I can't say that I have experienced what you describe, but it made me wonder about the adequacy of your treatment.  If you would please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report we will be glad to help interpret your status.  Also tell us about any other symptoms you have.    Have you been tested for Vitamin D, B12 ferritin, and cortisol?

I have it too. I only notice it when I start to fall asleep. I have a hard time falling asleep even! When I finally do, I wake up hour or so later still with vibrations. Heart rate & Blood pressure normal. I do this all night long. When I take my pill early in morning it seems to leave. So I'm wondering if I metabolize my pill too quickly and this is affect of it wearing off??? Anyone else have this? Anyone?? Desperate for answers.
I have an internal buzzing/tremblig since February 2017. I struggled and went from doctor to doctor and eventually my fiancé and I became my own advocate. I was diarrhea Hashimoto in June 2017. I've had every single test known and no one can figure out my internal shaking (as it is not visible to the eye) I believe it's from Hashimoto thyroiditis. Changed my entire diet. No sugar, no gluten, no dairy at all, Never cheat. All organic and free range. I still shake but I believe it is a combination of thyroid issues and candida. It has ruined so many aspects of my life. Go see a Naturopathic doctor. It changed my life.I hope you get better
I treat my buzzing trembling with milk thistle.  Went away within couple of days.

I have it both when very hyper or hypo, as well! It's a strange feeling. I usually didn't notice it until I went to bed, then it felt almost like my bed was gently vibrating, ha ha.

Just started Synthriod a few months back and have the exact same issue. I have this vibration that I noticed most when I'm relaxing or laying down. Please let me know if you found the source of the issue or a resolution. Thank you so much.
First thing I would want to  do is to see your prior and current thyroid related  test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.  Also, what is your daily dosage of Synthroid?

Hi Mirabella,

I found your post fascinating. I have the identical symptoms. None of the doctors whom I seen have made this link.

How are you now, some 4 years on?

Any hints as to diet etc

Warm wishes,

This all sounds so familiar...I feel nUtS when someone is talking...just get to the point for #$@% sake...I too leave the room before I have a melt down.  I take methimazole twice a day. Seemed like it helped for awhile..

the internal shaking is quite common.


grneweene,
the frustration is normal to. I have the same problem. I try to leave the room, though, because I have realized that the problem is me, not the other person, and I do not want to say something that I will regret and cause hurt to the other person.

Hello have you discovered any relief for the internal shaking,  trembling? Did you find out what was causing it? I'm hypothyroid and experiencing similar symptoms? Hope you are doing better.

I get that internal shaking and anxiety too, aswell as muscle jerks and twitches. So it's really good to see I'm not alone. I just started a post about the muscle bit and forgot to add the trembling, so I'm going back to do it now as they go together. I suffer with Sjogren's too and I want to know if these symptoms belong to thyroid or sjogren's. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

I have extreme internal shaking, and was wondering the same question.  I feel like I'm freezing when I'm not, my temps are alway's normal.  But the ironic part about it all is, my hands and feet feel like ice.

It can cause low body temperatures, which in turn could cause shaking. I get this, but I feel shivery and cold.
