the "ghost" vibrating cell phone...

[Farrahlicious]

just wondering...
I have been dx for a couple of months. I have been the rebel patient that refuses to take meds. My Neuro, at first, in the middle of my first attack, wanted to admit me to the hospital and start the Corticosteroids and i went all "Amy" on him (no, no, no!) we then got to an agreement. I had two attacks within a month and had about 5 full MRIs, and all sorts of exams and tests, but my immune system is in full force, so we agreed only in case i had another attack or my immune system started acting up, we would not even say the "I" word (Interferon). So i'm only on Biomeds and all sorts of natural stuff that actually, for some reason, have kept me healthy *crosses fingers*
Anyways, i have been having this really funny sensation, like when you have your cell phone on "vibrate" and it rings, you know? i feel it in my legs almost every day, and if i'm sitting down, i always have to check if i'm sitting on the phone or something. It doesn't bug me, i was just wondering if it was just be with "vibrating legs" or if someone else had this funny feeling. Since (after the test) we realized there was "connecting problems" between the brain and legs, i am not surprised. Just curious....
Big hugs to everyone, hope you're all having a great day!!

OMG, i'm still laughing! thanks for the feedback! i thought it was just me going through the mall looking like a Paris Hilton wannabe (eeewww) checking out her phone all the time!
Kathy, don't worry, my immune system will stay up as long as i have some good, sweet friend that could make me delicious blueberry pancakes, i mean, blueberries are supposed to be very good for you, right? *wink*
I love you guys! wait, my cell phone is... ah, nevermind. LOL!
Hugs and kisses,
Farrah

I'm not dx'd with anything (well, I've been "dx'd" with many things, but they're all wrong), but I get these pager buzzes in both legs, mostly my left, and it's also how my L'hermittes--if that's what it is--manifests. I bend my neck, I get a buzz. Sometimes, it also happens on the inside of my left arm.

Just chiming in... I also get this in my feet and knees, usually when they're under pressure.

I'm not diagnosed, but I have had experience with the "phantom phone".  Mine started about where I would clip my cell phone to my waistband of my pants or shorts, and I would keep checking my phone.  Then one day I noticed the vibration when I wasn't carrying my phone.

Not long ago, I had a little vibration feeling on the outside of my upper arm, and I didn't have an I-pod or anything strapped there.  I think of it as my nerves way of saying "hello, I'm here!"  

Do everything necessary to stay healthy, please.  You are so much fun to have around, and we wouldn't want to have anything go haywire with you.

Hugs,

Kathy

Join the phantom phone club. This weirdness has happened to many of us here, me just 2 or 3 times.

It's kind of like feeling that your behind or legs are wet, or as if water is running down them. That's fun too, and causes lots of runs to the bathroom just to make sure.

I wouldn't call this sort of thing a new flare, though perhaps others will disagree here. And although I would never try to talk you into going on one of the DMD meds, I do suggest you read up on them. Things can go haywire in a big hurry.

Hugs to you too, and all good wishes.
