I too had this hunmming or vibration 2years ago.

I am a 32 year old male in average to athletic physical condition. About 2 years ago I began to have humming or vibrations that latter turned to cramps in my feet and numbness in my big toes, more after exercise. I then noticed that I was having constant Fasciculation’s or tremors in my feet. These fasciculation’s then moved to my calves and now are in my upper legs, arms, hands, abs. My calves have these fasciculation’s 90% of the time and now they have begun to cramp also. My feet NEVER stop having fasciculation’s and cramps, it is constant. I also have onsets of nausea every once in a while. My Liver enzymes’ are elevated but they go up and down and up and down. AST, ALT, and GGT are almost always high. My cholesterol is high but I don’t eat that bad, (I exercise and it does not run in my family). I sometimes have numbness in my hands, fingers and toes. I feel like my dexterity is getting bad and my wife thinks my speech is sometimes slurred. I have noticed that I sometimes accidently spit when I Talk. I have developed a slight shake in my hands sometimes. I have become forgetful, and often say things I don’t mean. EX: car instead of house, frig instead of microwave. Cant remember peoples names. I also notice a twitch in the muscle by my eyes. My fingers will twitch and move when I am relaxed. My muscles now feel like they are tiard if I have to do the same thing or hold the same position. It seems like my symptoms are progressing faster now as time goes on. I have Had TONS of blood work. only findings are elevated liver enzymes. Mult. Hep. panels were neg. Two ELISA Limes test were negative. two EMG's almost a year apart and neither shows’ nerve damage and the signals causing the cramps are local. (not coming from my brain or spine) I am told that this means It cant be ALS. Could it be MS? CT with and without contrast of mt spine shows no lesions and no injury. X-Ray of spine shows no injury and normal layout. Muscle Biopsy left leg shows mild myopathic changes with features of mitochondrial myopathy with "ragged red fibers". A muscle specialist in neuro however does not think it is. I am about to see a liver specialist and my neurologist has ordered a lumbar puncture. As of right now I guess we are trying to rule out Lymes (need a western blot test), MS, Mitochondrial Myopathy, and now perhaps Gullain-Barre syndrome.  Please help if you have any info that can help

I have been experiencing very similar things. All tests normal so far. Wondering... Have you found out what is causing your internal tremors yet?

Hi there!

Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Possibilities that may need to be considered include infections, inflammations neuro-muscular causes such as peripheral neuropathy, causes related to the central nervous system, degeneration, low blood sugar, metabolic issues, hormonal/ endocrine abnormalities growths masses etc. It would be best to have this evaluated by an internist/ neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
