Buzzing/vibrations when I sit?

I have had this buzzing on and off since before my diagnosis.

I don't notice it when I am up and moving around or when I am lying down but when I sit, I notice it.

I it like this bzzzzzzzzzzzzz though the center of my body down my arms.

When I had this before it was an on and off sensation. Now it is constant.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have something similar that I believe to be spasticity. I notice it when I sit - I think it's because your muscles loosen enough to make it visible.

Vibrations/buzzing are perfectly normal abnormal sensations when having MS.

I do notice these sensations more after I have been doing things or exercising and then sit down. I have had vibrations/buzzing sensations with me from my first exacerbation and have simply learned to ignore them for the most part.

wow

Now, that's one I haven't heard before, not that I'm any kind of expert.

I don't get a buzzing sensation but I do get the occasionaly 'tremor' up my back when I sit down. I get vibrations in my legs. No idea where it comes from and usually, I can get it to stop by rubbing the area if I can reach it. If not, it is just one more thing to make the day interesting.

I have had the buzzing sensation in my private area like I'm sitting on a cellphone on vibrate At first it was funny and strange, then really annoying.

On another MS forum, someone recommended quercetin, which is a supplement that I picked up at the GNC. Took 500 mg. a day and lo and behold the buzzing stopped.

Now I really can't say it was the quercetin, it may have stopped on it's own, but I'm not the only one to try it successfully. I also was reading about quercetin on a site about bladder problems which surprised me.

Lhermitte's sign

I was told this was Lhermitte's sign.

I had it from the time after my first Solumedrol treatment until I started dmd's - about a month. It's such a CRAZY feeling! Like your tailbone has a built-in cellphone.

I was told this was Lhermitte's sign.

L'Hermittes is when you bend your head down and have abnormal sensations (buzzing/vibrations, electrical shock sensation). The sensation will last only seconds but can be repeated each time you bend your head.

If you were having abnormal sensation (buzzing/vibrations, ect.) without bending your head down, it is not L'Hermittes.

L'Hermittes is not exclusive to MS but when related to this disease is caused by a lesion(s) on the cervical spinal cord.

From time to time I might stand up and feel something like electrical shocks going down my thighs, shins, to my feet. It doesn't happen often. I don't know if that's like what you have but other members have described a buzzing electrical sensation going down the limbs. The nerve impulses are acting up again.
