I love that you addressed how "when something can't be visualized or quantified or measured, its just dismissed"!
It can be measured and identified as a low amplitude high frequency tremor/vibration.
thank you for talking about internal tremors. I’m 54 and this scares the hell out of me. I feel the internal tremors almost always when tired or sleeping. Often I wake up thinking there’s an earthquake. I feel the vibrations in my legs, body, arms, and I swear I feel it inside my organs. I often wonder if it’s panic attacks. If I fall asleep in the chair and suddenly wake up my whole body will be vibrating. I hate going to sleep because the bed feels like it’s shaking, but it’s all internal. I do have a stressful management job where I tend to work 9-10 hours straight without breaks or lunch. I also have hypothyroidism, 73 inches tall, and weigh 190 lbs. please please please keep this RUclips channel updated-it feels safer knowing there’s others with the same experiences.
I'm glad i'm not the only one feeling the earthquake like tremor when I woke up.
Hi. Also 54 yo and dealing with this over the last few months. No external tremor. Mostly vibration in chest shortly after falling asleep. Grappling with other (non neuro) health conditions so maybe anxious deep down. However, I usually don’t feel anxious until the vibration occurs.
I just had my first internal vibration
I take B1 and magnesium to sleep and controls the tremors. Also potassium has helped.
I have this lately too. I'm also 54. I think it's because I had a really bad anxiety flare up for weeks and had my body in fight or flight mode for too long.
Does anyone else get internal tremors when sleeping, I wake up with them and it's very distressing. They go after 5 minutes or come back when sitting for over and hour.
Yes I sometimes wake up because of them they stay for mins or even hour for me ig
@@sincereboy7992 So its not just me then. Thanks for leaving a comment. Its very strange it happens mostly when I'm asleep. Its as if the brain takes over controlling my inner tremors when I'm not in control and sleeping.
Yes with heart palpitations sometimes also😭😭
Just had this it seems to happen when I’m extremely tired
@@dri_driella1227 did it go away
I have these for a few years now! I feel like my bed is moving, like an earthquake!! Few seconds I'm terrified, "waiting for the disaster"?!!! I thought I'm sick, and nobody would believe it!! Thank you so much for this ♥️🙏
Same. Feels like a small earthquake. Didn’t think I was stressed about anything.
I have gotten migraine like symptoms a couple times recently as well. I only get migraines every couple years.. so that was different..
Also had covid 18 months ago. No shots.
Same. Any relief lately?
I just wanted to update everyone on this post- I am feeling extremely better. I had low vitamin D levels and elevated cortisol levels. I am working on destressing and I can finally walk again. I am about 7 months in and I am still getting better everyday. I took many herbs and supplements that help with "adrenal fatigue" support. I only feel the tremors now when I push my body too far or have a very stressful day. Other than that- I no longer have dizziness, fatigue, or muscle weakness.
How are you now ?
Thank you Alexis for your kindness...I'm so happy you're feeling better! HUG~ 🤗
*PS Alexis, Can you please share what Adrenal Support brands you use, supplements, etc? Thank you.
Ashwaganda can be too strong if Adrenal fatigue has progressed to stage 4
This gives me hope.
I've just found this channel (April 2024). Wow! Just wow! For 62 years, I was diagnosed as a lazy hypochondriac and hysterical woman. Then I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and ME, with OI and a few other bits, but all through it, there has been this internal tremor everyone has ignored. I've often described it as feeling like my nerves are all a-twitter. Rather like the sound a grove of trees where all the birds are jockeying for perches at sunset, but in tremor form.
After brain scans for a visible leg tremor, specialists say I do not have PD or ET. They don't know what that is.
In addition, I constantly have "a thousand cicadas on a sunny day" screaming in my head. It is in my head, not my ears. My hearing tests are perfect, but with background noise, I can hear very little. Isn't life so interesting?
The best I have heard from any medical professional.
You are an amazing, compassionate, empathetic and kind doctor. I wish the doctors I see were more like you!
I’ve had these tremors or body shaking while I’m sleeping and feel it when I wake up. Mostly in my feet and head- and my brain shakes - get tremors on the side of my temples-
Later on in the day, my eyes start to tear (profusely) - and I feel like I’m having a concussion-
-Usually every night.
-It lasts for about 7 -10minutes-
- I’ve had a tooth bacteria problem around the time this started- a few months ago.
-I’ve been on antibiotics-( my neurologist thinks this has an effect- )
-I also have felt an electrical feeling going through my body as well.
I’m so glad to have found you- this is so scary!
Your channel gives me comfort-thank you
Internal tremors scared me to death! I thought my heart was totally out of rhythm. Cardiologists put me through extensive testing but found no defect. Finally realized that lidocaine in muscle rub along with migraine med that includes caffeine were the causes. Caffeine is a major trigger for my ET. I didn't realize lidocaine would cause tremors. Learned that lesson.
Internal tremors can be completely healed. Praise God mine were! I had a severe life threatening health crash due to toxic mold exposure, high stress, etc. One of the horrible 32 plus symptoms that happened to me was a constant super loud and intense tremor. Like I was wearing a intense full body vibrating suit. Yuck!! Also,, POUNDING tachycardia, extreme EMF sensitivity where I was feeling like I was being electrocuted while I tried to sleep (the worst feeling ever!), etc. etc. Three years into this continuum I found a functional medicine practitioner who started me taking moderate to then higher magnesium glycinate to combat my extreme insomnia. That started to help quiet tremors and tachycardia. Then I learned about HPA Axis Dysfunction and realized the reason for the bizarre symptoms. I started taking Humic Fulcic Acid and it praise God stopped the tremors after years of suffering. 😊It took years to fully recover from all of the symptoms but I am here to give you hope that it is possible with God! Learn about and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, calm the sympathetic nervous system, leaky gut healing, detoxification, highest nutrition possible, spiritual peace will all help you to get well. God bless!
Hi Dr. Sullivan. I truly appreciate this talk. I’ve experienced a “buzzing” in my legs off and on for years now. I also get a feeling like a salt shaker shaking in my head. I’ve started seeing a neurologist finally because I have more recently begun to have visible uncontrolled movements. I’m reluctant to tell her about these internal symptoms because I think she will dismiss them as psychological and maybe not believe me about the outward symptoms that my family and friends have observed. Thanks for your support.
