So I have recently noticed intermittently I get this really light vibrating sensation in my legs and I think its my cell phone vibrating but when I check my cell its not. Does anyone get this sensation? Can it be from peripheral neuropathy and/or Lupus? -Brittanee

I get the vibrations But i call it a cat purring in the bottom of my back all the time. My nurologist said it is from the nurapothy (SP?) My suggestion is to talk to your md, Nurologist or reumy whomever it may be. My nurologist is the one who dx me. There are several types of it. I was told it is linked to the lupus but also people with Fibro can have it too...

Your doc might refer you to a neurologist for an EMG. I had the test and the treatment was a higher dose of cymbalta. I felt better overnight.

I have noticed when my legs get like that. I have rubbed my legs. I also take a hot bath with epsom salt. It seems to help a little. Of course most of the meds help alot.

Keep fighting. Fighting back is sometimes harder than being diagnosed. Each day is a new challenge. But you can over come what ever you put your mind to.

I just got my skin biopsied on my left leg in 3 places monday for the small nerve fiber peripheral neuropathy. I will have the results in a few weeks but the woman who did the testing said my symptoms are typical of that type of neuropathy so I really think its whats going on. Im on neurontin 300mg once a day but its not helping a whole lot.

Neurontin 300mg/day is just a starting dose, and your doctor will increase until you have relief from the neuropathic pain. It takes more than a month for Neurontin to work as I have remembered when taking it. If you have new symptoms whilst taking Neurontin, then you should let your rheumatologist know so she could distinguish whether the symptoms are from lupus or side-effects from medications. I hope you will feel better soon. Marie Previous discussions I participated in: Endoscopy Results and Lefleunomide (Arava) feeling bad - prednisone blood clot
