Hello everyone,

Ok, I know we (well me) on the east coast just had a earthquake and I have noticed at night I feel really light tremors. I have noticed this before the earthquake, and since I have never been in one I paid no attention in this. Anyway, I asked my husband one night if he felt them and he said no. So I placed my hand beside me on the bed and tried to see if I could feel it with my hand and to tell you the truth it is my body making this sensation! It feels like the bed is moving! Like really really light tremors of a earthquake, lol. Why oh why does our bodies do this? What is with the nerves? I want to just touch something and let the electric flow out of me to it..lol. Are the nerves firing off? or are they just irritated? And this is all from fibro?

Usually I only feel it when I lay down and things are really still, still feels weird.

A few years ago I was laying on the bed reading a book.  The bed started to shake so I ran to the living room and told the hubby to turn the news on to hear about the earthquake.  He thought I was nuts...no earthquake.  I forgot about it and a few nights later it happened again.  This time the hubby was in bed with me and HE felt it.  It was me....VIBRATING.  I went to the doctor and had more tests than I ever thought possible.  By this time it was a joke...I would lay down and watch the vase on the table across the room shake.  I bet this went on for six months then suddenly stopped and to this day I have no idea what it was or why it happened....no doctor ever found anything wrong.  It happened when I was relaxed and laying down so it must have been muscles spasaming...no clue, but it scared the crap out of me...LOL!

Oh, did yours kind of feel like you are standing next to a washing machine that's in the spin cycle?

We have frequent earthquakes here and I do the same thing. I realize it is just my imagination. I get on my edge on the days we have them. I will be laying in bed and I will think the bed is vibrating. Sometimes my dog comes bouncing in and it shakes the floor at times. Lol.

No, I can actually feel my body vibrate. It's real, not my imagination. It's not really hard, just feels like nerves are alive and moving or something lol. Just an over all weird feeling. It almost feels like restless leg syndrome, sometimes I get this and the vibrating feeling is what I feel.

I had a weird vibration today. I felt & thought I heard a vibration in my chest. I thought maybe I had stuck my cell phone in my bra. Nope! So I located my cell phone in my pocket & no, it hadn't alerted about anything. Then about an hour ago, I felt like the back of my right shoulder was sunburnt. But it isn't.

Is this the same as someone telling you that you rock their world??? nono   Okay, just joking with you, although I know you are serious...actually this has happened to me. I've tried to put it out of my head because I had no idea what it was. I sleep in my own room now, simply because it enables me to SLEEP...but previously when I slept with hubby, it use to happen and I thought it was him!! I'd reach over and touch his back but I didn't feel it, but the bed felt like it was vibrating, so I know it was me!! weird!!

I have also been having this vibrating thing going on. I feel it inside my head, sometimes my chest and I don't know what it is and it scares me. When it happens I take a xanax and then I calm down. Guess it is just nerves or is this another symptom of fibro. I only take xanax when I get this sensation or if something has really upset me like when a major car accident happened in front of my house and two people were killed lying in my yard. Awful!

I have had this sensation only very locally, meaning just in the one leg.. With me its not the whole leg but it's realy my upper leg muscle that's doing all the shaking. u can even see it when u watch my legs. It also ussualy happens in the evening when relaxed, never when walking or anything. It is weird thoug, my boyfriend even noticed it the other night said my leg was doing jumping jacks lol. As long as it doesn't get painfull or anything it doesn't really bother me. and yes like Klambert1 i also think its very simmilar to the RLS.

I get it in my feet only, at least I think it's my feet.  I was walking to my apartment from the car a few days ago and both feet were vibrating, usually only happens with one foot at a time.  I guess we are just lucky! idea

Oh my goodness! I am so glad I read this. I thought I was going crazy! I get that vibrating off and on - makes sleeping a bit weird considering I sleep on a waterbed! lol Mine happen mostly in my legs, particularly my thighs. But some nights it's thru out my entire body.

I have vibrations in various parts of my body alot. I think the worst have been in my intestines. I get them in my feet too.
My vision shakes, but I've discovered its my two eyes not working together. But yes, I've learned to live with the vibrations. They come and they go.
Try taking a good B complex vitamin and sublingual B12 (the methylcobalamine form). Sometimes these vitamins help with the nervous system. you're not imagining it. Its there.
