Hi everyone:

I was just diagosed with lyme about four weeks ago.  Luckily, I don't have any real joint issues (except my knees hurt occasionally and if the neck is a joint, it gets really tight quite often).

My biggest complaint is this vibrating that I get in my left leg from the knee down.  It drives me crazy.  Does anyone else have this symptom on an on-going basis?  Mine comes and goes however the last couple of days, it's really acting up.  (maybe it means I'm herxing???)

I would love to hear if anyone has a similiar issue.  I know that different co-infections cause different problems so I will tell you that I tested postive for Lyme with a co-infection of human ehrilosis (sp?).

Thanks and hope to hear from you.

Carrie

Hi Carrie,

I had all sorts of interesting vibrations, bubbling feelings, twitching and numbness in my right arm and leg for a couple of months. It really freaked me out - I was convinced I was slowly becoming paralysed or something. Sometimes it also felt like there were things crawling under my skin, and the feelings seemed to move around my body.

I gather this is totally typical for Lymes! Now I only get them when tired, and getting better and better all the time. It's a really disconcerting thing, but supposedly nothing to worry about...

I too experience these off and on
more on, i think when i am actively sick.
it was scary at first as all things are that are new and scary (whew I am havin a time) i too at first was petrified i'd wake up one morning and not be able to walk. Never happened !

Hopefully, your treatment will clear it up. Good luck.

Hi Carrie,

I too had vibrating in my legs and twitching all over. My head, arms and hands actually started jerking after being on treatment for while. It's weird what this bacteria does to the body....or maybe it's more the die off/toxins.

Cajun,

Hello!
Carrie, I'm on the downside again with hubby getting so ill!

I just get the shootin pains all over! When I feel like this, I welcome the bed! I love to sleep! Trouble is; I have
things I have to do! I'm blessed that I do not work with any company where I could lose that job. I work very little for myself. It's all I can handle.

Headaches and lettace sounding neck is one of a major symptom of mine!

Hope you have a good day today!

I have severe leg twitching (not sure if this is the same as vibrating)accompanied with severe leg and foot cramps, mainly at bedtime. I have found I need to add mag suppliments (LLMD has me on mag shots - but they sting - so I only use once in a while). Also, a hot bath with epson salts helps not to mention it is very relaxing.

Ive never had legs twitch but I don't think its the same thing. Imagine
taking a pair of hair clippers or any tool that vibrates and place it on your leg or arm, now imagine what it would feel like if it was under the
skin. It doesn't tingle or sting it feels like a vibration or something actually bubbling under the surface of the skin.. I first noticed it when I would get up in the morning then I started noticing it when I would lay down at bedtime. If you lay still for a short period of time they will go away.

I do believe that the actual cause of these feelings is due to mis-firing of the nerves (please do correct me if you know differently!). I have had this for many years now, and it is still quite irritating!! Sometimes it even feels like there really is something crawling around under my skin!! smhair I've had the 'buzzing' get bad enough and for long enough that it became painful for me for a time.

Those nice, warm detox bathes help to soothe those feelings some!!! Don't forget to do a little dry-skin brushing before you climb in!!! smilewinkgrin

I occasionally get the vibrating thing in the back of my head at the base of my skull.   The first time that hit, I thought a gigantic buzzing insect had got caught in my hair and I actually reached back to see what was there!  

No insect of course!  Really scary!

Does any have suggestions on what to take or do when this happens'
does it go away or is it there for ever my does seem to be getting worse'rather than better. Seems like every time i sit down i feel it now and sometimes it does actually feel as if there are bugs crawling and biting me all over. Totally different than the burning and stinging

Bri:

My LLMD told me that it's the bacteria causing irritation to the nerves and yes, it will go away with treatment. I had had ongoing daily symptoms for an entire year and once I started on treatment, all my symptoms totally went away for about two-three weeks.... I'm having a flair right now. I think it's a herx....I don't know but I know that they can go away because they did for me for weeks. So, yes, they can go away.

Have you been dx with Lyme?

Blessings,
