Buzzing sensation in foot

[medco]

For the past 2 days, I've had this constant buzzing sensation in my left foot. It comes and goes every 6 seconds. However, when I walk, and when I do other activities that require a lot of attention, the sensation disappears.

I seem to be getting different sensations, all paresthesia, that come and go every couple of weeks.

During these periods, I also get anxious, so I'm not sure if its anxiety or the paresthesia that's the cause.

What could this be?

I also have epilepsy and panic/anxiety attacks. I am currently on Tegretol and Paxil.

Actuall, if you could simply copy and paste your question in here this would save me time and get you a quicker response from me. :)

Thanks,

**here is my post**
I've been reading this forum for a while to see what help or answers I can come up with for my dd, but since I haven't been able to post on the Dr side I thought I try here. Some on this forum seem very well educated in this area.
My dd is 4 yrs and in Sept she had an unexplained seizure. She was sitting on a sit n spin for a couple seconds when she fell back and went into a seizure. We got her into a Ped neuro Dr since it wasn't fever related or anything. Since the seizure she has had headaches several times a week (only lasting a few min) and complains that her R eye 'hurts'. At first we thought something was in her eye, but after the 3rd time we figured something else was going on. She does have glasses (vision -2.0 R eye & -3.0 in L). She had a MRI and EEG done which came back ok only thing noted was Paranasal Sinus Disease. They put her on antibiotic for 10 days, no change. Over the past month and half she has started having tingling (needle feelings) in her hands and feet. Again, only lasting a couple minutes at a time until yesterday. We were in the car and this time it lasted for about 20 minutes in her R foot. She was screeming so hard I almost took her to the ER.
As you can imagine I'm concerned for her and have talked to the Ped Neuro Dr and they have ordered another amblitory EEG in March.
Just wondering if anyone out there may have some other suggestions about what could be going on with her. She is otherwise a VERY active kid.
Oh, I have had her eyes examined by a Ped Optho Dr as well.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Dear Friend,
Please be advised that my response to you is not professional, is not medical advice, is educational, and that I am not a representative of MEDHELP.


With that said,
I am sorry to hear of your daughters seizure and headaches and the associated anxiety that is accompanying these sequences. I am glad to hear that her MRI was clear.
I am sure that you are aware that Paranasal Sinus Disease (PND) can cause migraine, general headaches, and head pain? The parethesias that you describe in her can commonly be experienced in a viral situation and perhaps ten days and the dosage (unknown) was not powerful enough for whatever was the problem to begin with?
Headache and eye pain (I am assuming that there is no neuritis) are common side effects of PND but are non-specific.
It seems to be one of those unfortunate situations where the test is time and waiting. I would hope and imagine that if she was in serious danger these specialists would have noted that and taken proper precautions and thus I would not worry too much on that level.
She may have a migraine disorder, a viral infection or this may all be tied to unfinished business with PND. I would perhaps consider a combinatory effect with a virus (perhaps now dead or present) with PND.
Unfortunately there can be so many causes that I am left with little more to give for ideas. If you have the insurance I would now see an ear and headache specialist. The seizure/s is the biggest concern here.  

Good Luck!
JCmcc.

Thanks very much for your response.  It did help to calm the nerves down a bit!  
As you can imagine I just hate seeing her go through this almost daily now.  Time will tell.

Again, thanks!

I am so sorry that you haven't had the opportunity to post.  It must be luck of the draw - It tried for about 1 mo. and then some time in the middle of the day it let me in.  Anyway, you have Lyme Disease induced MS?  I was unaware that Lyme could do that, of course, I don't know much about Lyme yet.  However, if you've seen my posts, I am going to get tested for it soon hopefully.  I was bitten 20 yrs ago and the head of the tick (in Indianapolis) stayed in my scalp for a week, then I developed lumps all over my head that disappeared a bit after a doctor removed the tick.  I grew up in WV, w/ plenty of deer and dogs/cats.  I don't know what to make of it.  Thanks in advance for any input.
