I have these symptoms also, for about a week now.  I see a lot of similar symptoms here and no answers.  Headed to my chiropractor.  He fixes everything!

Hi,
I get the vibration or buzzing as some are calling it, haha, and I too get it when I bend my head forward.  I'm on Gabapentin and gradually getting to the higher dose.  Hopefully it will become less as I get there.  Being it's happening to lower back, legs and feet that's all I can do is think of music as I walk and buzz along wherever I go. Hahaha. Got to be slow music though as not very good walking at moment either.  Haha.

It is the brain interpreting the nerve signal wrong. You can live with it if it is bothersome get on a drug to interrupt the signal like Gabenpentin. Every drug has a risk/benefit ratio to decide if it is for you.

I went through Lhermitte's Sign when bending the neck with buzzing from the waist down. To me the buzzing seemed to be like an amplifier to any bump in my chair or if I were to thump my hip I felt like a hollow bell.  Interesting enough, I play loud music at work and as the music beats would go into my ears I would feel the exact same vibrations coming from my feet, legs and where I was sitting.  Pretty wild and scary at the same time.

I'm 44, ex football player who spent years in the weight room.  I would periodically get these buzz/electric shock feeling in the top of my head.  Some times when I talked loud or would sing a song, that would trigger the sensation as well.  Well about September of last year. I started getting this same sensation at the top of my shoulders and down my arms.  It feels like I have the chills but I really don't have the chills and nor am I cold. does anyone else have this sensation.  I am so afraid of going to the doctor.  Over the past year things have gotten worse and I just deal with it.  Now I'm having feeling of vertigo or feeling like I'm about to lose my balance quit explosive moments really throw me off. I'm constantly feeling like I'm tripping, whether that be when I go up steps and step over a seam of a door it like my foot is always getting caught on something, or if I walk by something its like I bump into it automatically.  I need some help badly.

I have buzzing in my right hip, not my cell phone,but close as feelings go. It on for 1 second then off for 1 second,lasts for hours, sometimes days, until I found something that makes it go away,at least until I have an new attack.  Just a little bite of some super-hot pepper.Like ghost peppers.   It really works for me. Not a cure, but stops it for a few days!       Papawky

Buzzing and vibrations physical changes are often the case when meditating. If you are too hypersensitive, you may want to consider more regularity in your life, strengthening exercise, ...

The inner wave like sensation was a feeling like waves of the ocean but when laying in bed. Being a group, 3 noticed it at the same time, and we contributed it to mold. And mold was there. When removed the waves went away. If you experienced mold, a physical inner cleansing, strengthening program and healthy diet may help get back to normal. However, a jerk can also occur with returning back to the body after astral travelling. I am surprised that in this discussion not more consider a more spiritual cause, which also includes tingling, ringing of the ears, and jerking of the body, etc.

Found this with google! Scary that it's on an MS forum though, never considered that I might have that... I've been having short bouts of buzzing in my hands and upper thighs mostly for a while now, short and real enough for me to actually check if my phone was near that spot, but lately it's been increasing in frequency so I figured it was time to look it up. I'm a 22 yof and I'm not diagnosed with anything but ADHD and Raynaud's syndrome I suppose, but I really, really think I have hypothyroidism. I have at least 90% of all of the symptoms I've ever seen listed for the disease, and every time I get to looking up a symptom or group of symptoms I get diseases (chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, narcolepsy, anemia, etc) that all just seem to be related to hypothyroidism somehow or commonly confused with hypothyroidism, but I've gotten 2 blood tests showing up negative and my doc refuses to consider it anymore.

Has anyone here ever considered that they might have hypothyroidism? A few of the posts above certainly sounded like they might!

If you read Amy Tam and her Lyme disease accounts, she too feels like she is buzzing. I know it is BACTERIA, bacteria that cause infections and probably autoimmune problems. These guys reside in your gut mostly from the information I've been collecting, but think in brain also, in my case.

So why would you vibrate? I'm guessing it's your body trying to keep your temp up to fight off the anaerobic (live w/o oxygen) bacteria. As some expressed, they keep you up at night because of the vibration. I just googled "body vibrating" and came on this sight.

Get a thermogram and see if you have gut inflammation (there is no allopathic test for it). Also, if you've got MS, look at Dr. Terry Wahls' site. She beat MS.

They did the exact same thing to me. The idiot neurologist said psychiatrist only after he couldn't decide what it might be.

I have vibrations over my entire body.  It started late December 2011 in just my left foot.  It went away so I thought nothing of it.  It came back in February of 2012.  This time in both feet and legs. With in a few weeks it had started in my hands and arms.  Now it is June 2012 and its none stop.
If there is a quick temp change from warm to cold.  It is like an electrical shock to my entire body.  I am a 46 year old male.  With no other health problems besides minor high blood presure.

I am to spooked to talk to my doctor about it.

Its caused by scar tissue aggravating my nerves on my spine at C-5.  Yes I bend my head forward and my whole body goes into vibration mode.  So I try not to bend my head.  Started after an Exacerbation I had Nov 2011, has not quit and I do not believe it will but who knows???http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8352672

I woke up today because my entire right leg was buzzing and vibrating in pulses. I checked my cell phone..it was off, I checked my partners phone and nothing. I laid back down and the buzzing just kept pulsing. It was so strange.I walked down the steps to make coffee and kept feeling it as I stood in the kitchen, I was thrilled when I searchrd the issue and so many MS sufferers had felt the same. I now know its real and I am not crazy!!  Ty everyone!

It might be a symptom of MS, Hayley.  What you describe could be a manifestation of L'hermitte's Sign, an electric shock-like sensation which occurs with flexion of the neck.  A visit with a neurologist who specializes in MS might very well be in order, dear.  Check first, though - not all neurologists specialize in MS.  Please don't waste time with one who doesn't.
