Standing on a cell phone

Hi All,
Has anyone experienced a vibration feeling on the bottom of your foot?  It actually lasts for a couple of seconds, stops and then starts again, lasted for a couple of hours.  WIERD!

I get the "cell phone vibration" paresthesia as well, but mine is my entire head.  Very frustrating to say the least and a little disconcerting as well.  However, my only diagnosis has been migraine without aura (made by a neurologist that I'm not happy with but due to insurance, am kind of stuck with).  

I see him again next week and am hoping he'll do a little more than throw meds at me and send me on my way.  Again.

Well you aren't crazy, When I started getting the buzz in my backside, I thought OK your losing it now... I had it in my hands and feet since early on in 1985, the backside didn't start until 1999, and it has progressed. Little did I know that it was a sign that the large bundle of nerves connecting the bladder, colon and rectum that were now being effected by the MS.
Sally I want to encourage to always report new symptoms to your Dr. I waited to tell my Dr, until all the bladder problems started. That was a Major mistake on my part. I was embarrassed and thought it would go away... It hasn't and none of my Doctors think it will improve after so many years......
Stay in touch, I want to know how you are doig. OK? I am sending you special hugs...

Thanks so much for the feed back.  I will mention it at my neuro appt at the end of the month.  I just wanted to be sure it wasn't a "crazy" only in my mind symptom!

HI all

I was driving my car two days ago and my foot started to buzz I thought I had dropped my phone by my foot it was quite strong so I pulled over looked on the floor no phone looked in my bag and there was my phone.

A few times I have been walking round the shop and felt my phone vibrate but when i got my phone out (which was in my bag over my shoulder) there was no calls.

I have taken the vibrate of so now I no its me not my phone.

I get that vibrating sensation from Lhermitte's.  It happens when I flex my neck forward and I feel it buzzing on the front of my thighs all the way down to my feet.  Although sometimes it is more of a sharp feeling, like an electrical shock.  
Cell phone vibration is actually a good way to describe the buzzing.  It's so hard to explain it to anyone who hasn't had those odd sensations.

Sally, I wrote a Health Page on this type of sensation, that is called a "paresthesia."  It's called "Paresthesias - Things that go Buzz in the NIght."  You might want to read it to understand what these phantom sensations are all about.

Yup, Me, too.  I think it's duct taped to the ball of my left foot.

The weird thing is, I woke up the other day, and instead of being intermittent, it was constant and very strong.  I just laid there, chalking it up to a paresthesia - THEN IT MOVED!!  My foot was resting against a purring kitten!

Not all that buzzes is a paresthesia.

Wow this is really weird, because I had this very thing last night when I was watching TV.  I actually asked my husband if there was a cell phone on vibrate by my feet.  How weird huh.  I just have gotten used to feeling weird things all the time that I don't even think about it anymore.  It is annoying, but normal for me.

Sally,
I don't know if it is a conincidence but when I pulled up your post the ad to the left was a pair of feet and the ped egg.... it just amused me when I read your foot vibration question and I could see those feet moving!  But when I get tired I usually am easily amused.

My best,
Laura
