As predicted I finally fell asleep at 1am after two glasses of wine, hotub soak and melatonin. I slept hard only to wake up at 5:00am to vibrations like I was laying on top of a washing machine on its fastest spin cycle. From a scale of 1-10 it was a ten....even in my face (I make up my own scale as I have nothing to compare it to...lol). 5 hours later its at a two.
Con las vibraciones tan malas, yo entraría en pánico solo para funcionar, tal vez me sumergiría en una bañera a la 1:00 AM. ¿Alguna vez sientes nerviosismo por dentro también? Siento el nerviosismo y tengo la ansiedad de pánico y palpitaciones del corazón, lo peor.
Thanks lisa, that sounds really promising! I want to try the stuff as soon as possible.
I also use extra salt, it really helps with the fatigue and low blood pressure. I don't drink it but just put some extra on my food. Sometimes on hot days like today I make stock and put some extra salt in it, it gives me a proper boost.
I was planning to use patches also, they don't cause migraines like the pills do in migraineurs (like me).
By the way, I asked my mother today if she ever felt vibrations at the beginning of menopause and just before that, and she did, she described them as a constant electric current flowing through her body, just like you did!
Oh, cielos... Puedo identificarme 😊 Tengo solo 1-2 horas de sueño y quiero gritar y llorar. Tuve terribles oleadas de calor y frío que me mantuvieron despierta, lo que también desencadenó ansiedad. Mis pobres hijos deben estar hartos de mí. Todos mis síntomas aparecieron de repente hace 6 semanas y no sé cuánto más podré soportar 
The vibrations are always the worse when I wake up from sleep although for the past couple of days they have stayed with me during the day too only mildly and yes the heart palps too. The vibrations are always in the inside. I can't see me shaking but I can feel it.
My symptoms came on suddenly too the first time I thought I had a pinched nerve in my neck as the vabrations where from head to toe. It was probably the worse one I ever had and then I jumped out of bed in full panic attack wondering what was wrong. From then on its happened every day. My body has been vibrating all day again.. I finally called my doctor to get my blood results and was gone for the day. She didn't sign off on the paperwork so another doctor couldn't give me the readings. The desk lady said you just had it done two days ago...why the hurry?..I broke down crying in frustration..I like you, don't know how much more I can take. Did I read in another post of yours that you had started HRT?
How long did they last and what did she do to lessen them?
No he empezado todavía, pero creo que lo haré. Son las 10:45 am. Acabo de tomar 1/4 de Alepam (el médico me lo recetó para el insomnio, nunca lo he usado antes en mi vida) y solo he dormido dos horas. Cada minuto cuenta. Tomaré medio esta noche, ya que sin dormir estoy terrible y eso empeora mucho todos los síntomas relacionados con la adrenalina. ¡Dios mío, sí! ¿Cuándo obtendrás los resultados? ¿Tienes alguna medicación del médico? Nunca he tomado nada antes, pero esta pausa de dos horas de los síntomas es como oro. Totalmente entiendo por lo que estás pasando. Mi vida se ha convertido en un territorio desconocido y me asusta todo. ¿Tienes otros síntomas? Todos los días tengo uno nuevo, así que nunca sé qué esperar. Empecé hace dos años con períodos irregulares y calambres, pero nada en el mundo como esto. Mi vida se volvió muy estresante en abril con dos trabajos y yo a tiempo completo, criando sola, luego mi coche se averió y luego uno de mis hijos se enfermó, así que íbamos en autobús a todas partes, incluyendo a mis clases y ¡PUM! Comencé con ansiedad extrema e insomnio primero, que me asustó muchísimo, desencadenó muchas cosas del pasado para mí y ha sido un viaje aterrador desde entonces. Renuncié a mis trabajos y a mis estudios porque no podía manejar nada. Avísame cómo te va con tus resultados.
Oh, tengo 48 años y ahora mis períodos son cada 4 meses. 😊
She said they waxed and waned through the day for about 10 years and (you're not going to like this) still has them once in a while. She's 85 by now...
I asked if she really suffered from the vibrations full time for 10 years, and she replied by saying it at least felt like 10 years.
She got a prescription for hormones but was taken off of them by another doctor who told her they were not safe, which was true at that time. HRT is much more advanced nowadays, and relatively safe.
