This has bein goin on for awhile in other parts of body just started in the lower stomach area an its startin to kina bother me cause i dont no wat it could b just glad to no im not alone an people makin u feel crazy
I too have had the "cat purring in my chest" syndrome for a few years now. It drives me crazy, but at least I am feeling better after having read some of your posts and finding that many of you have had scans, only to find no serious underlying disease.
It is interesting that doctors seem to be hearing more about this recently.
Would any of you be interested in making a more concerted effort to organize ourselves, form a real group, maybe on yahoogroups, for example, (a place where we could post details about ourselves, which might actually lead to some conclusions, not just voice our symptoms).
That way we could find out, for example if this syndrome is concentrated in certain parts of the country, many different countries, etc. Mabye actually form a methodology for more scientifically tracking our lifestyles, and maybe figure out by ourselves, or in conjunction with some doctors, exactly what is going on here!
I belong to a (please don't roll your eyes) Feline Diabetes website and the work that these people have done is nothing short of miraculous. They have organized their data, have helpful documents posted to form a type of reference library, etc. If you would like to take a look, the website is www.felinediabetes.com .
If anyone out there is more computer literate than I and would like to undertake forming a group, www.yahoogroups.com is a great place to form a group.
I am eager to hear from you!

I have also experienced this strange vibration in my left foot, primarily the heel. It used to pulse, now occurs only when I walk on it. (It sort of feels like a wet gym shoe). It has been happening for almost a year now. I also feel wobbly sometimes--like a drunk feeling--like I've had a few.
I'm a 47 yo male in perfect health, and it is not likely that I could have diabetes or stoke, or anything that could cause neuropathy. I saw a neurologist and he did the basic workup, including the vibration sensation test with the tuning fork. It is so ironic that the sensation of the tuning fork describes exactly the feeling I am getting in my left foot!
Apparently there is a growing chorus of people out there that are getting these sensations, but doctors still have no idea what causes this. I have decided to forgo all the EXPENSIVE tests, as my research has indicated that most people that get MRIs to attempt to diagnose this ailment come back negative almost 100% of the time.
Since this is not debilitating, I will play the fatalist for now and live my life as though normal until I can get some definitive answers.
This is so strange!!
Okay for the past two and a half weeks I've been feeling really strange. I don't know if it's from stress or not seeing as I had diploma exams to write. I've been experiencing the same VIBRATING feelings in my head. It's exactly the same feeling I feel when I'm sitting in a vibrating/massage chair... only on the right side of my head. ALSO, the inside of my left ear has been feeling really itchy/odd... and I've also been feeling more CAR SICK... the feeling I would get if I were reading a book on the bus... only I'm NOT READING, I'm just sitting.
Anyone have any advice?
