Default Tremor......with or without Gabapentin
Have any of you experienced a tremor, either internal or external?

I have muscle twitches/spasms all over my body. What do you mean by tremors?

It is a quivering or shaking feeling. I feel it internally at times, especially just as I am awakening. I feel it in stomach or chest area.

I also get muscle twitches, about 10 or so a day, mostly in calve of leg sometimes in hand. About a year ago, I was twitching every second. Another mystery.

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.

Default I am in the midst of such an episode
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 know that alone feeling, with neuropathy the sensations are so bizarre, one can feel like a freak, but I have found, just post it, and see what responses you get, chances are someone will have felt what you are feeling and you will be alone no more!
