rapid internal tremor/ twitching/ buzzing/ electricity/ rumbling
Like most of you, I too have had internal tremor (which is at a very rapid pace), buzzing, rumbling feeling/ sometimes feels like electricy, like I am plugged into an electrical socket. I feel this every single second of the day, for years. I noticed that a couple of you mentioned you got this after an epidural. wow...for years, I thought that my epidural might have been the cause.

Then afterwards, the countless medications, and even the sleep deprivation in and of itself contributed strongly, I believe. I know there was some mess-up with the epidural, as the anesthesiologist and nurse indicated at the time. My severe sleep deprivation and sleep disorders started right then. Now, over 9 years later, I am still sufffering horribly.

I am feel horrific fatigue (from the non-stop twitching, along with severe sleep deprivation from virtually no deep-sleep. At a sleep lab, they confirmed my severe sleep disorder (period limb movement disorder). Also said it was restless legs syndrome. And, they did confirm that I had virtually non-stop movement in my legs. But, clearly it;s way more than that. I'm feel like I'm plugged into an electrical outlet 24/7. When the sensations are less, my sleep improves. I am on magnesium (which helped greatly initially), 2 supplements, carbamazepine, and iron. Also take a multi-vitamin and vitamin D (unrelated to this problem, though).


The sleep problems began after the epidural (and childbirth), but it wasn't until years later (actually after getting off a benzo (Klonopin) that the buzzing became far worse. Before then, it was more like electrical sensations. After getting off the benzo, it was full blown vibrations.

Like virtually all of you, I, too, get blown off and treated like an anxiety patient. I do come off as anxious, but it;s virtually impossible not to when you have a dizzying amount of vibrations going in all direction at an extremely rapid speed. I have pressured speech.

My cardiologist said I have abnormal electrical activity. Wasn't a surpirse to me, as I also shake with each heartbeat. Like a shake within my general shakes.

I don't believe any of this would have happened to me had I not had any medication/epidural of any sort. I also beleive I was predisposed to having such a neurological disorder. A family member shakes.

Someone here said something about being diagnosed with a mitocondrial disorder...can you tell us more about that?

I too have had all sorts of blood work. no answers. Nothing. For years. I need a support group for this. This site has been wonderful. Up until now, I felt totally alone with this. Totally.
