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

I have experienced the trembling most people have on this board. It has become permanent for the last 2 years. It has complicated my heart issues (atrial fibrillation). I think my heart is trembling along with the other muscles over a majority of my body complicating my heart-associated fatigue. This trembling has been present for a number of years and seems to link to other conditions involving muscle tremors that I first noticed following sinus infections and alcohol consumption which left me for a few days with brief tremors in my superficial muscles of my head and ear drum. Another condition appeared along with my heart problems; shivering in my chest area that required me to leave bed and sit over a floor furnace for 45 minutes till the shivering stopped. I consider it life threatening. I have experienced this in the e.r. while connected to ekg and there were no electrical traces of the symptom.

There has been some success for me in dealing with the issue in the past. Sometimes I can't do chores because it seems that the trembling is affecting my heart. Howerver, often in the past, the tremors went away with exercise involving the muscles of my chest; lifting heavy bundles and pushing a lawnmower. This applies to symptoms of afib as well as the trembling symptom.

My diet has been full of sugar which could easily cause nutritional imbalances. I just took an epsom salt bath and am attempting to alkalize my tissues in hopes that it is an issue with electrolytes. Exercise no longer resloves the trembling for me.

A new area of therapy cropped up recently: energy work using lasers and scenar devices. These devices can be obtained for home use for a combined expense of under $1000. The operative theory is that tissues become under-volted and membranes do not pass nutrients in and waste out. Additionally, the nervous system "switches off" healing to areas that the brain has repeatedly attempted to heal. The scenar creates nerve impulse like signals that re-set the healing process. These devices have given me temporary relief. The laser stopped trembling (or significantly reduced intensity) in several different regions of treatment for a day or two. Laser is light energy that penetrates to problem tissues (see LLLT on the web). These devices can be applied to energy pathways (Chinese acupuncture meridians) to treat systemic issues, i.e. nervous system dystonia. Given that my history includes shivering in the same areas as trembling could it be that the trembling is a spastic response to a lack of energy?  

Though these means are not proven in the U.S. they have a successful history in Eastern Europe. They have the appeal of capability to be broadly applied and broad in effect.

My layman's interpretation of the progress of my condition focuses on the muscle tissues rather than the central nervous system. Opinions seem to be divided on the question of which system is at fault. I don't see how the cns could affect particular muscle masses. How does the condition "spread"? is another question for me. It appeals to me that the source of the problem does not necessarily have to be determined in order to treat it. Broad solutions such as nutrition, dirty electricity/EMF control, energy devices, yoga, alkalizing techniques offer hope to me for all my health issues. I will pursue these in favor of medical treatments.

Sorry this is such a long post but I wanted to share even though I can't offer a treatment (yet).

Here are some areas that I have worked on without any success.
Improvements have been made in my thyroid with armour and megadoses of iodine. EMF exposure has been reduced 80%. 4 colonic series with herbal colon cleanse. More exercise. Device protocol for Parkinsons (LLLT and Scenar). Restore autonomic nervous system balance with above devices. Quantum Pulse device treatment series.
Now I will try heavy metal testing

Hi All,

I am 31, Female and have had the most stressful period in my life. Everything started in October, 2015 when I lost my job and I got extremely stressed out. In December I went to have some beers with friends and the following morning I felt pan above my belly button, I had CT Scan and Blood work everything looked good but found a small cyst on my ovary. Then I got another job and after a month I lost it because of Visa paper wok ( I am Hungarian living in the USA) Haven't been able to work for more then 2 months. I have been stressed out for 3 months but I think everything started getting better, I did FODMAP diet and no alcohol, exercise etc.
In March I had my birthday and I went out had some wine and beers for 2 days. I did no feel any pain in my belly so I was happy. But right after the first day of having wine I felt tingling in my feet. I got very stressed what else could come after all I have been through. I also started taking Vitamin B6 50 mg and Symprove probiotics a couple days before having alcohol. Since then I have not been feeling good at all. I have muscle twitches, week legs and arms, painful jaws and grinding teeth. The last couple nights I have experienced the Shakes too. That is so awful. At the moment when I am about to fall asleep I start shaking in the inside (nothing visible in the outside) then I wake up calm myself down and its gone. Also feel this weird thing in the morning when I wake up. Its been 3 days now. I cry every day, I am so nervous and don't understand what is happening.
I remember having this shakes once when I was a teenager and had lots of booze the night before. Also I had it a month ago when I was waiting for the CT Scan results but when I learned it was ok then it went away and now its back.
Can anyone help and tell me why I feel this and what could help. :(

