VIBRATING BUZZING HEAD

[sandie490]

Hi All,
Does anyone here ever get a vibrating, shaking buzzing feel in their head.  It started a  couple of days ago, and last nite, it was so bad it actually traveled down the side of my neck down my arm and hand.  I have gotten those internal tremors in my left shoulder arm hand, and left leg.  This is a little bit different, I don't know if it just feels different cause it's in the heard area, but it was more of a vibrating instead of buzzing, or like a mild shaking.  It kept me up, it didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable, and like I said it went all the way from my entire head, down to my hand.  It's happened a couple of times.  It's unnerving to say the least.  It also seemed to affect my chin and lips.  It also feels almost like the muscles around my skull are spasming or tight.   Anybody?  What is this like my 6th post within 2 weeks!  I'm falling apart!  But, I know I'm not alone!    That's why we're all here right!  At least we have us!  Sandie

Had an MRI of my brain and this is what it said....

There is some prominence to the parietal sulci in the high convexity region bilaterally with prominent extraexail cerebral spinal fluid.  The finding most likely result of mild atrophy.  


Does anyone know what that means?   Doctor said my MRI was normal...

Thanks so much not sure why they aren't doing an MRI of the neck....maybe my next question.   Last night the tingling really increased along with pins and needles while vibrating.  Ugh.  Thanks so much for the info!  I'll keep posted...

TN and Occipital Neuralgia are diagnosed by the symptoms and the clinical exam.  If Occipital Neuralgia is suspected, they may do an MRI of the neck to visualize the C2 space.
CT is not really the best technology to visualize the neck and the possibility that a disc in impinging on the thecal sac.  MRI is the modality of choice for this.

As far as treatment, Neurontin might work.  The anti-seizure drugs like Tegretol might also work.  Some doctors might also use an Occipital Block with a mixture of lidocaine and a steroid.

Great info.  How do I get tested for these?   Would a ct scan or MRI of brain show any of these things that r not ms?   I have had a soft tissue of the neck ct would that show it?  Would a regular x- ray to spine show any of that?   Just looking for answers...sleep disturbance is pretty bad in the evenings and middle of night.   Would nerotin (sp) be helpful for the idling?   Any ides?  Right now they have me on small dose of Xanax,  but it seems after 5-6 hours it starts to return.   Somtime even after 2 hours of meds.  Doc said the med is an anti convulsant too.  Just need some answers....
