I'm Sh sh Shaking....

So something really weird has started happening to me last week.
I was in bed just on the cusp of sleep, when all of a sudden my bed started shaking.
I got up and looked around and I realized that it wasn't just the bed that was shaking
It was the whole house...

Now If I could just take a moment and describe the shaking it was like I ate a cell phone and It was on vibrate mode.

At this point in time: 3 things Popped into my head...

1. This is a dream/night terror that has leaked into reality.
2. My room is haunted
and
3. The house is going to explode.


I got out of bed and the floor was shaking, I put my hand on the wall, it too was shaking.
I went to my mothers room and woke her up and asked "Do you feel the house shaking?"
She looked at me with sleep and confusion glazing her eyes.
"What?... No..."
"Do you?"

Ok, so now I'm thinking, Ive finally lost it, It was bound to happen at sometime or another.
Like a mad person tying to find proof of sanity by convincing another person that there is in fact a pink elephant in the room, I asked again "Are you sure you don't feel the house shaking?"

My mother got up from her bed and walked over to me
"You really don't feel the floor shaking?"I said
"No honey I don't feel anything"
"I guess it's me.. Feel me am I shaking?"
She put her hands on my arms and was quiet for a few seconds
"Nope, I don't feel anything"

I then explained to her what had happened while I was asleep, she dismissed it as a dream/night terror scenario, and that was that..
Until a day later when I was sitting in bed with my sister and I started vibrating again, this time I wasn't sleeping and very much awake.
For me that means its time to Google.

So I typed in Vibrating while asleep, Shaking Graves disease, thyroid vibrating and so on and so forth.
It turns out that other people are experiencing what I am experiencing ...

If your interested here is a link to one of the forums I was reading...
Sleep Disorders


Its a lot of mixed opinions some people say its because I have an autoimmune disease others say I am traveling outside of my body.
Whatever.
All I know is that it is incredibly unsettling.
more then likely it is a symptom of my graves disease...
Just something new I have to deal with, I still in the process of taking test to see how serious my graves is, I just have to wait and see....

So, Um, Whatever...

So I'm leaving today for Dublin! I'm so excited!!!
Although I do feel a slight scratchy-ness in the back of my throat. I really hope I'm not getting sick, that would suck, big time!
I think I'm going to take some dayquil just in case....
If I am sick I'm totally blaming my sister, she has been spreading her germs all around the house! ugh!!
She never covers her mouth when she coughs its so gross!
I really hope i'm not sick and this is just allergies or something.
Well thats all I have to say today! see yall soon!

This is because they want to make your life a living hell!!!!
They cant just say here do this. No they have to play a game with your head and say ha-ha you have to do one of these.....cue evil laughter.
To add to my misery I have caught a horrible cold, I sat on my floor for an hour because I couldn't find the energy to get up. I felt like I was on fire and I was in and out of sleep all night. I am praying that I get over this but tomorrow, I really need to focus all my energy into my practicals!
