Has anyone else experienced vibrating and buzzing from within?
08 Sep 2012 at 10:12AM
I was just wondering if anyone shares this odd internal
vibrating / buzzing feeling in the limbs? Ive been "vibrating" for about
a week now - sometimes it almost feels as though Im shaking (though
outwardly Im not). I feel like I have a mobile phone vibrating inside
me. Has anyone else perhaps experienced this?

Hi Caro, I'm afraid so I call it Blackberry on vibrate.
I've been off work since March with an instance and diagnosis of Transverse Myelitis, followed by what I think was another event in July.
I have only had the vibrate mode since July...sometimes it's in my core/trunk and sometimes its in my head.
Its usually more pronounced when I'm in bed I have no idea why, and my husband says that I don't vibrate.........you know it would be funny if I wasn't so sick of all the weird sensations.
I am due to get the results of a recent MRI in October so I will keep you posted.

Yes, more or less all the time, to some degree. Just another delightful symptom.

I get this a lot as well. For me it's worst when it's in my
face, but luckily that symptom is not one that's stayed with me for a
long period of time. I do find you get some weird looks if you try to
explain it to someone who's never experienced it though!
I get it intermittently, it feels like a bumble bee, it scared me at first.

Well Im glad Im not the only one but sorry you have to share
this experience. Gillian, how did they diagnose transverse myelitis if I
may ask? Is the MRI in Oct for the TM or MS? I really hope you feel
better soon.
In the last week I keep feeling like Im really buzzing, sometimes its very intense, sometimes it almost goes away, today its really strong and making me feel kind of dizzy because Im just on vibrate all the time. At times it also makes me feel shaky too (like when you havent eaten enough and the blood sugar levels go down - except I feel that way whether Ive just eaten or not). And yes Gillian I also feel it strongest in bed but also when Im sitting at my desk working or walking about...

Hi Caro, there seems to be a link between TM which is inflammation of the spinal cord and MS.
There have been some brilliant posts on the subject...if you put Transverse Myelitis in the search box they are well worth a read.
I have tried not to focus on the odds of a one off bout of TM becoming MS. Unfortunately the TM really knocked me about and I lost a lot of mobility and became housebound for a while. As I was recovering I felt I may have had relapse and went back to the neurologist who ordered fresh MRI's as I had new symptoms. My concern is that the TM becomes MS.

Yep, I get it too, especially
when tired or stressed. After my (not so) pleasant morning, I'm buzzing
and shaking away nicely in just about every part of my body!
It never ceases to amaze me that other people can't see it!

Hi caro
Yep I get it although thankfully seems to have gone for now. I described it to neuro as having a mobile phone on vibrate implanted as well! Just another symptom he told me...maybe we could all set up a BT exchange! Lol

Thank you all for answering and for your sympathy. It is nice
to know Im not completely crazy but Im sorry to hear so many of you are
buzzing and vibrating too. Whilst it doesnt hurt (me) it is rather
unnerving and uncomfortable. Sometimes a specific body part buzzes
briefly but at the moment i just feel like my whole body is kind of
vibrating quietly from within. No one can see or feel it, just me (can
feel it).
Gillian, I will look up TM! Cant believe you have to wait till Oct for an MRI by a suspected TM relapse! I would have thought they would want to do that immediately.
Rizzo, Im sorry you are also buzzing and shaking today. When you say shaking do you mean like I described it above (as if you hadnt eaten and blood sugar was low) or do you mean visibly shaking?
Thanks for answering my questions :)

I guess a bit of both Caro. I
have visible-to-others tremor which is most noticeable in my hands but
also affects other bits of me. It varies day to day though and is worse
when I am tired or stressed. The internal, invisible shaking feels
like I'm shaking - like my insides are moving in tiny jerks, back and
forward, up and down, in and out, in random directions. When it's
mild/moderate, it does feel like low blood sugar - good comparison :-)
When it's at its worse, it feels like there's a volcano building up to
erupt and I know that my head moves a bit when it's like this although
most people probably wouldn't notice. Then we have the muscle twitches
and jerks to add on top - they are very visible, although I can often
disguise them by crossing/uncrossing/moving my legs/arms.
Tbh, I'm used to it all now so it sounds very much worse than it is!

Thanks Rizzo for such a detailed answer re shaking :)
So you also had twitches. I have had periods of intense twitching but i was never sure if it had anything to do with the other symptoms. I had an emg but whilst doing it the neuro kept asking if I had a twitch at that moment so he could stick needle in that part of me and of course for the 5 minutes the emg lasted I didnt have any twitches which made me feel that you need to be twitching in that moment for the emg to really evaluate you. He was unnerved by the twitches because I had such strong reflexes that there was a "self limiting clonus" but after the emg brought no results the twitching was more or less dismissed and I just got used to them when they came.
Re shaking. It does really feel the same as if Im late for lunch and am slightly hypoglycemic.
Have you had these vibrating / buzzing / twitching symptoms from the start of noticing something wasnt right?
Best wishes,
Caro :)

Yep me too. Always to lesser or greater degree in legs, and often in rest of body... esp torso... when tired or stressed.
I was in a shop with wooden floorboards and a huge chest freezer. Standing next to it the floor was vibrating like mad... that's the feeling I get. Hard to explain to other people but I suppose standing next to a washing machine when spinning is also like it.
Believe it or not you get used to it in time.

Hi,
Yes, I get this all the time....very hard to explain to people. I feel like I'm constantly 'moving' inside. A bit like electricity going through my body...or something being sucked up a straw in my legs....(weird explanation I know). Sometimes buzzing too.
Very strange...sometimes I feel like I'm going a bit mad...........

Well I am definitely not the only one who feels she is vibrating then :) Thanks to everyone for answering !
I get it as well. I sometimes find myself checking I don't
have my mobile in my pocket because that's what it feels like. I also
get it in my chest like something is in my heart.
It's a very odd feeling.

for sure!

In the last few months I have noticed a buzzing or even
fizzing feeling on my feet, particularly my right one. It is very odd
and I'm trying to get used to it.

Yep, in my feet, up my legs to half way up the thighs varying
in intensity but always there and often in the torso too when at my
tiredest. It's been there constantly since March and is irritating as
hell. Muscle twitches every now and then too.
Very weird this neuro stuff

Both of my hands tingle with pins and needles and have been
like this constantly forthe last 15years lately I've noticed a vibrating
feeling and what you describe is what I'm going through.

My back starts to vibrate when I have been for a walk. The
vibrations all started mid August, six months after my CIS. I went on
an hour long bus ride on a bone shaker bus and sat above the rear wheels
of the bus. The bus vibrations seemed to kick of my body vibrations.
Now I avoid long bus journeys and don't sit over the bus wheels. The
vibrations started in my lower back, then a few weeks later to my inner
thighs and now in my mid back. Its not painfull just a sensation.

I get vibrations too. Inside my chest and stomach and down my left arm and leg. Palm of my left hand and base of my left foot
