I know what the internal shakes are, I've had my bouts with them, but has anyone gotten this? I am sitting in the chair trying to relax and I feel this "wave" from my stomach up my chest and down my arms. It almost is like that butterfly feeling. Then it stops and will start again. I am on my last day of my period and I have noticed that instead of my anxiety being bad before I get it it is coming near the end of it.

Yes,I have had this-it is very strange-but I believe it is related to our hormones-I have gotten it before my period-mine goes up and down my back bone in butterfly like waves-You are not alone or crazy.GOD-bless

YES I HAD THEM IT TO ME IS CALLED ADRENALINE RUSH I USE TO HEAR LOUD NOISES AND IT WOULD DO IT TO ME.

ME TOO!!!!

ME THREE

Add me to the list. It is very strange. Sometimes it starts at the stomach and goes down my legs too. It used to scare me, now I know I am not dying, just hormoning.

I get these also.......I think they are adrenaline rushes.........they start in my stomach and go to my chest then my arms.......and my mind just goes blank!!....I sometimes go wks without them then they are back!.....Valerie

Yes. thought I was dying! I am still here 6 yrs later, so I guess they are not fatal. they feel that way though. Mine went from my legs up my body. so freaky. No words to say how freaky they are.

Hi mom6kids, I wrote a post on this strange thing last summer. I used to have the anxiety before my period and even some depression and exhaustion but when my period started, it went away. Oh not anymore. It's a crap shoot as to when this stuff might hit me. It tends to hit towards the end of my period. I still can't figure this out and it throws me for a loop. As if I am not already loopy enough...........lol Deb
