Anyone else buzzing??? - Menopause Message Board

newbie5 · 01-03-2005, 03:36 PM

Hello, I've posted a few times previously. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced a kind of "buzzing" in their feet or elsewhere? I notice a buzzing/pulsing/tingling mainly in my left foot, some tingling/buzzing in my right thigh (along with muscle twitches). I didn't know if this was one of the many wonderful peri symptoms, or if anyone else has had this. I have read where some people have had "internal trembling", but am not sure if they resemble each other. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

I guess the choice of words many of us use to describe our symtpoms can vary so much...but if your "buzzing" is what I think it is, I could say I had it but I called it "pins & needles" "like ants crawling" "like when your foot fallen asleep" "the foot doesn't feel the floor like it normally does" - it was also on my left foot only, and was constant that lasted for several months. So, does this help?

Yes! I had this in my left pinky and my left foot to start. I described it to docs as feeling like a 'faint electric current'. Shortly after that started I also got random muscle twitches/spasms. More recently I get the 'trembling' sensations. It all seems to be connected!

Hi Beck,
I had the "trembling" or rather internal shaking sensations before and for a much longer time than the 'tingling' left foot. The foot thing was one of the last things I had that was weird to me. The internal trembling was really scary and unbearable. It hit me hard esp. in the middle of the night - my whole body would be vibrating inside and would last for hours - way into morning sometimes. I got to the point where I was scare to go to sleep each night not knowing what I was to happen to me in the middle of the night. At that time, I didn't know of any women having this and my dr. was clueless - they really should include this symptom in more peri-meno symptoms lists and books.

Thank you both for your quick responses! Becky, I have also described it as feeling like an "electric current" and also like I have my foot against a refridgerator or something electrical running. It isn't constant but when it's buzzing it is very annoying. I also have random muscle twitches and spasms-have for about 6 months now! Needless to say, it has been very scary! I am 41, and had no idea that it could be peri related! I have been to one neuroligist (couldn't find anything wrong) and am scheduled to go to another one later this month. Again, thank you both. It is very reassuring to know I'm not alone!
