Is this a Lyme thing, or a coinfection thing? I've tested negative for coinfections.
The buzzing is different from tingling, which I had for a long time in fingers and toes, and which has gotten a lot better.
But I feel a little worried that a new symptom is showing up. I've been on the same medication for a few months now.

I get it all the time in my feet and lower legs. It feels almost like a vibration.
I have severe neuropathy and in my case I think it is related to that.
Have you ever had your B12 tested? My B12 shots seem to help with this annoying symptom.
Also, my PCP put me on a new med called Metanx which I think is helping.
Hope you get some relief soon.

I get that too and was wondering if it is a build
up of toxins as I don't seem to be able to detox
well after taking a year of antibiotics. My body
is also itchy under the skin.
I never had this buzzing in my feet and legs before my antibiotic treatments. Any thoughts?

I get a "buzzing" in my legs and in my shoulders. It doesnt happen all the time but its like a fast tapping sensation. I cant feel it on the outside but sure the hec can feel it inside. It will happen for a few minutes then subside.

i get that weird "vibration" feeling. happens most in heels or shoulders. have that sometimes
in legs in randaom places. had this before lyme
dx. and nero. said is def. poly neuropathy, as well
as redicular pain, myopathy. i loose sensation
on pin prick test, and the tuner test. on cymbalta and neurontin which has helped lots!1
i also have these weird muscle spasms or i say "twitching" and have added baclofen, is little
better. my neuro. is treating all those kind of things, LLMD agrees with his tx. basically tx me
like and MS patient. Pain doc even increased
the neurontin dose, that has helped. have not had
the buzzing/vibrating since i think. really need
to journal. but, yes that is nerve damage. one of
the docs i see for the bio-identiacal hormone
stuff was involved in studies 20 yr ago on
lyme when she practiced in N.Y. She is co-author
on paper from back then. she was telling me how
she "happened" into it all by happenstance, but
when she saw the Bb actually go into the nerve
cell and cause demylnination she tried to show
anyone she could. she told me was most amazing
thing to ever see and is aware of how much
damage this can do. she has not kept up with the
new info but, trying to recrute her for out side...lol hey, may work!! tried with my
neuro but he said no way, not after the way
they go after doc for tx. leaves the lyme tx to
LLMD and he helps with the neuro stuff.

I'm not interested in medication to stop the sensation, unless it would actually help to prevent damage. Does neurontin prevent damage, or just mask the sensation?
Can the nerves heal eventually?
