hey guys,I was wondering how many people experience buzzing with this CRAZY STUFF? I have experienced it in my right leg and left leg and left foot. Does this have anything to do with Parkinsons? I read a post where someone said they looked it up and it was related to this. I do not want to google it so I was just wondering if anyone else had heard this, or is anyones neuro has said anything about this?Thanks Leigh
 
Hi Leigh-My left foot has twitched and buzzed constantly for 2 years now. I talked to my neuro and he would do an emg else where but not in the foot because he said twitching there is common and not indicative of anything. I told him about the buzzing and he said that it is just a different kind of twitch in a different location that can cause the sensation. I had buzzing before all this began in my left thigh...I was always taking out my phone to see if I missed a call....but I never did. He said its just a different type of twitch that we feel differently, like how we can have the smaller ones or the big thumpers. Buzzing is just another form of a twitch. How long have you been twitching now?
 
I get that, too. Sometimes in my calf but usually in my feet. I've actually had that sensation for several years, but never heard of the term 'buzzing' before I visited this site.We have tile throughout our house and it kills my feet when I walk a lot. My buzzing has always been bad on the weekends, because I stay on my feet for hours a day cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry. I always thought my feet were just strained (I'm sure they are), but I often wonder now if those feelings were already twitches.
 
I have been twitching 17 months now. And get ready for this I have had 8 emgs and ncv so many mris I can not even remember and entire stack of bloodtest . I have seen the top *** doctor in the country. But I still have times when I get nervous.Leigh
 
Leigh I am right there with you. I dont think we will ever not be nervous. Besides a few that are here for curiosity sake, thats why this site is here. Did you ever try high strenghth magnesium and a multivitimin? I am taking 1 500mg High Potency magnesium from GNC and a Target mens multivitimin and after about a week I do see a little difference. My twitches have always fluctuated from crazy all day to a few every minute for the past few years. Have you ever just flat out asked your doctor "ok hey I have had 8 EMG's, when would YOU be satisfied that this is benign" Maybe next time ask him/her that. I asked my doctor what my odds were. He said that after 6 months of twitching and having a clean EMG and no weakness/atrophy that my odds were less than 1% for MND and almost Nill for ***. He is the head EMG doctor at the largest Neruo group here in Ohio and teaches the Neuro's at Ohio State about EMG's. But still I worry. And anyone that is reading this PLEASE do not think oh my gosh I am not at 6 months yet! It was just because thats how long I had been twitching all together. Going to a neuro and getting checked out is the most important thing to do, and then to trust what they say.
 
Have been buzzing "1st described it as vibrating to my doctor" many years off and on, one doctor did tell me that it was the same as my other "twitching" only deeper in the muscles. I don't recall if he actually used the word fasciculations. He was my gastro doctor though. When I later told my neuro he just kind of looked at me and proceeded with the exam which he said it was "normal"-- when I pressured him on what the buzzing was, he just said something to the effect of "who cares just so it doesn't stop you from being able to do anything--it's just a nuisance". Actually it's now about 20 years later, so I guess he was right. I sometimes feel the buzzing in an entire limb, (occasionally, it's felt as if most of my body is buzzing.) Anyway it's definitely been a big part of my symptoms. I found that "time" is what makes you stop worrying as much. I've had these symtoms on & off for many many years and the 1st couple of years (I had continuous symptoms for 2-3 years originally) I worried most of the time. I didn't know to request an EMG, but from what I've read, one good EMG doesn't always make you stop worrying, even though, from what I read, it should--not an expert in the EMG Dept. though. This is a scary syndrome, especially during the 1st year or so. Hopefully, with you, as it has with me, your BFS symtoms will slowly subside to where you don't notice them, or even think about them, for years at a time or hopefully yours will even disappear forever. For the most part, I've lived a very normal & happy life despite having this. I still get "nervous" when I have a "severe relapse", but the fear is nothing like it was originally. I feel blessed to have recently found this board, (due to a relapse of symptoms & a new neuro giving me a 100% BFS diagnosis). I've found the people of this Board to be extremely kind and helpful. Take Care. Denise
 
HiThe buzzing in Bfs, is a fast fascic. or small muscle fasics, i went through this some month back and still get it now and again. Quite normal in BFS. I had to remove my mobile phone from my pocket as i thought it was going off on vibrate.Just class it as another sing that you have a benign condition called BFS.Good Luck and take care.Chris
 
In my good old BFS times, thank god those symptoms belongs to the past :D) I had also tis buzzing experience. Almost in my feets and legs but sometimes it was also in my arms. Don't worry it will come and go. And maybe you will belong to the lucky ones like me - after approximately 19 month all my BFS symptoms are gone :D) :D) :D) !Nicki
 
Hi--I get buzzing in the soles of both feet, and in my legs, every few days. It gives me something to look forward to after the holidays ;) .Mark
 
I also get buzzing.. in my feet. In fact, that's the only place I can really remember feeling it. When I first noticed the buzzing I thought that my floors were vibrating and that one of my kids had the stereo on too high!! I mentioned it to my neuro and he said it is completely BFS.
 
usually before the twitching wrath comes i experience a sort of below skin heating and with a low vibration feel. i guess that would be buzzing.
 
I get buzzing an awful lot. It has been scaring the daylights out of me. I don't really know a lot about ALS twitches or anything and I will not google. So, I take the word of my GP and you good people here. So far, I'm still going.Cindy
