Strange vibration sensations - what's causing it??

Interesting that in most cases doctors seem to have no idea what causes these vibrations. Mine are certainly real as often I can press my hand on my skin and feel vibration under the surface. Any part of my body can be involved as well - usually when lying down in bed at night or in the morning before I get up. If I move around in bed the part of me that I moved will vibrate for maybe a minute or less and then it will fade away. I've also had it happen a couple of times during the day in my feet. It was bizarre - like the floor I stood on was vibrating, but it was me!  I do wonder whether I have this small fibre neuropathy condition. Areas of my toes are numb and the end of one of my fingers has lost some sense of touch in a small area so it has some similarities. My GP has run blood tests to see if it's a B12 or diabetes or thyroid problem but all tests normal except high cholesterol. I will mention SFN to see if she will test further. Something is causing our muscles to quiver involuntarily - an oven-production of some hormone or chemical in the bloodstream or a neurological problem. It's been happening to me for over a year now.  I know I don't get enough sleep and I have mild/moderate sleep apnoea as well as a lot of atrial ectopic palpitations (PACs). 

No I still get these vibrations nightly - and last night was particularly bad. Have you had any investigations? I really wish we could get some answers as to what's causing it. 

 

Last night was awful for me too. Woke up at  1:30am with my right hand and forearm as well as my right foot completely numb. I was on my back so it wasn’t from sleeping in a strange position. The one sidedness if it scares me. Sounds like MS/ALS. I have been referred to Strong Memorial neuro Clinic in Rochester NY. Then of to the Cleveland Clinic if they can’t sort me out. My son is 6 and I am absolutely terrified I am going to leave him at such a young age. I really hate not knowing. 

I know how you feel. I tend to think the worst when it comes to my health which isn't really a good thing, but I prefer to prepare myself. I also have frequent numbness in my fingers on both hands, always at night, but the doctor thought it was just the way I sleep somehow squashing a nerve. Never used to happen. Also my toes are becoming numb in places. This has been coming on for a few years. Initially it was just a small area of my left big toe but that's now extending to my other toes and right foot. My doctor just checked for easy stuff that can be sorted out like B12 deficiency which was fine. She said often the reason for peripheral neuropathy isn't found, so that's the end of it from my GP. There are more tests but I may have to go back to see my neurologist and pay for them.  I hope you soon get some answers from the specialists.

I hope you find some relief soon. Good luck!

Hello Sally, I've just been reading your posts for the past year. So sorry you've had to go through so much and to still not be 100% sure of what is going on. I, too, have had internal vibrations for a number of years. I recently accepted that it must be me and not the environment but I still harbor a version, a story that may have some influence on this vibration issue. EMF's cause a great deal of harm and we do not have the ability to pinpoint this issue as a verifiable cause. I've thought for years that the vibs were being caused by pulsing TV's either below or next to my apartment (I live in a 3-story building with approx. 50 people). I left a previous apartment 6 months ago because the night noise was so bad I did think it was the neighbors having TV and lots of movement late at night. For about 2-3 months in this new apartment I had a reprieve...no vibs. But they started up again and continue to bother me....but it is  not constant...8 - 10 days at a time and then 2 days(?) I went to a naturopathic doctor and he did muscle testing etc but could not dtermine anything. He did think I should stop taking synthroid and suggested calcium lactate. I do not see any other doctors....yet. Nor will I take chemical drugs. I've very sensitive; and I am quite perceptive and psychic. So please indulge me. I've read that the vibrations of the earth are shifting. The Schuman Resonance is changing rapidly, from 7.8hz to sometimes up to 70 and 90hz. I often wonder how much I'm being affected by this change. Don't know. There is a disease called Morgellans which is not found in medical journals. I won't take the time to discuss this with you, but I also think I may have been infected with that "virus" in 2012. It cannot be diagnosed because is seems to be different with each body. I suggest you read up on this "disease." One thing I must include here is this: without sounding Polyanna-like, you know how important our thoughts, attitudes, beliefs can get in the way of healing. I have explored my false beliefs, gone into my childhood traumas, and pretty much explored my shadow (a term created by Carl Jung). When I'm in bed and cannot sleep due to the internal vibs, I sing the OM sound until I'm moved into another state of mind, more relaxed and I fall into sleep. I usually find music (turned up or with headphones) and dance or movement help me to feel better. I wish sincerely that I had a cure for you, as I'm always looking for clues to determine what the H..L is going on. I'm of sound and stable mind but I could sound very "mad" if I discussed this issue with people who have closed minds. Your journey has helped me to hang in here and continue to touch into the very big love of life I feel when I connect to the earth herself with my feet on the ground, rain or sun; I'm outdoors every day. Many thanks and hugs, Sally. Pam

Hi, it was a while ago that you posted your own experiences with numbness and vibration. I’m interested to know if you’re any clearer as to what’s causing them following your referals? 

Hi fergs. 

I also multiple chemical sensitivity-MCS.  

One of my symptoms was feeling a vibration running thru my body. My whole body.  All of it at the same time.  Almost like a really fast internal tremor.   For me the metallic taste, I've been able to associate with pesticide.  Even old pesticide.  Like in a place that was sprayed a year ago.  Sometimes I'm able to acclimate to it and the vibrating and metallic taste will go away.  Sometimes I have to be the one that leaves the environment. The learning curve of MCS is a hard one.  MCS is different for each person.  

I ordered some socks that I love thru the mail. I've been wearing them for 20 yrs. they r being discontinued ??  I have neuropathy in my feet.  These make my feet feel better. 

Anyway after waiting 3 weeks, they arrived. I opened the package sbdcat first didn't notice the very slight smell of camphor.  Or ben gay or something.  About 10 mins after opening the package,I realized my face and mouth r starting to burn.  Turns out it's the socks.  Well in the interim , I have handled my phone, the remote, my wallet , my coffee cup, even tho I've washed them all as best as I can, when I touch those things the reaction starts again.   MCS is a cruel joke. Drs don't believe in it. Family members believe what drs say. 

Sadly u we r left to figure it out on our own and try to servive in a toxic world.  I think a lot of people that have been diagnosed with anxiety may have MCS and just havnt connected the dots yet. 

I've only had it for 6 yrs.   but I'm not looking forward to living the rest of my life isolating in my safe place.  I get to sick from so many things. Car exhaust, laundry products hair products, not in myself, but on other people. Its all over powering. 

Interesting... I accidentally forgot to get new prescription for gabapentin, so I went off it cold turkey after being on it for a few years...had bad muscle quivers I associated with neck or sciatica. I have both neck and lower back problems with allot of muscle spasms.. I wonder if the drug is , or lack of drug is messing with me too...

thats interesting, ive heard the opposite and that gaba helps this insane symptom... but then again everyone is different!