Im so glad I’ve read this! Many years ago I was under high emotional stress. I started to feel this buzzing feeling in my vagina!! It felt that there was a phone on vibrating mode. As you said, to speak to a doctor about this, would elicit immediately the “boxing” effort of your doctors to try and “find a box”where to fit your complaint, this happened on and for a few months. I assumed it was related to my scoliosis and I just lived with it till it disappeared. Today I’m 68 diagnosed with multiple myeloma and found I had three lesions on my spine, one of which is cancerous. Had I gone to the doctors (of which the mayoritario are make), it would have been diagnosed as some psychological problem related to menopause or “empty nest” Syndrome …
Did you had this the all day.
I've had a mild case of familial ET for about 10 years now. For about the last two years I've been occasionally experiencing the sensation of resting tremors in my hands or back muscles when I go to bed. My wife noticed it and says it's barely perceptible (proof it's not all in my head) but I can definitely feel it, which leads me to believe it's more internal than external. It usually lasts for only a minute or two, goes away when I reposition my body, and I never experience it when I'm up and about. I don't have panic attacks so I don't associate this with anxiety. I thought perhaps it was just me but I see that many other people have similar experiences. This video was very enlightening. I'm glad I subscribed to the ICFYB channel after stumbling on one of the previous videos on ET.
Mine is similar. It happens when I stop moving my leg and lasts for a couple of minutes then stops. If I reposition it starts over.. shakes when I stop moving it then stops again. Mine happens once I stop moving. It’s like the muscle takes a minute to turn off.
I wish, wish, wish you could be my doctor. I have internal tremor, but also POTS, balance issues, trouble walking, etc. My doctors have ALL said it's depression/ anxiety, and I KNOW it's not.
same!!!!! They said the same thing to me!!!!'
Have you considered Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
Some times they don’t know what’s going on and don’t want to spend time trying to find out. They’ll let the other specialist handle it.
I believe that this is attached to other auto immune conditions. I have similar issues to you, plus I have also experienced Vaso Vagal Syncope over many years plus Raynaud’s Phenomenon.
I believe that the condition comes first which might then deliver worry/anxiety.
The internal tremor for me feels like it could be the very start of Vaso Vagal Syncope. So when I experience it…. I am becoming focussed on the sensation, because I have to keep myself safe incase I go down.
Wow I’m dealing with this now, and every doctor I go to tell me it’s a “case of anxiety “
I have MS and I feel buzzing in my pelvic area, legs and arms. I am not on any meds that could be causing it. I do have a lot of anxiety but I don't feel like it's causing that sensation. And thanks for acknowledging how poorly patients get treated by some medical professionals when they have strange symptoms.. it's happened to me many times and a few of those have been extremely traumatizing. 😔😑
I totally relate, and I'm a Family Physician of 32 years of practice!
I hate being viewed as an uncomfortable truth!
Thanks I was beginning to think I was crazy 🤣 this is such a weird feeling.
@@kath3611when do you have the internal tremor?
I started feeling these internal tremors after I had Covid .. it’s such an annoying feeling especially in my chest and legs
Sir you appointed in which category dictor? Medicine or neurologist
Me too, they started after a viral infection in March 2020 (probably Covid, but I didn't get tested at the time). I'm still having them now.
Klein same here. I also can't tested so far
It’s in my genital & cervix ( no it’s no fun)
It’s now spreading further, down my leg & up my my torso to my chest
Dr suggests a hysterectomy
@@kleinezeikerd did it go away
Hello everyone :) I am here again to take about my progress. I have had adrenal fatigue/ HPA axis dysfunction for over 2 years now. The first year was *hell* but after around month 8 I was pretty much back to normal. I still have a few lingering symptoms here and there but for the most part i am healed. I do not get the tremors anymore unless I am pushing my body or mind too much. They are almost like a warning sign to me that I am taking on too much. No doctor was ever able to tell me why I was having the symptoms, I went to a holistic (functional) doctor and she helped me balance my hormones. I also have PCOS so with that I have always had hormonal imbalances because of stress here and there. I hope I give you all hope because it will pass with time and knowledge on what to do.
Hi l have pcos .. dis you have internal vibrations and dis it come from adrenals? What was given to help you
Doctor reference Pl.....are u in India
Please refer Doctor...
This is pretty non useful information if you 1, do not reply to others, 2, do not mention what you did or take for healing. You basically just are telling that you are doing better...
@@anniezion if you keep scrolling you’ll see that I commented on this video several times before updating everyone of my progress but way to be negative 🥰
Thank you for this. I had a brain injury 24 years ago, and this is first time i feel like i am not alone in having these internal tremors. Mine feel similar to shivering with cold, except that i am not cold and it is not externally seen. I used to think it was an alcohol reaction as that is when they mostly happened, but since i now avoid all alcohol, they still happen. Often when i am happy and perhaps overstimulated. Definitely not when i am anxious. It hasn’t super worried me, probably because i have so many other weird symptoms that are usually dismissed. Another thing, lots of things like these tremors have improved by dramatically increasing my salt intake, which makes me think it is a low BP thing. Thanks again for talking about this
Thank you for this video. I feel this at night in my legs, back and back of my head. It feels like when you have coffee jitters but more extreme. My hubby can’t see or feel it. It keeps me up every night 😑
Since I have had my DBS surgery it seems that my internal tremor has minimized. Thank you for all that you do.
What is DBS ?
I have not been diagnosed with a neurological disorder. I do suffer from fasciculations in my legs, almost nonstop, and occasionally in various other body parts.
I saw a neurologist in 2021 who cleared me of als, but didn’t look into any other conditions. 2.5 months ago I began experiencing internal tremors as I was falling asleep. I was a smoker, and switched to vaping when changing careers just over a year ago. I noticed the tremors were more prevalent when vaping, and so I have gone back to cigarettes unfortunately. The tremors are less frequent, but still visit me 2-3 times a week. Sometimes as I am falling asleep, sometimes they wake me up, and sometimes as I’m waking up.
