vibrating

 I also got this vibrating on a part of my body. I thought I'll get something on internet of what it really was. Now it seems to me that it is a rare condition that doctors are not sure of?

Hello and Welcome to Healing Well and the A & P forum.

I would like to suggest that you make an appointment to see a physician to decided what your problem is to rule out any medical condition and then go from there.

We are very happy to have you with us  and hope you find our members as caring and supportive as I have.

Stay with us and keep posting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I was also searching symptoms of vibrating and a feeling of tenseness that seemed very hard to explain about six months ago.  After many pointless tests and thousands of dollars spent I have found the problem. 

MERCURY POISONING FROM DENTAL AMALGAMS!

My symptoms started with mild internal shaking at night and progressed to very severe symptoms over the course of the following year.  If you are experiencing any vibrating, tenseness, dizziness, lack of energy etc it would be a very good idea to be tested for heavy metals especially mercury.

Do not rely on your western doctor to do this.  It would also be a very good idea to read Amalgam Illness by Andrew Cutler before taking any action or check out the frequent-dose chelation group.  There are many people out there with this problem.  It is important to get it before it gets too bad. 

I don't know if this is the problem for everyone who has posted here but I do know that I saw 4 different neurologists and had many blood tests, an MRI, a CAT scan, A colonoscopy, an EKG etc etc etc that all came back normal. 

I did a DMPS challenge test for heavy metals and discovered I was 27 times the upper limit.  An 82 on what should have been less than 3.  This DMPS challenge test I found out later is contraindicated in cases of mercury poisoning I found out later.  (see DMPSbackfire website)

Find a good Naturopath who is familiar with heavy metal poisoning and read Andrew Cutler's book as well as anything by Hal Huggiins and refer to the frequent dose chelation group. 

I hope this helps...

Heavy metal testing should be a concern for anyone who was born before 1990 (I think that is the year they changed) and had dental work done.

ah shucks thanks... I also want to mention that a neuro might be in order as well...in case it is something else that is causing nerve problems...

Hi,

I believe that all "silver fillings" leak to some degree. They are composed of about 50% mercury. Check out this website and click on the shoking "Smoking Teeth Video":

A month ago I tested for mercury with a naturopath and found I was 27 times above the safe level. Last week I got my urine mercury results back from my western MD and I was at the low end of the normal for mercury. Three different naturopaths had told me previously that this would be the case and that testing would be a waste of time with an MD. The reason for this is your body stores mercury in your tissues to prevent it from doing it's damage so testing blood and urine levels will appear normal except in cases of a very recent high exposure. They say you have to first take a chelating agent that draws it out of your tissues and then test for mercury. Long story short, don't rely on your regular MD to test for mercury unless he uses a chelator first as provocation. Get a naturopath or an MD who uses a chelator do it. (the results can vary from low normal to 27 times about normal... I was 82 when less than 3 is considered safe)

I have also found on the frequent-dose chelation website that some people have gotten vibrating symptoms when they take their adrenal or thyroid medication improperly. Many people that have mercury toxicity have adrenal and thyroid problems as well. So symptoms that feel like vibrating or internal shaking could be caused by some kind of adrenal or thyroid dysfunction and not the mercury directly. In my case I think it's due to damage by mercury. Perhaps if you have no mercury issues at all (eg never had any amalgams etc) these glands should be tested anyway?

In my own case, I just had a battery of blood tests done that all came back normal. Including those for thyroid and adrenals. My doctor is convinced I do have problems with these glands however because I have many of the symptoms for problems in both. (he gave me checklists to fill out) I am now taking medication/supplements for both and have noticed improvements. (iodine, coritsol..)

What I've learned,

1. I think that you can't always rely on blood tests to tell you everything.

2. If you want your mercury tested, get someone to do it who uses some kind of chelator before taking the sample.

3. If you are vibrating or experiencting internal shaking, think about having adrenals or thyroid tested.(include a checklist not just blood test)


I am not a doctor, these are just observations and ideas on my own personal path to wellness. You are all welcome to discard them at your discretion if you think I am way off.

I realize this is an old thread but I want to say thank you to Travis for sharing this information.

I've been struggling with different symptoms and desperately trying to figure out what's wrong with me.

My most upsetting symptom is a constant internal vibrating, shivering. I have become antisocial because I can't focus on conversations because of this.
Another constant symptom is a burning in my mouth and sometimes throat.
My sleep patterns have changed dramatically! I now have to go to bed at 9:30 every night because I wake up at 4:00 at can't go back to sleep.

I've also lost 20 lbs (I was 155 and now am 135) because I've lost interest in eating.

I am seeing a GI doctor as I was suffering from GERD, Silent reflux symptoms and after being scoped was found to have Barrett's Esophagus.
However, when I ask about the internal vibration, shivering the doctor says she's never heard of that before.
My general doctor said it might be psychiatric so I went to a Psychiatrist and she put me on Prozac. It hasn't helped my symptoms at all!

I'm going to look into this Amalgam Illness idea because I am 55 yrs old and do have some very old fillings.
Coincidentally, when I first started symptoms it was a chemical burning in my mouth and lump feeling in my throat so I started by asking my dentist if he saw any problems with my teeth. He said no but I guess mercury poisoning wouldn't show that way :)

Thanks to Travis for sharing his research findings!!

Isn't this called brain shivers?

I also find exercise helps.
I bike along the Ottawa river for 1 1/2 hours every day and although the vibration is still there I'm distracted and enjoying the fresh air and scenery.

I've been trying to get help with traditional doctors but now I'm going to see a Nauropath next week.
I really need some answers to what's wrong. I want to get well!

Apologies in advance, as I know this is a very old thread, but has shown some recent activity.

I wanted to convey that I used to experience these as a child. They are absolutely not brain shivers. I remember them distinctly, and my body would spasm and vibrate, my entire body, even my jaw. It's as if you were dunked in freezing cold water, and then pulled out and put back in repeatedly.

My episodes would last for hours at a time, randomly dissipate, and then just as randomly pop up again. They were so severe, they almost looked like I was having mini seizures of some type.

I've never heard of anyone else having them, so to be honest, until reading this, I genuinely was unaware of this phenomenon. They are extremely debilitating and quite frightening.

Multiple doctor visits and no dx was even disclosed.

The only time I've experienced these same whole body shivers/tremors/shakes has been when I'm in extreme pain. It's happened in the hospital and staff thought I was shivering because I was cold and gave me blankets. I was far from cold and could barely pull together enough strength and coordination to throw the blankets off my body and could only utter the word "pain" because everything else was unintelligible.

These are frightening to go through!
