Gena Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Cherie,About 4 years ago I was dx'd with celiac sprue, but prior to that my symptoms started out very neurological and I often had that vibrating/shaking feeling, kind of like you're a machine plugged into the wall. I also had a lot of muscle twitching. Once I went on a gluten free diet the vibrating and muscle twitches subsided significantly, although it does come back once in a while for a period of days or weeks if I'm sick or stressed, especially now since I've had POTS (dx'd July of this year). I had every neuro test done and they could not find any abnormalities. You may want to check with your neuro just to be safe, but often these weird things come and go without explanation. Hang in there, I know it's really annoying! Cheers,Gena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star382000 Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 sometimes in the middle of the night I'll wake up and will have a vibrating feeling spread with my heartbeat every couple seconds or so and I am usually shaky to some extent (diagnosed with POTS this past summer but I've had ADHD as long as I can remember which could explain the shakyness) And I've had muscle twitching noticably for a few years but always on and off (it's so annoying when that muscle right above your eye twitches or by your thumb!) But I haven't looked into any of this (I have a problem with just assuming that things like that are normal..) But just letting you know that you're definatly not alone. Do check with your neuro as suggested, hopefully they can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ling Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I get this and describe it like electricity running through your body. When it happens you shake and pull your body like crazy. I take Aterax or go for Aterax injections when it gets bad. I personally have connected it to my heart. When I skip a heart tablet or before I increased my dosage I use to get allot of attacks. When I was on Flurinef I had a few attacks a day. Now it is "undercontrol". I understand the feeling and know when to stop and rest or take medication. I personally accept it as part of my P.O.T.S life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Star, I get muscle twitching too. Its not too bad, I get it in multiple areas but only one muscle twitches at a time. I had a month of eye twitches last spring and I have a pinky twitch that come and goes, but mostly goes.Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
