I've found several forums where there have been posts from people experiencing this disconcerting feeling of an internal quivering or vibration but none of them are current, so I wanted to see if anyone else out there is having the same experience and can share an insight into what might be causing it.
I started to get this feeling of internal vibration when I was mainly lying in bed and then occasionally if I shifted position it might last for 30 seconds or so before disappearing. That was about 8 months ago. Now I feel it every night and during the day as well quite often. The other day after a short walk of a few hundred yards followed by a period of standing still it felt like the ground was vibrating because it was in my feet. It seems to move around to different areas of the body - sometimes I feel it in my legs, an arm, torso - it's quite random but often felt when I've shifted position in bed. At first I thought it was circulatory but now I think it's probably neurological. I thought I was having palpitations but an ECG showed nothing abnormal. I've also had a full spine & brain MRI as I've been having other strange symptoms of occasional numbness and sensations of burning and cold areas of my arms/hands and legs/feet and a sore tongue which comes and goes and often feels like I've just cleaned my teeth with menthol toothpaste when I haven't. I thought I had all the signs of MS, but it hasn't been diagnosed. I've also had a number of blood tests for immune issues, evoked potentials and nerve conductivity tests. Nothing! The MRI does show a lot of wear to my cervical vertebrae and two anterior spondylolisthesis - one cervical, one lumbar, so I wonder if my spinal issues could be the cause. My neurologist was doubtful. He also couldn't explain the vibration sensation except to say that it can be caused by a migraine, which I certainly haven't had.
I just don't know where to go with this now. My GP isn't interested and puts everything down to stress which I AM under it's certainly true to say, but I don't think she's right. I've had to pay for all my neuro investigations as a result because she won't refer me or do any more blood tests etc. I'm trying homeopathy, osteopathy and acupuncture as I want to find something that will relieve these weird symptoms and prefer to avoid drugs if I can.
I'm 58, eat reasonably heathily, no alcohol, only 1 cup of coffee a day and my weight is normal. I broke my wrist badly at the end of August last year which is when my problems all seemed to start. i
I also wonder if the metal plate that was used to fix the fracture could be causing some kind of strange reaction.
If anyone else is having these symptoms please let me know if you've been able to identify the cause and how to deal with it.
I don't have that, but have read many posts here from people who have. This seems to be one of the symptoms of anxiety.
When most of us get on anti anxiety meds (even if only for a while) we begin to get some relief and get calm enough to find ways we can help ourselves deal with this. That's how I found this forum. Lots of help and good advice here, girl. Hugs, Sally
Ja. Nicht unbedingt am gleichen Ort. Ich kenne andere Menschen, die dieselben Empfindungen haben, ohne Angstprobleme. Ich denke, es ist einfach nur so eine seltsame Körpererscheinung. Ich ignoriere es und warte, bis es von alleine verschwindet, um ehrlich zu sein. Es ist allerdings seltsam. Ich nehme keine Medikamente ein, also ist es auch keine Nebenwirkung.
I haven't had the vibration symptoms, but have seen others post about it. However, I do get the hot/cold hands and feet, also some numbness and tingling. Many times it feels like the tip of my tongue has been burned, and will sometimes last for days.
It's a shame that your doctor won't refer you, and you're stuck paying out of pocket for all of the expensive tests.
Everyone would like to avoid taking medication for anxiety, but sometimes that does more harm than good. Medication isn't a life sentence, but it's a tool that can be used to help get you over this rough patch. I hope you find some help very soon, and the symptoms go away.
Das hat mich nur dazu gebracht, das zu googeln. Mhm. Scheint, als würden viele Leute darüber reden. Die Art und Weise, wie die technischeren Seiten darüber sprechen, stimmt nicht einmal mit dem überein, was die Leute, die darüber reden, sagen. Haben Sie schon einmal versucht, sublinguale B12 zu nehmen oder Ihren Homöopathen nach einer B12-Injektion zu fragen? Es wird als Verbindung dazu angegeben. Vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum ich nie darüber nachgedacht habe, ich bekomme Injektionen dafür. Ich denke nur, dass der Körper aus irgendeinem Grund seltsame Dinge tut. Ich denke, das ist tatsächlich eine extrem häufige Sache, nachdem man im Internet herumgesurft ist. Ich denke nicht, dass es nur eine Angst Sache ist.
