Does any one else experience this vibrating, humming sensation throughout there body. It seems to be more prevalent when relaxing or trying to relax. It's just a constant annoyance like electricity is going through me. It's pretty bad on my feet and sometimes really bad down the arms. sometimes I think my cell phone is vibrating, but it's really just my leg(s). Left side of my brain also vibrates.

My 23yo daughter who also has fibro and she's been experiencing mini electric shocks that make her body shake. It's happening more frequently. We will be getting her in to see a neurologist. Her doc wants to do a brain scan.

Anyone else experience this sort of thing?

Sorry you are experiencing vibrations. I have never felt that way.

YES! For me, it feels like a cell phone on vibrate..as if it's on the chair or couch and I feel it..but there's nothing..it's strange. For me it happens mostly in my legs and ankles.
I don't get electric shocks, but I get spasms in my neck that make me turn my neck often.

Often when I wake up in the morning I feel the vibration feeling throughout my entire body, like my blood is sludging through my veins. happens after naps too..happens more when I wake up suddenly, or if to an alarm clock...but nearly every time I wake up. Just thought I'd mention that in case anyone elase gets that too.

Yes, I get the vibration down my legs. Seems to be worse at night when trying to relax. As crazy as it sounds.....sometimes it feels like my nerves are sparking. I haven't found anything that helps with this yet. Have had it since 2005 after neck surgery. Wish you the best. Please let me know if you find anything that works.

I get that horrible vibration in my groin area, at least that's how it's been for last few years. Now I'm starting to feel it in one of my legs from groin to thigh or both thighs. I only feel it when I'm laying down.

Sometimes when I wake up my whole body feels like it vibrating/trembling but lasts for just a short time.

It's one of my most frighting symptoms.

Are you by any chance taking neurontin (gabapentin)? I'm always searching for answers.

Are you coming off any antidepressants? Thats a VERY common thing with that.

Yes. I get tremors often (usually when I'm fatigued by weather or sleeplessness).

I also get what you described mainly in my toros area. At first I thought it was blood pressure, then heart and nothing synched up. I was left with just this sensation when at complete rest or just before I was waking up in the morning. All other times my body is in some kind of motion.

It feels like an electrical currant. Yes, I've been electrocuted before (a couple of times). And the pulse that runs through you is similar to what I experience but on a really soft and mild sensation. Phones vibrate too intensely to match in my circumstances.

I believe this is nerves. It's the only thing that makes any logic.

Glad and sad to hear that others know what I'm talking about. I've hadn't read of any solutions via Google.

I'm not coming off any antidepressants. It just seems to be more consistent as is the fibro flaring. It's been a tough summer.

I also feel like I have bugs crawling all over me. Very unsettling.

I have both of those! I get these vibrating tremors down my legs, mostly my thighs. Other time, if I have been extremely active, my legs feel like they have little electric shocks from hip to ankle.

I also get the feeling of crawling bugs. Drives me insane!
