Feels like I'm vibrating!

[smg2]

I have started feeling like my body was "vibrating" - not spasms, or jerking - like there is a vibrator in my body.  Feel it most in the back, but everywhere else too.  Mostly happens when I am sleeping or relaxed - it will wake me up, but has happened once when standing. Does not hurt - just very disconcerting.  What is it?  Who do I go to for it? What words do I use to check the internet?

Since last Saturday I've had a vibrating/buzzing in the ball of my right foot on a constant basis. It runs a bit slower than my actual heart rate, and is more pronounced when I'm sitting or laying down. When I'm walking around it's not as noticeable.

I see a rheumatologist on a regular basis for MCTD (mixed connective tissue disease) but this is a first and I doubt it has anything to do with the immune problem I have, but I will definitely be bringing it up to him in August.

It's driving my crazy, like my foot is purring! Once in a while I feel it in my calf or thigh but its origin is in the ball of the foot.

Hope you find a resolution - if so, please let us know. If I find out anything I'll post back here.

Blessings,

Hi Tinabina

I am glad you got my explanation, I wish the doctors would.  They just look at me and nod not so sympathetically.  Anyway what you say about your period cycle is very interesting so you have also given me cause for hope.  I was beginning to wonder if just before my period I was getting these head thingys.  In the last few years I have got a migraine the day before my period, like clockwork, it tells me what to expect.  But I wonder if this feeling is hormonal, or related to the migraine and the blood vessels in the head?  Very interesting indeed and something I will talk to my Doc about.  I will receive results of an MRI Brain scan tomorrow, don't expect it to shed any light because I have been waiting for these results for two months and my GP had to chase them up.  But whilst talking to my GP she said she didn't think it sounded like Vertigo, because I got some numbness in my mouth after a really bad head shake.  However I don't know if that was panic or not.   Not to be nosey but I wondered what age you are, because if these are hormonal episodes would it mean we are premenopause, I find this hard to believe as I am only 38, ( Okay only is too strong a word) but you know what I mean, I am not expecting menopause for another decade yet, my Mum was 51 when she started.

Thanks

The first time I felt the viberation in my whole body, I was sleeping on my couch.  My family was gone on a fishing trip and I was all alone.  I was awakened having the viberations. They were so strong I couldnt move any part of my body. I thought I was being possessed or something. I was terrified.  The viberation lasted I know 30 mins. It would start at my feet and quickly move all the way to my head. It does this over and over .  This has been going on for yrs.  I have had it to happen to me during the day doing my normal routine. I just have to sit down and wait for it to quit.  I have gotten to where it happens now during the night and I try to wake my husband to let him see if he notices anything, but i cant move or talk.  And now when it quits, Im so wore out I just fall back to sleep and so exhausted. When I wake back up, I have a little of memory it.  The weirdest thing is I can feel it comming on and cant control it .  I wish some Doctor had the answers to this weird happening. But for now I am so glad I found that I'm not alone. When in the past talking to co workers, family and friends no one else had this problem. And I to talked it with my Family Doctor. And he had never heard such. If anyone has had help controlling this by a doctor please email me. at ***@****

I am a 36 yrs old male. I also have the vibrating in my head.  I had it happened to me 2-3 times now.  It always happens when I am sleeping and I always wake up from it.  I first thought it is an earthquake (I live in So. CA).  I can totally function but everything is shaking, especially in my head and eyes.  It usually last 20 secs or so.  I also experience veritgo 2-3 times when I am laying down.

After reading all these postings, I will a doctor appointment.  Thanks!

3 years ago at age 46 I was diagnosed with mono and underactive thyroid at the same time. The Dr. said she was surprised I didn't crawl in to see her. To this day the constant fatigue has not gone away. I have some days better than others, but there have been only a handful of days when I felt normal. At the same time, my vision has decreased and started wearing reading glasses, (although this may be normal for my age and just a coincidence). 4 months ago my head started buzzing during my waking up stage of sleep. Very strange feeling because it is very rythmical. Long buzz of maybe 20 seconds and then it stops for a split second and then 20 more seconds...etc. Once I fully wake up it is not noticable, but I still feel like it is there because something has my brain functions are very groggy throughout the day. Having a hard time getting through work on many days. This symptom is vbery consistant. Mild excercise seems to help with the fatigue, but if I over exert myself it makes things much worse. Sleep is critical, yet I can sleep 10 hours without disruption and still wake up feeling fatigued and unrested. I drink one to two diet cokes a day and one to two decaf mocha's. I am going to stop both for a month and see what happens. Recently I have made a major effort to increase fruits and vegetables. I also started taking B vitamins and vitamin C.
I recently started going to a licensed massage therapist that is treating me with Cranial Sacral Massage. A very different and wonderful technique that helps my cronic fatigue, groggy brain, vision and vibrating. Although it seems to only offer temporary relief at this point, she feels she can cure these symptoms given enough time. It has to do with facilitating the flow of spinal fluid throughout the body. Look it up and definately try it from a qualified therapist. I had an MRI of my brain and it was "normal". I am seeing a neurologist in a couple of weeks, but after reading these posts, I am not expecting any break through answers. My best to you all. I think I'll buzz off now. ~