My episodes tend to go away when I’m active. So if I get up and move around they stop and I’m either able to go back to sleep, or get ready for my day.
Prior to my in depth research, it was speculated that it’s either ET, PD, or MS. However, I also found that it can be linked to neck curvature applying pressure on the spinal cord.
Considering the fasciculations in my legs and at times throughout my body, I’m scared it might be MS, and that my smoking and vaping played a role in progression, but I’m also hopeful that it might be due to my poor posture and that with prolotherapy/curve correction it might go away altogether.
Anyway, it is somewhat relieving to know that I’m not alone in this terrifying nightmare that is Internal Tremors, and I’m happy to see that professionals in the field are not just taking it seriously, but also studying and researching it, too.
Thank you for this great information it has helped me understand what I have been going through.
I started feeling the internal vibrations about a 5 months ago when I had Covid. I was isolated in my own house upstairs in our spare bedroom. I would wake up thinking the bed was vibrating. Never thought it was me. Then it went away and I would have it come back again when I was sleeping in my main bed. I would wake up thinking the bed was vibrating. I would wake my wife and asked her if she felt the bed vibrating. Of course she didn't feel anything on the bed or on my body. My wife was sick recently and I slept upstairs and again waking up or just falling asleep and having this issue. Tonight I fell asleep at my computer desk and woke to this vibration. Now I realized 100% that it is me. My wife and son put their had to my chest and hear nothing but a strong heart beat. IT was really bad for about 15 minutes now almost an hour later, I still feel it but very faint. This is just crazy. No pain just vibrations though out the body. Felt most in my torso. Good times. Glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with this.
Did it get resolved for u now? Im also got this post Covid
I have the same but I have MS. I take magnesium glycinate and potassium supplements for it and it helps for me.
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS) for 20+ yrs. When I feel a body crash (PEM) coming on my brain will vibrate. I need to lay in bed quickly and rock my body back and forth until I can fall asleep. When I wake up I feel a bit better but am extremely exhausted. This is very common in the ME/CFS community with little education as to what it is. thank you for this video so I can share with others.
Mine is continuous, it never stops, it developed after taking metoclopramide twice, I’ve had two neurologists including a professor evaluate me, emg revealed nothing, nerve conduction study nothing, tremor study said no sinister cause. I do have a mild external tremor, but the internal tremor is by far the worst.. and they say it’s psychological, this infuriates me and makes me feel helpless. It’s not psychological, I know in my entire being it isn’t, it’s worse when I lay down, it’s worse after sleeping. When I have a lack of sleep it’s also worse. Im so exhausted and I just wish I could find some help. I’ve had it now for 18 months, I’m 35 year old male and I want to be the best version of myself, there is no way that this is mild or in my mind. It’s so uncomfortable and it effects every area of my life.
mine started in 2021 and I've not had one single minute of relief since then
Why hasn't Vagus Nerve damage been mentioned at all as a possible cause of these internal vibrations?
Thank you. 5 years ago my internal tremors started. It wakes me up during night sometimes but usually I am only aware of it on waking from sleep. I reported it to a doctor but she didn't understand and recently to a new doctor and she also didn't understand. I am going to ask my new GP to visit this RUclips page. I had my first PANIC attack aged 12 and it reoccurred aged 29. A doctor placed me on MELLERILL for my anxiety and panic. I was on MELLERILL until ages 36 so about 5 years on 10mg. I stopped using MELLERILL aged 37 when my obstetrician told me to stop it. I still experience anxiety. I am a very sensitive person and find when I drink tea ie early grey tea or other teas stimulants stress in my system so I usually do not drink tea/coffee as I feel calmer when I do not drink it. I love my tea, had 3 cups yesterday so occasionally I treat myself. But this video has answered my questions. I have been searching for 5 years due to this internal brain vibration. I told my sister it is similar to your mobile on vibration when it is in your pocket. Thank you.
I have had a problem with internal tremors for a few years. It presents mostly on my left side. My face (feels like it's on fire! When it's really bad my face feels like it is burning), my chest (feels like an earthquake. I can see why people go to the emergency room because they feel like they're having a heart attack. My only help has been Baclofen). My experience has nothing to do with anxiety! This isn't a "buzzing" feeling...it feels like I'm really shaking in my chest. When it started, I would get motion sickness. I feel like my face is on fire...like a burning feeling. Thank you for your support. You may not realize how much of a difference it makes just to have someone recognize this is a real problem.
I just discovered your channel, thank you so much!
I have these , Ive never really heard anyone talk about them like this before. For me , I believe it is related to a birth trauma and possible damage to the parasympathetic never - they are also correlated to synesthetic experiences and reactions to stimulus of colors and sounds. Some times if they are extreme they can bring on nausea and migraine.
Just watch EONutrition on B1 - you'll be blown away and probably get rid of your tremors. If Parkinson's patients can eliminate 80% of their symptoms in 3 mo.on B1, it probably would help you. Just be patient to get the right dose. Elliot talks a lot about the parasympathetic nervous system which I believe is my problem also. After 2 weeks of a gradually increased dose of thiamine, I'm already seeing some improvement in the inner nervousness I've felt for 3 mo. This morn. I woke up and didnt' have it which was just never happened before because I was always worse in the morning. You can heal, Carmen
Hi, I’m just learning in the past week that I’m not alone with this. I’ve had IT problems for over twenty years not knowing what was going on with me. I’m so thankful for finding this site.
I find when I get the tremors I get anxiety and palpitations with it, I’ve always told my husband that my “nerves” are bothering me. The first time this happened the paramedics gave me a paper bag to breathe in, and it helped me deal with it. If there is other ways I would like to know.
Thank you so much for bringing up this horrible symptom. I have had internal vibrations for 2 years. Iam more used to it now ,but it still makes me frustrated. I have had anxiaty my whole life but i have never had this symptom before. It happens when i wake up. And when iam relaxing.... It happens in my chest ,my legs ,my feet my stomack and my head. But mostly in my chest and legs.I have heart palpitations when iam at rest as well.
Same. Have you noticed any decrease in the feeling?
