Feeling like my body is tremoring and shaking when it's not
Posted , 28 users are following.
Does anyone else who has health anxiety have weeks of feeling unbalanced and dizzy when they are walking as well as on going feelings of your body tremoring and shaking inside like extreme nervousness when on the outside its not. This has been going on for weeks and of course I'm convinced I have something sinister. Blood tests are fine and usual doctors nurological tests and still waiting for my specialist appointment and Mri. It starts from the instant I wake up and effects my appetite and makes me so fatigued. This forum has been so helpful as I've never had anxiety before. Thanks in advance

Hello lee58443
I've just seen your post & I know it's a year ago but I have exactly the same symtons & could have written it myself. I'm searching for answers and have had so many blood tests & scans all come back ok.
I have had these symptoms for 3 months now and would be grateful if you could let me know if you ever got to the bottom of it? Just so worried :-(
Many thanks

Hi Mrs Susan. Sorry to hear you are feeling the same way. I am male 47 and have been suffering with this for some time now. Does this make you feel tired too? Can I ask, do you feel worse at any particular times of the day? Likewise does this come and go or get worse if you are particularly stressed about something? Have you found anything that gives you relief from the symptoms at any time? Kindest Gary

oh wow i can relate with the "I have a constant buzzing/ vibrating feeling all over my body especially in my upper back. i have dizzy unbalance feelings, sensations where i feel my brain is being pushed over or shook or even vibrate too. i have muscle spams, neck pain, back pain all over, makes me feel really nervous," and I'm trying to find answers too but so far its the same honestly it tells me it can be Parkinson’s Disease and tremors and etc.

I am 35 years old. I am somewhat better I don't have the vibrating feeling all the time but at times I feel it, I think it might be my spine. I do still suffer with my back pain and also with anxiety, granted my anxiety is much better thank God.

Hi Lee, glad you are feeling a bit better now. I have had exactly the same symptoms for some time now. Worst in the morning for sure and makes me feel so weak and tired. Whilst I know it is related to anxiety I still think there is something else that might be adding to the problem. You say you haven't struggled with anxiety really before but I'm interested if you find that you are constantly checking your self so to speak. i.e. always asking yourself how you feel? This is something I'm conscious that I do? Does this make any sense? Gary

Oh god I thought I was the only one but this is happening to me right now and I'm 13 and lately the more I grow and just let it pass everything gets worse like recently and today I have been like that as well feel like getting wavy or dizzy and my anxiety is just making me so frustrated that I want to cry. Thought I cant cause I don't want to worry my family and I can relate with the appetite problems too I remember 3 days ago was the 3 days i didn't even eat like for the whole day maybe just some fruit or something but as well I'm kinda of afraid to eat sometimes cause i have this mucus or phlegm thing, and I haven't done anything at all other than spit. I'm really tired too and my muscles sometimes feels so heavy or sore it really sucks cause I have this shaky feeling too, I sometimes wonder if i am fatigue and whats wrong with me it really makes me have some panick attack. The worse thing is that I'm staring homeschoole high school in august 1. I really need help i know I'm sick but my family don't but it wont help since we don't have a car...this is hell for me

Yes mine started about 2 months ago. I was temporarily living in an apartment by the freeway, & could feel it slightly shaking or juggling from the traffic. About the 3rd month living there I had some paperwork to complete & decided I was just going to stay in all weekend & not go anywhere so I could get it done. After that weekend, I noticed I felt like I was walking on a boat! If you've ever been on a ship for several days, & you have that feeling for a few days after you get off, you know what I mean. I realized I needed to get out of there ( it was just temporary any way) so I was able to pack up and move out within another month. So total time there was about 4 months. That's been 6 weeks ago & I still feel that way! It does get worse if I get stressed out or tired; but I am in a constant state of feeling like I'm walking on a boat, or when sitting or laying down like the bed or chair is jiggling! It's annoying at best & starting to worry me a bit. I'm not physically shaking or moving that I can see, in fact, holding my hands out, they are very steady! I've recently read about mal disenbarkment syndrome, and that's what I think I have. I guess some people can have it for several weeks to months after getting off what ever you were in that was constantly moving (usually a ship or I've been in high rise Hotels before where you can feel the building moving as they are built to sway a bit with the winds.) I read a few people have it forever,& pray that's not going to happen to me! There is a website of a group who suffer from MDDS Mal Dis-embarkment Syndrome. ( Not sure what the 2nd "D" is for.)

Hi there,
Are you still facing issues?
I'm Jennifer and I come from Holland. I am diagnosed with Mdds since may 2019. The symptoms started in nov 2018 just sudden when I woke up. Heavy balance problems, fatigue, brain fog, nausea, serious headaches, anxious feelings, skipping heartbeats, etc. I couldn't walk at first, I had to crawl to the bathroom in the first weeks. I was very very ill. The doctors thought it was due to a virus so I had to deal with it and wait for it to go away eventually as it could take a few months they said. But it did not fade away, sometimes it even get worse for some period of time. The heavy sickness changed into an ongoing less severe but still unfortunate feelings of constant motion 24/7.
I also experience the sensations of bobbing/swaying, rocking and floating while sitting or laying down, even while eyes are closed.
I had to quit my fulltime job.
(It was a very stressful time for quite some years. I had a burnout in 2016 which took about 1 1/5 year to recover from. Not the 'typical' one but a serious total breakdown which resulted in failure phenomena and hospitalization for a few weeks. At first no one expected I was blown away by a burnout but after 9 months of medical investigation this diagnoses was the only one left)
A half year later (in 2018) I got a total medical health investigation because the strange dizzy feelings were persisting. They took bloodtesting, vestibular testing, MRI scans etc, the whole package. But everything was normal. Except for the HIT test, Head Impulse Test was positive. And bloodpressure was very high. Most likely due to high anxiety which is quite normal for patients with MDDS unfortunately.
My vitamines were all ok as well.
I tried to get back to work for several times in the understanding that this illness would be temporarily but that was/is still not the case..
I'm a 37 year old female. Dealing with this extreme bizarre diagnoses for over 2 years now. The only thing that eases my mind a bit is by walking on a flat as possible surface or driving a car or boat, but not too long because the symptoms are getting worse most often after exposure to these activities.
The doctors in the Netherlands do not have any clue what to do with Mdds or how they can treat this. I feel quite alone over here as nobody really understands what I am going through. There's nothing to see from the outside. I can do groceries today but in my own time when I feel like I can handle it. In the first year this was not done, every product in the shopping mall was moving and swaying. I had to stand outside waiting for my husband to do groceries. Inside small rooms the symptoms are increasing. The horizon is wobbling all the time especially inside buildings and thus rooms etc. Even now still, after 26 months. This feeling is less worse when I walk outside with a wide range of sight. The horizon as much as far away eases the bobbling sensations a bit temporarily.
Meditating and reducing stress as much as possible is the only remedy (for me) to soften the affects of Mdds. Hopefully with this strategy we maybe even get rid of this awful sh*t one day 😉
Luckily my husband knows what affect this syndrome has on me and the daily life. I do not look ill but there is something unbelievable going on on the inside people can't imagine how hard and difficult it is to deal with.
We hopefully can be treated in the future. Let's pray for that. This is no nonsense!
Wish you all the best.
Maybe we can get in contact to share our thoughts.
Warm regards,
Jenn
