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.

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!

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!!