This is exactly what I'm feeling, mainly in my chest and my heart races to get them during the day but it's worst when I fall asleep 😢
@@traceyjoubert7361 do your best to stop any caffeine in coffee, tea, soda. That has helped me. Especially those palpitations you’re getting. My twin that has those as I do, had a small stroke and was told she has Afib. Atrial fibrillation of the heart. My husband has heart problems and has had to stop caffeine. See if the heart flip flops stop or lessen after stopping. The doc here said to stop caffeine also. Don’t forget to see a doctor about that. Especially if you felt you had to take the shot upon the unlawful mandate. Too many younger persons are collapsing and dying from heart attacks. I make herbal tinctures for my heart. Hawthorn berry, flower and leaf, and Arjuna.
This is exactly how i feel
@@traceyjoubert7361how are you doing now?
I just found your channel, and it's been great. You clearly know what you're talking about. I graduated #1 in computer science and now live disabled with cognitive problems due to a daily benzodiazepine prescription (not to mention being in drug withdrawal for 5yrs). I'm concerned because I need some sort of help with my symptoms including tremor, and I feel like I can't keep going like this, but doctors keep trying to put me on medications that affect benzodiazepine receptors which is the only no-no we know of. What can I do in my position to get help? I feel like I've been ejected from society and humanity along with it. No specialist wants to touch me, but 20yrs of experience in the health system has taught me that typically they want to run tests, schedule a follow-up, etc. I'm scared.
I had a house fire and had tremors every night for months...they had stopped but every time I get stressed now they come back.
As my ET has progressed I’ve had more and more instances of internal tremors. Find out my DBS surgery date on Sept 16th meeting with my neurologist and the neurosurgeon! It’s can’t happen soon enough! Every week I find there is another skill I can no longer do by myself. I’m fighting to not give up but it’s getting harder!
How r you now
@@bridarby2299 , I am doing well, thank you. I had my first DBS surgery on Oct. 20.2020....and my second DBS surgery on May 18 (just a couple of weeks ago). The 2nd unit has not been turned on yet. They are waiting for swelling to subside and will turn it on June 17th!
I’m so glad your talking about this subject. It’s also interesting that each group affected are feeling this internal tremor in a different area of the body as though different parts of the central nervous system is affected. I’ve heard that if a doctor places a stethoscope on the affected area ,the tremor sounds like a distant helicopter. Have you heard of this? Thank you for your great channel.
My tremors never stop. 24/7 they are there. The intensity varies. Every day life stimulants, such as shopping or talking to people intensify the shaking. I wake up often during the night because of them. I have had this for years now. I am at the point now where I am more accepting of the shaking. It may sound mad but I try now to enjoy it. When it intensifies I lay down to enjoy the ride.
Heard someone on a youtube video say that it may have something to do with your cervical spine,m (neck area). Maybe part of the spine is constantly putting pressure on a nerve that cause the tremors. Try to have an xray done. Worth the try!
Thank you
Same here
The only way I've been able to make someone understand "exactly" what I'm feeling is like this: You were ALMOST hit head on by another car, and you're shaking SO BADLY, on the inside, that you have to just pull over and sit there and cry, because you're shaking SO BAD...but inside. And this feeling goes on and on and on...ALL DAY...from the moment I wake up, until I fall asleep...EVERY DAMN DAY.
i have this too but not all the time, and i wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. I am so sorry you have to feel this all day and I am asking God right now to take this away from you because i know the torture that it causes. My heart is with you
@@caseypmakeup Thank you so much Casey! I'll pray for you too, as I know you're suffering this as well. It truly is the most frustrating feeling in the world.
Do you still have it?😢
Thanks as always Dr. Sullivan. I truly feel and appreciate your care.
I’d like to add my internal tremor experience. I feel them mostly in my butt, pelvis, legs, but sometimes I do feel them all over. When they are at their most intense, I hear noise in my head also. It’s been 3+ years since internal tremors started and just in the last 9 months I’ve had some visible twitches in my chin, neck and knees. I have ET in my family but am still not 100% certain that’s what it is. I think part of my problem is accepting that I have ANOTHER condition. I have an extensive medical history, a lot of which affected me neurologically, so I’m always wondering if ET is really my dx. You have helped me so much and I do have a neurologist who listens and cares, but, as soon as I feel safe to venture out into this scary world, especially in a medical setting, I intend to seek a movement disorder specialist and/or a neuropsychologist, and ask about my brain injury in more detail. Thanks again. You’re a Godsend.
How are you now
Does the sound you hear sound like a helicopter? Like the fluttering?
i was on Depakote for 9 years for a seizure disorder This is how Depakote affected me it caused massive weight gain, memory loss, a hand tremor a one point i stoped eating i had no appitite i was severly depressed and suisidal . i was taken off but still had a small tremore this is my personal experience of the medication and i know that everyone will react diffrently to any kind of medication
now i have a tremor in my left hand as it is my nondominante and my right hand also shakes not a big shake but i can feel it even if no one sees
I've been having them for the past 3 years when I'm falling asleep and when I'm waking up. I was doing lots of spiritual practices so I thought it was because my chakras were doing thier thing and I thought it was a kundalini awakening! I feel them mostly in the base of my back then through out my whole body. It feels nice to me though kind of soothing and I couldn't see myself shaking so I didn't worry about it. I recently started having really crazy panic attacks and toilet anxiety. I have a new partner and he woke me up one night to tell me that the bed is vibrating and it's coming from me. I lost both my parents to cancer in the space of 2 years 3 years ago. My sisters are grieving outwardly, 7 stages text book grief but I seem to be alright with it all outwardly. I decided to seek help and at 41 years old I have now been diagnosed with autism. Now everything makes sense.
Just started watching this thank you. Video starts around 3:15
Thank you for this video, I see that I'm not the only one, you explain some of my questions.
I've had internal tremor for the last 5 years but it was so subtle (only felt it was there when it stopped for a fraction of a second). It has been like that until 2 months ago when it started being more obvious. At first it was very light and intermittent but for 2 months it gradually became more obvious and now is every time I sleep (even when I take a nap in the afternoon), everywhre in my body and now sometimes when awake. Now it's all the time, even some external tremor is visible but for short periods of time. Sometimes I feel my leg shaking and weak when walking. When I get up from bed in the morning I feel my legs week and shaky so I lean down with my forearms on the mattress for a few seconds before I walk. Then I have problems keeping balance when I walk, sometimes during the day as well.
