I've had the buzzing tremor thing in my abdomen on occasion.
I always had that when my intestines get riled up. I have a GI birth defect, with my organs twisted up and when they get a bug or gassy, I can get this buzzing thing, and I know I'll be going to the bathroom soon! I always connected it to the GI problem, not the PN, since I had it when I was a kid.

Right now I am having full body internal tremors and they are driving me bonkers. I do not take any meds except for levothyroxine (for low thyroid) so I can't blame it for producing tremors or I'd have them every single day.

I was just thinking that maybe there's a drug I can take to reduce them. They are second in discomfort only to my inability to walk without using a walker.

It's interesting that you also experience these frightening symptoms...sometimes I feel quite alone with this. Thank you for posting.

Invisable,

When I was on Gabapentin (for about 4 weeks) I did have those internal tremors when I first woke up, only for about 30 seconds. Then when I switched to Lyrica I don't have them as much, only like once every 2 weeks. Also, the twitches are alot better since I switched to Lyrica.

i still get the twitches and the tremor on lyrica over gabapentin. off and on lyrica i still get them. they are just less on teh lyrica.

It is reassurring to hear you had the same on Gabapentin, sounds like that's my answer, I am thinking about asking for Lyrica, heard it is more potent, therefore dosage is less, therefore less weight gain. Don't get me wrong I am happy the Gab. is working, but if I have to be on this for life and have to keep upping dosage, I am afraid to think what may happen. I have had to struggle with my weight my whole life, so this is quite disheartening for me. I just hope the Lyrica works as well for me and I don't create a monster!!

yes kinda of like mini seizures . i also have restless arms . but with the help of Keppra dont have any more .

Lyrica can cause weight gain too. It also has not worked as well for me overtime. I've only been on it for 6 weeks and Ive already had to increase dosage twice. It worries me that once I get to the max dosage, what will I do then? I hope that it works better for you.

What happens when I reach the max dosage of Gab. or Lyrica for that matter, either we grit our teeth and I mean grit, or we bring in the big guns.

There has to be some big guns (that are legal) doesn't there??!!

lyrica is more likely to be abused so watch out for the addiction there.

I am on Gabapentin also and thought about a shift to Lyrica but as I tend to get used to the dosage over time I am keeping Lyrica for the future- does this make sense?
