Internal tremor - shaking inside ?

I have had a shaky feeling on the inside for about 3 months now.  It started off as every now and then but for the last month it is all the time 24/7.  It is really taking a toll on my life.  It is so bad it wakes me up and prevents me from falling asleep. I have had thyroid, hormones, mri, ct scan and many other tests.  The only test that came back questionable was my ANA, it is positive, speckled pattern.  My RA factor was negative.  I have no diagnosis as of yet.  I do have Epstein Barr virus too.  Just want to hear peoples opinions on this internal tremor thing.  Anyone have it and what is your diagnosis?  Thank you

Great thread - count me in too. I always thought it was related to a hormonal imbalance as it started around menopause.

I've had these internal tremors for 2 months now. They started when I was taking citalphram. I quit taking them but it is still happening. Sometimes they'll go away for a week or two where I can hardly notice them but they always come back. When i get these tremors, I also get really bad dry mouth and electrical type pains in ny extremeties. Like others, I get them a lot at night and I wake up multiple with these vibrations. I take magnesium and it helps slightly but hasnt't cured it. In the process of getting autoimmune tests. The fact that this discussion has been going on for 9 years makes me think we definately have something going on that the medical community, unfortunately, hasn't been able to address. I really hope in the near future we can figure out the cause.

I had internal tremors from the following conditions:

Hypothyroidism
Magnesium deficiency
Acute kidney failure

The tremors went away when the conditions were treated.

I have had internal tremors for 3 weeks - 24-7...what has helped is Acupuncture ..ask your practitioner about Liver Wind and 500 MG doses of an Amino Acid called L- Theanine have dialed them down a bit.  I take high does of Melatonin to sleep. And Kava root (liquid form) for anxiety.  I've been reading other message boards and some think it's related to menopause.  Others have had success with a drug called Gabapentin (I haven't tried this yet), Black Cohosh (herb), Progesterone cream and estrogen (also have not tried) and Chinese herb called Xiao Yao Wa.  Please keep posting any cures/helpful meds to make these awful tremors go away and I will do the same.

Do you have any other symptoms? A positive ANA may indicate some autoimmune activity. Make sure your testing includes thyroid antibody testing not just TSH. Many Dr.s miss autoimmune thyroid.