I feel very tired all the time as well. I suspect PD with only internal tremor. I have a family friend that had that and died of it. I can't find anything on the web explaining that type of PD.
I do not have any stress in my life, I'm retired and do only things I like to do. We have an excellent retirement my husband and I, no reason for anxiety
I'm afraid this could be gradually getting to be PD, that's the only thing that stresses me out!
I've consulted with family doctor but it takes forever to get appointments for EMG or others.
Anybody with same progression as me? I'm checking on RUclips or the web and don't get any answers...they all talk about anxiety which I don't have. 😕Dominique
Do you have palpitations. I have these vibrations for six years now. May be it's anxiety and some deficiency.
another video called it "Adrenal Fatigue" ... which fits my situation perfect... a health scare got me
Well tbh my anxiety was brought on my a medical scare too which wasn't a real problem at all .. how long did you have to go through this? Anything that worked on you?
I am experiencing this right now. The first time I felt it I woke up and thought my bed was shaking. Now I have been finding at almost all moments I am trying to drill in on if I am feeling it throughout the day. It is hard for me to explain it, but I also suffer from hypochondrism. My biggest thing is trying not to have an episode associated with anxiety and hypochondria because I had a very bad anxiety attack last year associated with medical things I thought I had. This is different though. I know I feel this and I really feel it at night when I am sleep all over my body. It even wakes me up. I have had low vitamin D so I think I will go to get some vitamin D and see if that helps. Otherwise, I don't have any diagnosis of ET, PD or MS. I also haven't told this to my doctor yet. I am nervous.
Hi I also have it it's scary and when I am awake I have twiching, I feel lonely and scared, I want to talk to u if u got this plz hi, I will like to keep in touch.
You might consider D3 instead of D. D3 is water soluable so it cannot build up and cause overdose. This is important because so many food/drink items are D fortified, plus time spent in the sun has your body creating more D.
The woman who birthed me is severly hypochondriac and one of my greatest fears is becoming her, so whenever some symptom is bothering me, I ignore it. I've ignored some pretty serious things. I ignored the pain in my hip for 8 years, until moving it made sometimes me scream randomly, it was bursitis, I could have been medicated all that time. I ignored belly pain until I went septic. I injured my shoulder and ignored the pain for a year, my rotator cuff was completely torn in half all the way around. I ignored my back pain for a year, my L5 vertebrae was crushed. Currently and for the last two years I've been ignoring a spot on my back that is very likely a basel cell carcinoma. I'm telling myself it is probably nothing, I'm just being a hypochondriac, and if it really is a basel cell carcinoma, it's slow growing and so not a big deal. Soooo... I finally admitted this to my primary, the stupid little spot, I put my own feet to the fire. Now I have to make an appt. Moral of the story? Even if we are hypochondriacs, it doesn't mean we can't become sick or injured. I don't live on medical websites, but when a symptom(s) lasts too long and is bothering me, I look it up, read the various possibilities, and discover I do not have all the other symptoms that go with it, "voila!" I feel better already. Eventually whatever symptom goes away. Except for this internal vibration. This is so exceptionally bizarre for me.
How have you been? Did the vitamin d work for you?
Don’t know if u still follow this string but I have episodes of internal tremors - sometimes for days - and yes they “feel” like they are moving thru digestive system - and began w Covid vac injury - no one - so many questions and no one (mds) even acknowledges this - big thanks!
The internal tremors started Nov 2019 after a dose of Cipro; then Lyme disease, now mold toxicity. I am still trembling daily. It feels like shivering from being too cold. I also can't regulate my body temperature, so I swing from sweating to freezing many times a day.
Take extra B1, magnesium and potassium.
Does anyone else have internal tremors and tinnitus? I have tremors mostly in my legs and constant tinnitus. Looking for any ideas as to what could be the cause. Thanks!
yes. I do.
I do.
I have a very bad tremor since 3 years, it is there everyday, makes me bedbound most of the time with other symptoms. The tremor is located basically from the brainstem down to the spinal cord. So it feels like a line from the head through the neck, chest and abdominal area. Its high frequency. The tremor makes the life quality really low. I accept it but its really tough when others dont see the suffering this causes and that its real and not yet reasearched about enough.
Would focused ultrasound help this? I have had ET at least 60 years and now it is very tiring. But after a few months in a wheelchair (from a fall) I am very grateful to be able to go for a short walk!
I have the same exact thing It is reducing the quality of my life
I love you, thank you for your caring & kindness...New subscriber...Sending HUGS from my ♡ to your ♡.
Yes. A few years ago when I was under a lot of stress when I would go to bed I felt like an old refrigerator that was plugged in ... everything inside vibrated. My Chiropractor helped a lot and also adjusting my attitude and some life-style changes. I want my cerebellum replaced. Dr Karl Manson in Albuquerque was very receptive to what was going on with me but also insisted that I see a neurologist but frankly he did more for me than the Neurologist did.
Thank you Mam 🙏🌼 for this info.
I've had interal tremors for about 7 years now. I woke up with a migraine after 3 days I went to the emergency room..The ER gave me something for the pain that didn't work and ran a bunch of test. Cat scan came back nothing was wrong. ER doctor told me I had the flu I told the ER I dont think I have the flu because I had absolutely no symptoms of the flu just a horrible migraine. ER told me to go home and take advil or tylenol. I spent a month with severe migraines. Now I have internal tremors. Been to a few doctors over it only to be not heard. I gave up on finding a doctor to help me find out what can be done for the interal tremors. Some days are better than others.
