Yes, it's 2016 and I'm replying to posts in 2008, but maybe this can help others, as some comments here help me. I have weird internal trembly, electric vibrating feeling mostly at night after rest. I also have Chronic EBV and chronic Lyme. Thank you for someone who suggested too much sugar could make this worse. I'll try to see if reducing sugar can help. You can't see the shaking zapping which is NOT normal. I've only been ill three years so I remember what normal feels like. I'm hoping acupuncture helps... Blessings of healing to all of you!
Thank you for compiling the list of possible issues. I have a lot of testing to look forward to in my future :)
I had this type of symptom prior to being diagnosed with Parkinson's. A neurologist could tell you.
Sri Lankan Ayurvedic medicine can CURE fibromyalgia. I know someone close who took it when diagnosed. Took time, but he is alright now. I hope this information helps you.
I too experience cold feet in connection with the internal tremors. They get cold when the internal tremor begins.
So far I have only managed to read less than half of the postings, but I am intrigued that no one so far seems to have mentioned the likely physiological connection between the internal tremors and inadequate muscle tone.
It seems to me there is only a slight physiological difference between the internal tremor and normal, healthy muscle tone (which we do not notice as a tremor but in fact it is), because recently I experienced internal tremor with a somewhat higher frequency vibration where I felt there was hardly any gap between the peaks. (If I had felt no gap at all then I would not be conscious of the tremor, meaning it would then be normal muscle tone.)
On other occasions the internal tremor has longer gaps between the peaks so that it shows up as a pinging feeling maybe 5 to 10 pings per second.
Another reason to suspect that the internal tremor is actually inadequate muscle tone:- It appears when I lie down and try to go to sleep, or when sleeping and then waking up to it. It disappears on getting up and walking around or standing still, and it very occasionally continues on sitting down. (It may even start when sitting down if close to falling asleep in the sitting position, but not strongly.) Since normal, healthy muscle tone is required to hold our body in (for example) a standing position, and is not needed when we lie down and relax, the internal tremor may be physiologically only slightly different (for chemical, biochemical or electrical reasons such as electrolyte imbalance in the blood) from normal, healthy muscle tone.
Another related comment, on anxiety as a cause:- Anxiety is a standard symptom of several different electrolyte and hormone imbalances in the blood, so in those cases either has a physical not mental cause or they are one and the same and so also physical. When doctors write off internal tremors as anxiety, they are in fact failing to recognise that whether the anxiety is physical or mental in origin, it is showing up as a physical event. They need to ask themselves which they mean, (1) is the internal tremor merely imagined -- not real -- or (2) is it experienced, i.e. a physical event. If it is a physical event (and those of us who experience it know that is exactly what it is) then it must have a basis in the same biochemistry as muscle tone. If it is merely imagined then why are we able to describe it as a symptom that changes with our body position (standing or lying down, and other postural differences mentioned by many sufferers)?
hi, maybe your heat pump system was producing vibrations. i think that all our syntoms are the results of vibrations. i have have many cars near my home and many are tuning speakers ( more powerful ) and they produce low frequency sounds... vibrations. it's a kind of pollution. i'm italian, am a psychologist and i'm studyng about this problem. it's not ansiety caused but cause ansiety. i'm sure that our problem is caused by infrasounds and other low frequencies. how many of you have some source of low frequencies? disco, hi fi car? home theather? something similar... sorry for my english and good luck to everyone :)
