Did anybody get this, when i'm half asleep although still concious, my body vibrates like being on a washing machine, but as soon as i open my eyes and am concious again it stops.
 
Yes I get it often, first time it happened I thought someone was shaking the bed or me....as soon as I wake up fully it stops..I told my dr about it once she said it was a type of tremor...scared the **** out of me the first time.....
 
Similar.... I used to get major sleep jerks while in semi-sleep mode although they've been better lately. Now, my twitching seems to be calm while sleeping but just seconds after I wake up, I get popping from head to toe. -Matt
 
I've experienced this periodically since I was 15 or so. Probably 10 nights out of the year. In fact, sometimes I have a hard time forcing myself to wake up. There are times too I get bright flashes of light with it too.
 
kschoenhaut,I get this symptom all the time. It is the more worrysome symptoms of the ones I get. I notice I do not get this every night but majority of the nights. My neuro says that he thinks this is another symptom of BFS. Sometimes my chest is buzzing so fast that I think my heart is racing. I check my pulse an its normal. My EMG is completely normal two weeks ago. Brain MRi completely normal. Doctor is running three more tests. SPEP to check a bit more for the big C, Lyme check, and and Immuno-assay to check for auto-immune.
 
Just as an FYI. ANA came back negative, SPEP negative, Lyme negative. I still am twitching occasionally throughout the day when seated and relaxing. I still get the vibrations at night but not every night. The neurologist is lost for what to do at this point. I don't have any other symptoms of paraneoplastic for that to be a concern. He does think I have sleep apnea and that the perpetual sleep deprivation is causing some of my symptoms. My brain MRI was negative, so no ALS, no MS, no brain tumor. I have noticed some interesting skin dermatitis recently that the dermatologist said was nothing and gave me some cream. Otherwise I have nothing to check out further.Might get busy living instead of trying to figure this out but the *beep* engineer in me wants to find a logical answer to all of this. I have to realize that the human body is very much unlike a circuit board. Other than vodka I have not found another substance that slows down or stops the twitching. :)
 
I just wanted to add that when I was at the dermatologist, I discussed with him the fasiculations that I have been having the the testing I had done by the neuro. Surprisingly he said that when he was my age that he had fasiculations as well on his calves and arms. Although they concerned him, he said they lasted about two months and never came back again. He is over 70 years old and still a very competent, practicing specialist. FWIW.