Hello!! I am here to update you all again on my progress lol. I sent someone else a message on here earlier so will try to just copy and paste that info because it was all good info to have. Jaden Christopher (a RUclips on here) was a big help in my recovery so id advise you look into this. I had what was called HPA axis dysfunction or adrenal fatigue (i still have this actually but i am in phase 4-5 now and have been going through this for about 18 months now lol) Learn about the different phases on his videos and this may make more sense to you- When i was in those early stages (1-2) i ate very frequently (every 2 hrs) and i usually had rice, ground chicken, veggies. i would also eat a lot of nutritious foods (veggies, beets, lean meats, tuna, fish, etc) BUT PLEASE TRACK YOUR CALORIES - you need to be eating at least enough calories to maintain your weight. You should not be depriving your body of anything during these stages. I now try to eat over 2,000 calories a day but i am weight training 2x per week now. In the beginning i would only walk and in phase 3 i allowed myself to do light weighted workouts. NO HIIT!! Try to not do anything that ups your cortisol in the beginning and if you do - try to do it in the morning. Go outside as soon as you wake up and try to eat as soon as you wake up. No carbs for breakfast - try to get in over 40 grams of protein in for your breakfast. This will help stabilize your blood sugar for the day. Greek yogurt with no sugar before bed every night. I also took minimal supplements and still take the same ones to this day. I also made myself a pink salt drink every morning. Also found out what my body was depleted of and took those supplements as well. I went and had my hormones retested every 3-6 months. By 1 year my hormones were all back to normal. I cut out all processed sugar and white bread as well and that seemed to really help. Also took cortisol manager, magnesium, vit d, probiotic (NO VIT B), no caffeine, nothing to stimulate you... often times talking would also take a lot out of me- getting too excited would be hard too and too angry :( I drank tulsi sweet rose tea twice a day and chamomile tea before bed. Also - meditation is GREAT! Now that i am at the later stages i can take ashwagnda but i would not recommend that until you are stronger. These are just little things i did... everyone is different and everyone will have different deficiencies as well... Get well soon everyone :)
Does anyone do updates? I'm interested to know where you are with this today. Does it ever end? Have you gotten better? Does it lessen in intensity?
I’ve had these off and in for years. To me it felt like I was feeling a light earthquake. I would wake up in the morning and check for seismic activity. Mine was usually in chest. I even thought it may be blood pressure related. I haven’t had this happen but maybe once in the last year. I have not been diagnosed with any health condition and consider myself healthy.
I tend to feel my internal tremor in what feels to be my spine, in my neck. Sometimes it extends down my trunk and legs, but I think it originates from cervical area. I also Atlantoaxial/ Craniocervical Instability, disc herniations and moderate stenosis. I have POTS. My blood pressure goes up when I stand, along with heart rate. I have isolated diastolic hypertension and narrow pulse pressure. I get inappropriate sinus tachycardia in sleep and from changing positions in bed. Tremors are only when lying down, sometimes wake me from sleep, and last months.
How are you now
Can you explain your sinus tr please
Thanks for the info. It helped put this into perspective for me. As you were talking, I remembered that I tried meditating many years ago and that I started feeling this shaking sensation as if energy was coursing up and down my body. The shaky feeling I have now reminds me so much of that energy-like vibration sensation. Quite interesting. To me, it's not so much scary as it is intriguing. I had been wondering if the source is external and now lean more to it being internal.
I have been diagnosed by two neurologists with ET. My symptoms are very bad vocal shaking, head tremors and internal tremors. My IT occurs mainly at night and strong enough to wake me up. My vocal tremors are constant. I find it very debilitating. After a few glasses of wine, my voice is husky but no tremor. I am a 69 year old female.
Hello Again Dr, My internal vibrations feel like the blood inside my body is crawling...I do not have Parkinson's or MS but I do have HIGH ANXIETY...Thank you for your kindness & knowledge and for respecting those of us who know what we feel even though it may not be seen or believed...Dr Patch Adam's would be proud of you! 🤗
Mine too ...
Do you still have those?
@@dawntreacy3431 do you still have the tremors
Yes hun there annoying
@@dawntreacy3431 yes they are😫 it's been a month now🤐
To get rid of my tremors for the most part is liquid sleep aid …I’m almost dependent on it… it works for the most part that I sleep all the way threw the nite and wake up WITHOUT the buzzing… almost like my body is too happy after getting 6* steady hours of sleep to buzz…. Good luck 🍀
I experienced VIOLENT tremors on two occasions. Both times I was going through a kind of sleep paralysis. I the last time it happened I was playing CODM on my bed and I felt myself nodding off. I didn't realize how tired I was. But I felt this... pulse sensation throughout my whole body that came in waves that seemed to hit on random heartbeats. Anyway, after I felt a few of those I got up and walked around before laying on my stomach and continues my game. Apparently a few minutes into lying down, my body gave me the finger and shut down. My mind was still awake so I figured that I could wake myself up, because sleep paralysis has been a regular thing since I can remember. But after I realized I wasn't physically awake, even though I FELT myself try to get up using my arms prop myself up in a push up position. It was like I fell back into myself y'know? After that, I tried to wake up but I couldn't move a muscle, until I started shaking like an off balance washing machine, during the spin cycle and my heart rate skyrocketed to the point that I could hear the blood rushing in my ears. I remember thinking "Not like this. Dude WAKE UP!! GET UP, ROLL OVER OE SOMETHIN, JUST DONT PLAY DEAD!! About that moment, my heart rate slowed back down and I woke up forreal. I shot up outta bed and gasped for air like I was drowning. I went to a few urgent care centers and a health science center, where at each location they tried to say that I was on drugs and told me to leave. I was sober that day but the Substance that I had used was the causeof this "pulsation sensation" that I experienced. I know what my drugs do and this had been happening since before I ever knew what drugs were. Is there a connection here or am I tritrippin?
It wasn't the drugs. I NEVER do drugs and have experienced this!!!
I have internal tremors and periodic fatigue with chronic pain. The fatigue and chronic pain can be mitigated by vitamins and turmeric. However, it doesn't touch the internal tremors. The best way I can describe the internal tremors is what it would feel like laying on the floor in an airport walkway as a DC10 speeds by - rattling and vibration all throughout my body. I have a sibling with ET. No autoimmune disorders or Parkinson's in the family. Wish I knew how to get rid of it - it is a tremendous source of anxiety.