The pills did help though, and after quitting them she just endured her complaints. Which I am not planning to do myself, I want to get rid of this (and the insomnia, palpitations, dizziness etc.) a.s.a.p. I don't really care how. I've always refused medications for all kinds of complaints, but this one has made me surrender.
Update...so I finally get my blood tests back and everything was fine. Again my doctor specified she couldn't find anything specific on body vibrations.and menapause. She said I was already on something for anxiety so couldn't be that. I told her how violent my vibrations had been the last couple of days..(waking up like I was laying on top of a washing machine spinning on highes cycle). That was followed by a hmmm,,,well she put me on Clonidine for restless leg syndrom but warned me it will drop my blood pressure. I had to tell her I thought I had high BP anyways...so she looked through my file and said...oh..yeah you do...so this might help with that too. My body has been vibrating all day so I took my first pill...not ready for bed but couldn't take it anymore. I just want one night of good sleep without vibrations!. .
Thanks for the update Kay, was just reading the topic on internal vibrations on the Dutch menopause forum. It seems to be a quite frequent complaint since a few hundred shared their experiences about the vibrations.
One woman wrote about two homeopathic medicines she got from her GP (who seems to know about menopause causing these vibrations) and it worked very well: no more vibrations and no more waking up in the middle of the night! She didn't mention which compounds she used but I'm trying to find out. Her post is quite old so I hope she's still on there.
Another woman wrote about getting rid of the vibrations by using a tailor-made Bach flower formula.
I guess we need to find a natural solution if we can't use HRT.
I agree..
Update...so a couple more weeks into the body vibrations. Not one night without them..they get worse as I lay there trying to sleep through them till I finally just get out of bed. Days like today they continue through out the day too. My doctor has prescribed me a RLS med three days ago but has failed to call it in so I haven't got to try it. Other than that she says she can not help me anymore...ugh.

Pese a lo que digan los médicos, solo introduciendo vibraciones internas y menopausia en Google estos síntomas aparecen en muchos foros, así que como todas ustedes, me atrevo a discrepar. Tuve unos saltos internos terribles y temblores externos junto con descargas en la cabeza. Tomé propranolol y diazepam de forma intermitente. Me ayudaron un poco, pero odio decirlo, nada lo eliminó por completo, pero quizás lo hizo un poco más soportable en los días realmente malos. Este síntoma me volvió loca. Con el tiempo, gradualmente se hizo menos y menos y luego, alrededor de 6-7 meses después de la menopausia, desapareció. Mi opinión honesta es que son las hormonas y los medicamentos pueden aliviarlo, pero como están disminuyendo, nada lo detiene por completo. Sigan adelante, señoras, mejorará x
Update: Three medications later...Nothing takes it away. The vibrations have lessoned a bit from earthquake to idle so I can sleep a couple hours through them most of the time. .
I do have a basket full of herbs and supplements that I can't even pronounce left to try that I bought last week...I'm thinking it is just going to take some time to get through this and can't believe there isn't more information .on the net. Some talk
but no cure
So glad I found this forum. I am having these crazy vibrations every night. They wake me up at 3AM and continue until around 7AM..OMG I'm a wreck. I feel like I'm sitting on a washing machine. and my heart seems to skip beats or flutter. Nothing seems to work. tonight I will try cannibis.
Thanks for the update Kay, I'm sorry that nothing works for you yet, hopefully there is something useful in your basket!
I took a dive into hormone replacement therapy and it has become clear to me that bioidentical hormones, issued through plasters, can be a safe and effective remedy for our complaints. I've read several medical research papers about it which are all very clear about the positive effect and safety of this treatment.
Unfortunately the average doctor still prescribes synthetic hormones in pill form, and the wrong hormone (only estrogen), so I ordered some natural progesterone in cream form (which works about the same as the plasters). A well known (female) gynacologist who is specialized in perimenopause also recommends this so I'm confident it can't do any harm.
(She unfortunately has a waiting list of 8 (!) months so i can't get it through her).
The stuff will arrive in 2 weeks and I'm really looking forward to trying this.
I'll let you know if it works or not, meanwhile hang in there, I hope your sleep keep improving. We need our rest don't we, during this awfully bumpy ride:-s
Hi Kay how are you doing with your symptons?
