you find any answers?

I was in the hospital for internal vibrations. They did all tests possible. All they found was a magnesium deficiency. Since I have been taking 400 mgs. of it daily, no vibrations. Just thought I'd share.

I took magnesium just in case, but bloodwork then showed high magnesium, so I stopped taking it. I read that magnesium has types. What exactly were you using? May you please share? Also the brand... Thanks!

I am taking Magnesium Oxide 400 mgs. by prescription. Once daily at bedtime. Take care. Be well.

I tell you to calm down and be patient but when I feel the vibrations at night when I am at rest, and the pain on my left side (which is more apparent during the day and night), I go reading many articles again which refer from MS to Parkinson etc. I feel so anxious and upset. I hope it's none of them. I hope this goes away. I am really tired of it. I feel I surrender like it's my fate. I suspect maybe my persistent (upper and middle) back/chest and abdomen pain are related to a genetic disease - FMF (Familial Mediterranean fever) the type without fever (I am Mediterranean origin). A dr has suspected it but I haven't gone to a specialist or tested for it yet. I am also so busy and tired of going to hospitals. I come to a point I hope it to be diagnosed whatever it is so I can finally know what it is and seek treatment if any. But I am also so scared :'-(

I have nerve damage that causes that. It’s not constant but when it happens it’s disturbing. It feels at times like skin crawls, etc….

I wouldn't but my neurologist told me that.

Hello! I wanted to respond to the most current post to keep this string up to date.

Internal vibrations were the 1st symptoms of what was to become my dx of late onset Multiple Sclerosis. I had been experiencing strange vibrations (a buzzing) in my torso that would wake me from morning sleep. They then dissipated upon getting up and I wouldn’t feel them again until the next morning. The sensations were enough to send me to a Neurologist for a work up which included a spinal tap which confirmed MS. I was 65 yo in 2015 when I was dx.

I still have the vibrations, but not as significant and or not as regularly, but they are still present. I take Gabepentin 3x/day for general discomfort for the MS (which is stable with no new plaque development). I have had hypothyroidism for decades, but in my case the vibrations were not attributed to thyroid disease.

I hope you find some answers; a neurological workup may be worth your while.
Good Luck.

"Some" Parkinson's, MS, Essential Tremor patients feel internal tremors. But patient forums suggest that some of those who suffer from chronic lyme disease, or infected with Bartonella can also experience it. Some even say, in their case only, the vibrations stopped after gluten free diet. Some believe it is because of adernal fatigue and burn out. Unless (most) doctors stop saying it is caused by anxiety and scientists investigate this deeply, we won't know why it happens. I hope this symptom is taken more seriously that leads to a treatment/cure.

I have experienced internal tremors for about 7 years now. I do not have MS or Parkinson’s (verified through tests inc brain scan, nerve tests, blood work & thyroid biopsy). Mine began very gradually Ans now is 24/7. It is not in my arms and hands and primarily in my ‘organ/torso’ region. I have chronic insomnia and lack of sleep DEFINITELY makes it stronger. I also believe cortisol/adrenaline really makes it worse. I suffered from a decade of severe chronic depression. High doses of Gabapentin did little. I also have tinnitus and have suffered from social anxiety. Relief comes from strong pain med and/or sleep med which I take anyway for arthritis/bone spurs and insomnia. I also take time for deep relaxation. I am at least glad more is being written now. 5 years ago almost nothing could be found and I felt very alone. Luckily I have an excellent GP which is key. Although it is said to not be harmful because it is around my heart all the time it is extremely disconcerting.