Thank you! I have had horrific internal tremors off and on for 20 years. I am diagnosed with Panic Disorder. However, I have been off and on medications for years and years. I was diagnosed at age 22 and am now 42. All anxiety medications. What I found out very recently is that adrenal fatigue is more than likely the cause of these tremors.
Were you diagnosed with adrenal fatigue by a doc officially? I'm curious, how did you arrive to adrenal fatigue ? Most importantly how are you feeling nowadays ?
I just found another video here by a doctor that described this perfectly and said it was caused by spinal cord tension in the neck. Have you ever had any x-rays or MRI of your neck? Doctors always tell women it's psychological.
I have noticed “vibrating” in my body. I had no idea this is called “internal tremors.”
I first had this in late 2018 and it continued on to worsen in 2019. I think my internal tremors were closely related to high levels of stress and probably vitamin deficiency because I suffer from anxiety and an eating disorder.
I usually get tremors when I’m lied down in bed, most times at night, sometimes in the morning. At first, I thought an earthquake was happening but I noticed that nothing around me seemed to be shaking. I then thought there was a ghost under my bed shaking the bed frame, but I realized the sensation came from inside me/from all of my torso internally.
One of the worst ones I’ve had was when it was paired with an ocular migraine in 2020, where there was a huge zig zag in my vision, as well as a bounding heart. It was morning and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I remember only having one cup of coffee the day before that, but my parents told me I was drinking too much. I felt crazy, but I knew they were tremors.
So far, these tremors have lessened in frequency and I have them less in 2021 and 2022. I’m guessing it’s because my country has practically suspended physical classes, which in turn caused my social anxiety to lessen in general. Though I still have bouts of weird tics because of stress, it’s nothing as intriguing as this. Thank you for the great video, I really wish people knew more about this. The ocular migraine thing paired with the tremors and bounding heart really scared the life out of me, and I was treated like a crazy person!
Oh my gosh. To hear someone mention the zigzag headaches. I started having those as well
You described everything I’ve felt. All the way down to people thinking I’m crazy.
Great info, I have been feeling these at night when I wake for restroom, a slight buzzing all over excluding my head and neck. I am currently going through an ibs episode and struggling with globes. I can only attribute it to my anxiety right now.
Did the head tremors stop ?
Same here 😥
I am almost 50 yrs old. I have never had problems with these tremors until having COVID, Omicron, & 1st dose Pfizer where I got a horribly adverse reaction like a brain injury. Now I have hissing/ringing in ears and tremors in various areas of body when I sleep. Neurosurgeon told me to give it all time to calm down..that my brain is inflammed. If this goes on into the fall, it will be year 2. My neurologist thinks it is anxiety.
It's not anxiety i am 53 yrs old had covid one yr ago and I've been having these internal tremors all over my body. Did 2 ct scan 1 mri 4 blood test seen by a neurologist and still cant get any answer.
It's never anxiety!
Anyone whoever says such nonsense should be so afflicted!
Same as you Kristen. I have tinnitus (hissing i ears) tremors in body while sleeping. It started after i got covid and shots of vaccine.
I have the internal vibrations and the ringing in my ears since having Covid in 2021. I have been to 2 neurologist, ent and a long covid dr. I do have bad anxiety.
I'm scheduled to go have a nerve study done today for the first time at a neurologist and I have internal Tremors with an unknown cause do you think this is a bad idea can this test make them worse
I started feeling these tremors during meditation. It wasn’t that intense so it didn’t bother me that much until this past weeks I began having some muscle twitching in my legs. Then I started to feel this vibrations in my legs constantly. It’s terrifying. I realized that this thing is also causing me anxiety because of the fear that maybe I have a serious illness. But I realized that I have to help myself and take the responsibility. So I stopped drinking coffee and tea and alcohol. I am becoming more aware with what I eat. I am in the process of adapting a healthy lifestyle. When I feel like I’m having anxiety attack, I do breathing exercise..and I practice conscious breathing, it helps a lot. Take care everyone!
Hey how are you feeling now.. I've had the same due to a portion of heavy antibiotics.. it's been 2 months now and doctors say I've anxiety
I first started having tremors and uncomfortable energy I can’t disperse during meditations too. How are you now?
@@Daniela-hn8zl how are you now still have this feelings like vibrating in your body??
my internal tremors go on all the time. my tremors started in my right hand, then up my arm, then my neck, then my left hand and are, now its in my vocal chords (i sound like i'm out of breath all the time) now it's in my lungs which feels horrid, made it to my stomach and upper intestines. I feel like after shocks of an earthquack. its far worse at night, if i can keep my brain busy during the day the internal ones don't feel so bad. but the hands, arms, neck, and vocal chords never stop.
Informative video! I feel my internal tremors in the area of my diaphragm (upper abdomem).
Yes my internal tremors seems to be in my chest area
I have it in my hands and arms, feet and legs, chest and hips. Once I had it in my upper back.
Also experienced the tremors in my upper abdominal area. It all started after my first pfizer shot.
Oh my goodness, thanks so much for this video. I feel them mostly at night, in my core and head. Doc thinks I’m crazy… about 6 weeks now. I really pray this doesn’t turn into Parkinson’s… it’s pretty much every night and can take a few hrs to clear.
How you deal with horrible head twitching? On scalp
I feel this type of internal tremor. Which doctor is best for appointment? Please help
I am not seeing the study links.
I'm a stroke patient. I had tremors after my stroke on my affected side which is my right side. After a year, I now feel my chest and my left arm vibrating. i dont know if this caused by anxiety or the brain damage caused by stroke. Am I the only one who is experiencing this?
My neurologist quit me . He never returns my calls after giving me meds and they don’t work . He says it’s anxiety and I refuse to take anti depressants . I’m not depressed. Tge drs telling me this is making me question myself
I used a red light therapy and it helped .
I believe it’s a good thing he has quit you, I gave up on my neurologist after saying same to me , your depressed or maybe you got
anxiety. One of my granddaughters is a nurse and all she can say is “ you got anxiety. I have body shakes every 4 hours or so when I’m hungry soon as I eat they go away and I can’t get a reason why.
Hope you feeling better and don’t listen to anyone putting you down or saying you depressed.