Since you've not said anything about feeling anxious,or over whelmed, I guess it's not anxiety. When you have anxiety,you feel that and everything else times 10. Hopefully since nothing was found so far with the tests you've had, maybe it will pass. I'm 57 and everyday,there is a new ache or pain. I can imagine what you are going through,it's disconcerting. Oh life,always something going on with our bodies. I hope this goes away for you.
Sally I have neuropathy and oh boy it causes just what you mentioned I have to work. would love to talk more when i had ear balance and inner ear. I also had these .the ground vibrated. is it a nerve in the body quivering? wanted to ask that. will read again later. hang in there.
Hast du jemals herausgefunden, was los ist? Ich konnte es nicht glauben, als ich es gelesen habe, weil mir jedes einzelne dieser Dinge passiert. Das Seltsamste ist der Zungenschmerz. Ich habe auch verrückte Summen für medizinische Tests ausgegeben. Alle meine Autoimmun-Tests beim Rheumatologen waren unauffällig. Ich habe auch ein klares Gehirn- und Rückenmark-MRT sowie normale Blutwerte. Die einzige Abnormalität, die aufgetreten ist, ist ein Bandscheibenvorfall im Nacken. Ich bin 27 Jahre alt. Mir wurde auch von einem Neurologen gesagt, dass es Angst ist. Ein Freund empfahl mir, etwas Unkonventionelles zu tun und letzte Woche einen Chiropraktiker aufzusuchen. Er sagte, er glaube, dass all diese Probleme von meinem Nacken stammen, und setzte mich auf einen dreimonatigen Behandlungsplan, der mich 1.500 $ kosten würde. Ich versuche zu entscheiden, ob ich damit einverstanden sein soll, aber ich frage mich, ob es die Ursache meines Problems ist. 1.500 $ ist viel Geld für mich, um es auszugeben und keine Linderung zu finden. Bitte antworte so schnell wie möglich.
Hi, I wish I could tell you I had found out the cause of my symptoms but I have no answers yet. Some of them seem to have eased off - the menthol tongue sensation hasn't been bothering me as much, but the vibration hasn't gone away. This morning I could feel it in my chest and I can feel it with my fingers under the skin so it's not something imagined. I've also been getting a lot of palpitations - PACs - which my GP tells me are nothing to worry about following a Holter monitor and echocardiogram check. I do have neck problems and regularly see an osteopath for maintenance on my back & neck. I did look at a special treatment called Atlas Profilax which is supposed to treat misalignment of the Atlas vertebra. I thought it might resolve some of my peculiar issues but my osteopath warned me off it as there is a question of it being dangerous. I don't know whether your chiro is suggesting anything like this - there are a few other similar types of treatment, Atlas Orgthoganal is another one. You may like to check it out if you're in the US and ask your chiro if his treatment is along these lines. To be honest I've been more preoccupied with my palpitations of late than my other neuro symptoms so have been focussing on them less. I think anxiety does have a big part to play but it's also a vicious circle that's very hard to break. I don't know what to advise you to do about the proposed treatment from the chiro. It might be worth a second opinion from an osteopath as they have different methods. I've never been to a chiro myself. Good luck - let me know if you decide to go for it and if you find it's helping.
I've just started feeling this. Vibrating in my feet and palms. I've been under a lot of stress for a couple of years and sometimes I go along time during the day without eating. When my stress elevates, boy, there they are. Sleep resets the vibrations and my hands also have vasospasms where they will sting. I circulate my neck and the spasms temporarily subside. Doing cardio and improving my endurance minimized the symptoms. I can actually sometimes slow my thinking down and control the rhythm of the vibrating. Definitely anxiety. I've experienced this for about 4 years now. Anyone else experience this?