Check your magnesium level. Your symtoms are the same as mine and my magnesium level was low. Once I started supplements,the symptoms slowly went away.

I work in an environment where I interact with many people suffering from various medical conditions and have noticed a marked increase in complaints of "internal shaking" within the past 5 years since the majority of analog electric and water meters have been changed out for digital or "Smart" meters. The digital meters work by wireless microwave transmission and those microwaves amplify the interference fields caused by all wireless devices such as cell phones, modems, cordless phone charging bases and they also interact with metal and normal electric devices in homes, such as light switches. Most mattresses have metal coils in them which conduct 'dirty electricity' and microwaves into a person's body all night as they sleep. Rather than healing and rejuvenating at night, we're being 'baked.' Watch a video called, "Take Back Your Power" and you''ll see how the standards of microwave exposure considered safe for humans have been increased to accommodate "Smart Meters"  Google "Dangers of Smart Meters."  Symptoms include, internal tremors, heart palpitations, bands of heat across the body, insomnia, being awakened by internal pounding, etc..We are becoming increasingly bombarded by electromagnetic fields, WiFi, microwaves, etc....most people use GPS rather than paper maps- it's everywhere and taking a toll on our bodies.

LISTEN UP -- omg, so many crazy theories on this board -- and I've considered them all. But after years, I discovered that I have had very high blood glucose levels -- increasingly worse and the internal vibrating was worse and worse, too. Whether it was the blood sugar fluctuating or the dehydration that goes along with glucose and ketones -- I cannot say for sure 100%. But, I know that when my glucose levels come back down to "normal" low 80s on a glucometer, I get the vibrating and I get anxiety and the feeling of someone walking over my grave. I had high glucose for so long, that when I was sleeping and coming down to the leveles of a "normal healthy person," I was getting all these very abnormal, and very real sensations. These included twitching and tingling as many of your say. Get your blood checked several times -- or do it yourself. You can buy a glucometer at a pharmacy or Walmart. No prescription needed. Check before you eat and after. And check when you are feeling these odd things. You may well find out, like I did, that you are experiencing abnormal highs and lows. 80s (or 4.6)  is normal. It should virtually always be between 75 and 100 (no more than 120 just after you eat carbs). If so, you need to see a doctor straight away, one who understands diabetes -- perhaps an endocrinologist. And, if you have diabetes, make sure you get the tests to tell whether it's autoimmune Type 1 -- get the antibody tests for GAD, insulin, etc. Best of luck and good health in the future. Also, if you do turn out to have a glucose problem, do write a follow-up here and tell everyone so they know.

I have the same as you have checked as much out as possible with doctors  but no answer I thought  I want drinking enough as once i drink i seem to calm and go back to sleep No visual signed but constipation has been an issue I am now doing coffee enemas as I think it might be toxic bowels but then again just my own thoughts .  I also am looking at yeast in the intestine.  Have changed my diet a year ago when my husband was diagnosed with hpv throat cancer. and we decided to go now the natural path with no chemo or radiotherapy a year later he is well they gave him 3 months to live stage 3 tonsil carcinoma. 6 months ago i was diagnosed just by change with bowel cancer.the tumour was 3.5 cm but had been contained. in the sigmoiid to the doctors surprise. I told him i bought is was due the our diet. during my week in hospital no tremors  that is why i think maybe  it was because my bowels were empty. si I am doing coffee enemas and will check to see if it makes a difference . Cheers  Jackie