I was in my 60s and went thru back and leg rehab at the chiropractors office around 2012. I got into the exercise routine. After going several times when I finished for the week I would get a tremor in my leg. I equate it to a phone set on vibration. The noise sounded just like it. Of course I didn't have my phone when it happened. I retired in 2014. I wasn't exercising as much so I began to fall down several times. My legs would feel strange then my legs just collapsed. I went back to work 5 years ago 2017 and have to walk up and down the stairs to punch in/out and for breaks. Knock on wood I haven't fallen. In 1996 I had a lower spine injury from rock climbing and trying to get away from the bees hanging down off the cliff. I turned around slipped and fell hitting my lower spine on the edge of the rock. I ended up with a clear hematoma no blood. Since I was in my early 30s nothing was done about it as t the doctor. When I saw a neurologist he used the test where electrodes were placed up and down my legs. The result was I had little feeling down my leg from the hip to the foot. The other had feeling from the knee down. He gave me gabapentin and it did help. I'm lucky I've not had to be in a wheelchair. My back hurts all the time and I go for a walk to help the pain.
Hi 👋
I have those weird internal tremors for over a month now. I’m 38, rather healthy, non smoking non drinking, leading a healthy life style. For me it started with shaky hands. Then the internal tremors came . I feel them especially at night, they do keep me awake. Also during the day. I also suffer from muscle twitching and aches in different muscles all over my body. I have never been diagnosed with PD, MS or ET. The internal vibrations are horrible and I’ve been to several different doctors, now waiting for consultation with neurologist.
Did it start soon after your covid jab? Mine did.
Could it be adrenal fatigue?
I've just realised I tingly type a vibration when I sit down last few days I thought it was the chair but today I know it's my hind because I could feel it even when I'm standing. What's going on?
I’ve had these for 20 yrs. Ugh!! I have actually thought about the vibration of the soul as well. Ty!
I experienced internal tremors since 5 years ago, i notice this will happen if my body is stress, exhausted or didn't get enough sleep
Hi Dr Sullivan, love what you share with us. Thanks so much. I have mild ET’s but I would like to know what kind of vitamins I should take for brain health. I take a Whole Foods plant based women’s (50+ yrs old & I am 76) vitamin now. Fish oil???
Is this my brain feels like it’s vibrating
Thank you
Thank you!!
I am 55 and at about age 30 I started getting head tremors in the back area of my head. I feel the tremors were brought on by physical or emotional stress and also when I would lay down. I suffer from sleep deprivation and low vitamin d levels . Sometimes I feel the tremors in my chest and a few times in my hands. There is no pain present and the tremors last several hours. Sleeping and resting would usually help them stop. I was put on Paxil for anxiety and the tremors stopped. I now only have the tremors occasionally when I have went for 2 days without the Paxil. I can be forgetful about remembering to take my medication but when I start to feel the tremors it reminds me a missed a dose or 2. I am trying to slowly decrease my Paxil with doctor supervision so I can eventually be off of it,. It is very addictive can you recommend something safer to replace Paxil to keep my tremors away?
Do you feel the tremors when you do certain movements?
Is there any connection between internal tremors and TBI's? Also, when anxiety and tremors in general are present, would there not be an indication that there is a deficiency of GABA since both anxiety and muscle spasm are symptoms that arise when someone does not have enough of the neurotransmitter GABA?
I frequently get internal tremors like 3 to 4 Times a day it's has not been a month since I started getting them so I am not exact about the frequency
Hello. I have this internal shaking which last for several several hours. Mostly in arms, legs, & stomach. Also causes me not wanting to eat. And sum what can be dizzy. I just want this to go away.
Would love to see an update on this … w new research since Covid?
I haven’t been diagnosed with anything yet but I get internal tremors. I liken it to the thrumming of moth wings in my body, organs and legs. I’ve wondered if someone puts their hand on me if they could feel it like you can feel a motor running if you put your hand on the bonnet of a car.
I began "vibrating" about 4 years ago...about a year after menopause....I have a sister 13 years my senior who also has these internal tremors....I was going through an especially stressful period when they began and people kept telling me it was just anxiety.....after a while I noticed that I would begin vibrating quite a bit when I was particularly happy and relaxed....and many times when I was just excited....once while listening to music I especially liked.....my mother did have Parkinsons that was diagnosed when she was around 60 years old....I am 61 now and neither I nor my siblings who are 6 and 13 years my senior respectively have Parkinsons symptoms.....I haven't been able to get any answers for why this is happening from doctors....I would say I maybe get a break from the vibrating sensation 10 days each month....the rest of the time it is pretty constant.....I have found the amino acid l-theanine may help my tremors.....oh!....in the beginning I was feeling something that felt like a twitch in my toe and after this happened a few times I removed my shoe and found one of my toes moving in a circular fashion!....that went on for a few months but stopped thank goodness!
Hello, I suffer from essential tremor ? Where my hands tremble when I hold a cup of water or tea,
and when the interviews, my body trembles and does not speak? Which one you recommend to
use
therapy has helped and chiropractic too seeing a cardio and they lessened my blood pressure meds and i cut out some of the cafine has been helpful but still have them
Most of my life, I would have a nervous twitch sometimes when I was in bed. To me it was a sign that my muscles were relaxing so I could go to sleep. Now I have ET and had DBS 10/2019. Since then I have had only one incident of internal tremor when I was in bed. It seemed to involve my whole spinal cord, my neck, and into my brain. The only difference was that at the time I wasn't taking cyclobenzaprine 5 mg. once a day at bedtime because my health insurance company refused to cover it and I was appealing their decision. After they accepted my appeal and I started back on cyclobenzaprine, I haven't had any internal tremors. I also was taking primidone consistently but that didn't seem to have any impact on the internal tremor. Note at the time of the main tremor I mention, I had 2 back operations. Since then, I had an additional back operation. It is interesting that it involves ET, PD and MS people. Maybe it is the 'missing link' to all of those conditions.
It was pretty scarey when it happened to me, and I am SO glad to find your video!
My hands shake a little when i am at my job. As soon as i get home the internal vibrations and hands stop shaking. I need help
