Hi, I'm also a Christian and speak in tongues, but I've never buzzed while doing so. :)

I also take vitamin supplements, and have for six years, but never started buzzing until two years ago, when all of my other odd neurological symptoms started. (I did get married three months prior to the onset of my symptoms. Maybe I'm allergic to my husband! :eek: )

I haven't been diagnosed yet, so I don't have a clue as to what is causing my buzzing. It sure is interesting though!

buzzing, brain zaps, mvp
 

Yes! It feels like someone plucked a guitar string and it is still reverberating..but i your description is right on...
well ...i know this post was a long time ago...but I have had this in my lower legs for over 20 years now..and it is only very slightly worse...so...no diagnosis of anything..checked for MS years ago..
i also get brain zaps, have MVP with palpitations...and pressure headaches...finally I just try and ignore it all...i am still here and am in my 40's , have been to countless doctors...so now I try not to worry too much about things...just wanted to pass this along..I'm not saying dont try and figure out what is wrong..its just i spent sooo much time in docs offices...and they really could not help...eat as best you can, and live each moment to its fullest..

One of my first MS sx's were a vibration sensation in both hands and both feet. When I met my current MS specialist, he asked about the sx you currently have. I think it is called L'hermittes?

Hi nelsonks,
Welcome!

Yes the good old buzzing feeling. I have numbness and tingling in my feet and legs to knees, but when I have a relapse I get that awful buzzing too (Vibration).

My MS doctor puts a tuning fork to the bottom of my feet and tells me to tell him when I can't feel the buzz anymore. So, if I am in a relapse I can't tell. I said to him, I have my own buzzing going on, so I can't tell when the tuning fork stops buzzing.

BTW, Nice to meet you, and for you to join us. :)

Waiting for dx/limbo-land....

I thought this buzzing thing was all in my head. Ironically as I was sitting at the computer reading this thread my bottom right foot started buzzing then it went up into my entire leg. This happens ALL the time. It drives me nuts! :p Wish the Fairy Godmother would wave her magic wand and have it disappear.

Rhiannon has this happen to the legs and it is impossible to sleep when it happens and it is impossible to stop it

There have been many attempts to try to stop it but nothing works

Possible reasons for buzzing
 

Fisticulations due to MS may create that buzzing sensation.

I find that if you research the proper terminology and impress the neurologist with your knowledge, they must confirm or deny the symptom.

If a doctor would try to prescribe anti-anxiety medication, I'd kick him to the curb and find a new doctor. :grouphug:

Buzzing legs
 

I think I get this too only the buzzing is much more rapid than a cell phone or cat purring...more like a tuning fork going off from the knees down.

If I take a baclofen and Requip together....the buzzing seems to abate. Ativan is only going to help with the anxiety of it all.....however Ativan helps me when I feel a bit off balance......don't know how or why but Doc says it seems to work for very mild dizziness.....and it does for mine.

Buzzing Legs
 

Thank you everyone for writing in this forum.
After reading the thread, I clearly have the symptoms of a periodic buzzing in the lower leg - 2 seconds soft vibration every 15 seconds. This started only 3days ago.

I am fortunate that my wife is a medical specialist - a family practitioner - who then specialised as a pediatrician (6 years experience) - who later specialised as a clinical geneticist (8 years exp.) - who finally specialised in pharmaceutical medicine (12 years exp.).

With her help I checked some cross references about l'Hermittes. Apparently, this condition can be caused entirely by inadequate support of the head and neck when sleeping and poor posture when sitting. I will be using additional and more supportive pillows to support my neck more from now on. Her comment to me was: "I recommend trying this for several days before any self diagnosis of MS!".

Hello Philster371 and welcome to NeuroTalk :)

I already like your wife :D

I have never heard of L'Hermittes being caused by poor posture/inadequate neck suppport...interesting.

I have L'Hermittes and have had it as a constant companion for 25 years. Mine is MS related. Although there can be other causes for L'Hermittes, when it is related to MS it is caused by Lesions on the cervical spine...I have numerous c-spine lesions.

When bending my head down I get vibrations/buzzing from mid-spine down, this can last seconds but I can repeat it everytime I bend my head.

If you are concerned about MS please feel free to ask questions and we will do our best to answer them.
