Its the prelude to pain for me , i should know i have it bad now , and its akin to being round a powerstation or some sort of generator, because there is a constant humming.

Strangely enough crossing my legs is usually the only thing that helps , although its doing little to help me just now..

Norah, I noticed that you have Raynauds. I have it too, in fact I had that a while before I learned I was hypo-thyroid, and I think the two go hand-in-hand, as well as other autoimmune diseases. Are you being treated for hypo-thyroidism by any chance? MrsD has mentioned this can be a cause of PN.

I feel like I am vibrating all the time, have felt like this my first chemo in 1996. Told all the docs and they just shrug, like I am making it up. Worse in the feet, never stops, ever. It is different from the fasiculations I have. Buzzing like an electric shaver.

i will ask the doctor on my next visit if i have been checked for this. it seems like i have had every test known to mankind but it's always possibly he missed this. i appreciate your mentioning it.

i have gotten so much good information from this forum i will be forever appreciative. lots of smart people here and mrsD has helped me more than i can say. to anyone new to this forum, you are in the right place and will be treated kindly by so many.

Have had it a couple of times... feels more like my feel being placed on an electric drill... I could deal with that more than the sharp pains...

Me too Ed. Better to have the vibrations that pain. Vibrations are only an irritation for me. I have enough pain with my constant headaches.

Everytime my buzzing is there, that's when the sharp pain in at it's worse! It's always an indicator for me of what's coming next.

But this is all over for me and it's yuck!

Now I am having one leg is freezing and other is HOT!

Interesting description! Mine started so "small"... kept feeling like I had a piece of tape stuck to my leg and it was blowing in the wind. It was right at the back of my ankles.
Now most of my pain is in the "tops and sides" of my feet, as the bottoms have pretty much died.

I find that when I put my feet up, if I "tap" them together, it stimulates the nerves and helps ease the vibrating.

I know everyone has their own way of dealing with this, but again, for the newbies, finding ways to deal with pain and issues above, beyond, and beside, medication is worth trying!

I have to keep my shoes on, and I lightly tap my feet together to counteract the vibrating. I think it just sends a different "signal" to my brain, and interrupts the vibrating signal! It doesn't make it stop, it just eases it for the small period of time the pain and vibrating is happening.

Like my mom used to say, just take what you need and leave the rest!
Good luck, and God Bless!

I can see you tapping your feet together like Dorothy on the Wizard of Oz.I may try that the next time mine are buzzing.

I find nerves fascinating, just reading all the different views here. We are all very different yet the same. It's strange what we can't feel and even strager the things we can feel. I used to be very ticklish, not anymore. I was told that my tickle nerves have died, which is ok, I hate being tickled. Yet, if something is just barely touching my arm, it sends chills through me.

At least we all understand each other.

Last night was probably the worst night in a while... I tried to fall asleep with my legs over the end of the bed... but, whenever I barely moved my feet, it was like they were asleep and someone touched them... that sent tingling all over my feet... I got up after 2 hours of tossing and turning to find the "right spot" ... took another tramadol (took 1 before bed)... and went to the living room to eat some cheese and crackers... 2+ hours later, I was at a point were I could fall asleep... and headed back to bed... weird... really weird... hope that was the last time for those "feelings"...
