Occasionally, I've been waking up to the feeling of a mild earthquake. Although I'm an "east-coaster", we actually had a small earthquake a couple years back and I recall feeling like the house was vibrating. This is the same sensation. It seems to be a whole body vibration (kind of soft, not picture rattling or anything) that starts and lasts maybe 30 seconds and then stops. It may or may not reoccur as I lay there. I told my husband about it thinking maybe there was a rock quarry or something nearby and I was just feeling that. Sadly, we live out in the middle of nowhere and there is no seismic activity (I looked on the USGS site...) The other posts seem to talk about only certain parts of the body and it happening during the day. Is there anyone out there that is experiencing this? I'm almost 35 and although it seems a bit early, my birth mom has confirmed that she also went through it early and I'm experiencing a lot of other symptoms (anxiety, mood swings, restless sleep, memory fog). I'd appreciate hearing from anybody to know that I'm not crazy and I'm open to any suggestions that have helped others.

tr33hugger,

I haven't quite felt the earthquakes you are describing, but I've heard others speak of having them often.

What I have just begun to experience are minor tremors in my pelvic area.

I thought, "Oh, WOW, this is strange!" Must be what everyone else has been experiencing.

Another new symptom for me is a very annoying dry mouth.

Feels like I've been eating chalk. I don't seem to be thirsty, but it sure feels like the Sahara Desert in there.

Could this be what everyone else has been describing?

Oh the joys of meno, hugger!!

Hi, I am new to this site just joined today - I am reading some of the symptoms woman are experiencing and its like reading about myself. I am 44 years old & had a full hysterectomy 4 years ago - I was on an hrt patch for 1 year until I had a TIA (mini stroke) - I went of the patch - About 4 -5 months ago I started suffering from major panic attacks & anxiety - severe IBS, have lost over 35 lbs - can't sleep, feel sick to my stomach- can't concentrate - I am at my worst in the morning - my whole body trembles like an earthquake - night sweats - you name it - I feel like I am loosing control over myself... It has been very scary - I have been tested for everything.... I mean everything. My bloodwork did show I am going thru menopause - AGAIN - I just feel like there is something terribly wrong with me. Doctors are telling my it is anxiety & panic attacks. I was put on Zoloft (SSRI) - been on it for 2 1/2 weeks now - HATE IT!! Seems to make my symptoms worse but my psyc. keeps telling me to stick it out - I keep getting meds thrown at me but don't want to take them. I just want to be myself again..... I miss myself...

For about the first two years I experienced "earthquakes." My husband and I would be waiting at the bus stop (in San Francisco), and I would feel this little earthquake sensation. I would look up and around at my husband and at the others also waiting for the bus. No one was reacting. I would then ask h, "Did you feel that little earthquake?" He would say no and quickly turn on his little radio to the local news (he freaks with earthquakes) and there would be no reports of any earthquakes. It happened so often, he just got used to it and wouldn't even look up after a while.

oh yes, the earthquake! .lol ... i get that a lot! you're not alone. Sometimes it's in the morning when i am waking up, still in bed, and other times, it's later on during the day. Yes, it can happen at any time, and can keep going all day, i've had that! I've had some terrible shaking, quaking, buzzing,vibrating....who knows what else!

Not exactly an earthquake, but my insides shake uncontrollably upon waking. I feel as if I've had too much caffeine, and this is BEFORE I've had my coffee, which is a mix of regular and decaf.
