That sensation is very real and quite common with MS — and you're definitely not alone in experiencing it! Internal tremors are described as a vibrating or buzzing feeling inside the body that isn't visible from the outside.
A MyMSTeam member described it perfectly: "I feel it a lot at night or when I'm lying around for a while. I can feel the lower half of my body vibrating like I'm lying on a vibrating bed." In MS, nerve damage can disrupt signals in the central nervous system, which doctors believe may trigger these internal vibration sensations. Research shows that nearly 36% of people with MS experience internal tremors, so it's more common than many realize.
The frequency can vary quite a bit from person to person:
- 32% feel them once a day
- 29% experience them two or three times a week
- 39% feel them four to seven times a week If the sensation is new, getting worse, or bothering you, it's worth mentioning to your neurologist. They can help identify what's driving it and explore management options. Stress and fatigue have also been linked to triggering internal tremors, so managing those may help too.
