Kind of like internal, invisible twitches? Makes sense to me ... if there are "gross" twitches we can see and/or feel on the surface, maybe there are internal vibrations, too (in the "subtle body," as they'd say in yoga). Maybe an acupuncturist could answer that ... interruptions or little whirlpools in the flow of chi? This is pretty woo-woo territory, but people are experiencing this as something real. (Of course, what our brains experience is "real," too, even if it doesn't reflect what is happening in our bodies. Like phantom limb pain.)
But ... it would still have to be muscles doing the twitching, wouldn't it, even in the trunk and chest? Are there that many tiny muscles throughout the trunk? Organs don't have mechanisms to twitch or vibrate on their own, do they? ... they just kinda lie there ... except for the heart (which is a muscle)?
(I was reading an MG Forum for nostalgia's sake ... remembering the good old days when the neuro said I had MG ... and found someone there last night asking if anybody else felt "internal vibrations.") So it's not just us.
