Unusual medical symptom

[Tinijocaro]

This will sound very strange, but I googled it and apparently, lots of other people have had this very same symptom. Here goes:

A few days ago, I kept thinking my cell phone was vibrating but when I checked it, there was no call. Turns out my lower abdomen is vibrating, similar to a cell vibration but faster and not quite so obvious. It's coming from inside me and lasts about 3 seconds and happens every 5-10 seconds.

No pain, just this vibration. Not a pulse, a vibration. Any DIS folks out there ever have this? It is so strange!

probably a muscle twitch/spasm.

Yes, muscle spasm. I get them in my stomach quite often.

I think I actually posted about this very thing a long time ago.

Yup, I found it...includes an article about it.

I get this too, but for me it means that something is off, such as my sodium or potassium or my med dosages. Once I correct them it tends to go away. It's annoying, that's for sure.

I get the phantom vibrates on my butt all the time. My wallet goes in my back right pocket, and my cell phone in my left back pocket. Before I got this phone, which is flat, it used to keep my old flip phone in my right front pocket, and would often think it was vibrating on my leg. Of course when some one does call or text me, I never feel it go off.

Now if there's an actual vibration or twitching, it's probably a muscle spasm. My eyelids twitch some time, but not enough to be irritating.

I can say with certainty that this is not a muscle spasm or anything like that.

The thing is, my cell phone is in my purse when I don't forget to bring it with me, which is often. I don't think it could at all be related to my cell phone-I'm just not that attached to it and don't keep mine with me half the time.

Lower abdomen means stuff is constantly moving through peristalsis, smooth muscle behaves oddly at times, sort of like an inch worm. Also, you can't forget gas bubbles which move around in there too. We have different levels of nerve awareness. In some places we feel acute sensations, like our fingertips, while in others the nerves only register a dull sensation and these sorts of impulses can come across very strangely at times.

I have a nervous system disorder and my legs and sometimes my arms feel like they are vibrating. It's actually quite common with my condition. I do feel it more often when the weather is damp.

I'm surprised nobody's said this yet --
