The inside of my body is shaking.

[PuceisNotGreenWhoKnew]

This is really odd, but over the last few months I’ve noticed what I can only describe as the inside of my body shaking. It’s been happening when I am in bed and relaxing to go to sleep. To begin with I thought it was DH snoring but it happened when he was away. Then I thought it might be the tube, I’m in London and the underground goes nearly underneath my house. But I’ve just experienced the feeling when I’ve been standing up and not at home.

I can’t go to the GP and say my inside bones are shaking, can I? Do I just pretend it’s not happening?

And I was going to go to the GP as I’m menopausal, no period for over a year, but have had period pain and what felt like ovulation. This has been followed by a huge bloated stomach that looks like I’m 7 months pregnant.

Will they think I’ve got health anxiety if I go with both? I don’t think I do, but I’ve had done pretty serious illnesses in my time and I wonder if I do have it now!

I get this too - only ever at night. It wakes me up sometimes. I'm not surprised to see that it's yet another weird menopause thing 😞

I used to feel like this if I had a fatty meal before I had my gallbladder operation.

It’s well known estrogen affects neurotransmitters.

@PuceisNotGreenWhoKnew You need the bloating checked out.

Very common in hyperparathyroid disease. Ask for your serum calcium and adjusted calcium to be checked as well as your parathyroid hormone.

I had internal tremors with low b12.

Look up astral projection. Vibrational stage is part of that and in that relaxed state.

I had the shaking feeling too when I was going through the menopause it was horrible but it's very important to get checked. I didn't get the bloating. Anything like that needs to be checked out.

I think someone already mentioned b12 but I would want my b12 and folate status checking. Get the numbers because if you're borderline you'll be told you're ok. You need a balance of b12, folate and the other B vitamins.

You’re all great! I’ve got my bloods done recently so I’ll ask to see them, to see if they were a full blood count. I’ll make an appointment about the bloating anyway.

I stopped taking HRT at the end of last year so I do wonder if it’s menopause related, and I’d imagine menopause can affect your thyroid?

I am so glad I posted, I feel I’m not so bonkers now!

I get this too - it feels like the washing machine is on fast spin! Only at bedtime when I first lie down.

I’ve been on HRT for a while now, wonder if it’s to do with that? I put it down to anxiety. But I put EVERYTHING down to anxiety!!

I had shaking like that when I first had menopause, accompanied by hot flushes and then vertigo. It was horrific. Sometimes I could even see my hands shaking.

hope you get answers

So glad I found this thread...so, for the past couple of weeks I've experienced vibrations in the middle of the night, now there was a neighbour washing machine drama, which caused a lot of stress but this isn't that. I feel like it's external, but I'm not ruling out a medical cause. I work shifts, often 12 + so I get tired, also peri, and I also get occasional migraines. I'm going to put a glass of water next to my bed to get a visual on the next vibrating episode...Feel like I'm going mad! I'm aware I probably sound it!! 😫

Dear poster, I've been having the same internal tremors for about 3 weeks - first at night and for the last week during the day. I will be going o my GP about it in a couple of weeks, but wondered if yours have improved, increased or gone? Wishing you well! Thanks.

I’ve had this ever since my first Covid infection in 2020. It was really bad for the first year but only flares up now when I overdo it.

Seen several doctors and been told it’s everything from nerve damage to vascular damage to autoimmune issues. Nobody seems to really have any answers.

Hello! I’ve just got used to it, I think, and since this thread I’ve decided not to worry about it anymore. I do still get it, mostly at night. During the day it tends to happen in one particular place in a shopping centre-so I feel it can’t be me, it must be the location.
Covid and perimenopause (now menopause) crossed over for me, so it’s very difficult to know which effected me, and if they interacted.
i would be interested to hear if anyone gets any answers. Or if you show this thread to a GP, to know what they say.

I have primary hyperparathyroidism. I get these internal vibrations and they are worse when my phosphate levels are low. This is another blood level that should be checked to rule out hyperparathyroidism as a cause. Plus a lot of us with phpt also have low magnesium and vitamin D levels. A bone profile test checks the calcium and phosphate levels. Do you or did you have phpt @blueshedhermit? It’s supposed to be rare but it’s the third most common endocrine disorder and unfortunately people can be dismissed as having menopause or fibromyalgia or the like when they can be cured by an operation.

I’ve got low thyroid, and take levothyroxine 75mg daily. But I only see the GP, the hospital aren’t interested in me. I’m also exhausted. But I’m told my bloods are normal.
what operation would help?

Hear hear. I know people offering ChatGPT text mean to help, but it’s so tedious and wordy as well as often inaccurate.

I had that while going through the menopause. I read up about it online and when they said it was a thing with hormones etc l just accepted that and it has now gone away. It was very unsettling and l was dreading going to bed as it would start up as l relaxed. I have to confess l did nothing and it gradually stopped.

It’s not my thyroid although I have had half of it removed as it was found to be compressing my windpipe. It’s my parathyroid glands which are 4 small glands behind the thyroid gland which cause numerous severe health problems if they start being overactive. They control the levels of calcium in your blood. They are actually so important we have four of them. Unfortunately many people are unaware they have the condition as blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone levels are not routinely checked.

Op, how is your blood pressure, I had something similar when mine was high,

I'm sure there was another thread about exactly this a few days ago

I have long Covid & POTs and experience internal tremors a lot.

It could be down to any illness causing system dyregulation. It's highly likely that it is linked to what you have already been to the doctors about. I would book an appointment and let them hopefully put together the bigger picture.

Me too!!

I've only had it since I had a stroke in January, so obviously been putting it down to that, but maybe it's not

I'm under (slow🙄🙄) investigation for my parathyroid (different to thyroid)

it's my entire right hand side. Constant. Driving me insane.

This is something I get with Long Covid/ME. Is it possible you have something similar OP? Did your symptoms start after a virus? There may also be other conditions that can cause the same symptom I'm not sure.
