Internal vibrations, not sleeping well, stressed out

Posted by nightops @nightops, Feb 23, 2023

Diagnosed MS 12/5/2022, 3 day run of IV SoluMedrol, and the tingling/pain in the feet went away. Tingling in right hand never went away. Been working a keyboard for 20+ years. Doesn’t seem to be any pinky involvement, so doc was thinking it might be CTS. Trying to get an EMG/nerve conduction test done to confirm. Things have been very mild up until 2 weeks ago when the vibrations started. Doc doesn’t think it’s MS related. No idea, but I know my stress is through the roof right now between health and job. I feel like I’m falling apart. In 4 months I went from no symptoms, to feeling like it’s the end. I know that’s dramatic compared to what so many others are going through, but I can’t help it.

I experience the vibrations too. My doctor has not understood what I am experiencing and says it is anxiety.

Did you get a shot? Did you do two shots? Have you had Covid? These are things I believe caused the vibrations. I never had them until after my second shot. They happen mostly at night. I control them with naltrexone and clonazepam to help with sleep.

Yes, I have had Covid. Was really sick November/December, 2020 before there were vaccines. I take Trazodone at bedtime to sleep. No one has mentioned connection between the vibrations and Covid.

Yes to your questions I have gone to endocrinologist, neurologist, optometrist, gynecologist, checking, hormones , checking blood, I have had MRIs I have had EKGs. I have been ruled out external tremors. I’ve been ruled out seizures. I have done holistic with five different doctors you name it I’ve done it. The vibrations are controlled by naltrexone to keep it from transversing and from happening during daytime hours. It is mostly at night it does it around 4 AM with insomnia I treat it with sleep medication clonazepam.
