No experience here, but I've learned over the years not to be surprised by anything and be sure to discuss it with your MD

Quite often I feel like I have a cell phone set on vibrate inside me. I've never done anything about it because mine goes away after a while.

First of all, welcome to a community that truly gets it — and hang in there, being newly diagnosed is a lot to take in all at once.

Yes, vibrating or buzzing sensations in the belly are something many people with MS experience. These are called internal tremors — a feeling of shaking or vibrating inside the body without any visible movement on the outside. They're not uncommon with MS.

One MyMSTeam member described it as feeling like they were "sitting on a pager under a couch cushion." Others have described internal "slapping" feelings in the abdomen, chest, and back. So you're definitely not alone in this. Since your symptoms are getting worse and you've recently started Natalizumab, it's really important to let your neurologist know right away. They can help figure out what's driving the change.

In the meantime, here are some things that may help manage vibrating sensations:

- Reduce stress — stress is a known trigger for worsening MS symptoms, including internal tremors
- Get enough sleep — one MyMSTeam member noticed their vibrations eased with better sleep
- Gentle movement — another MyMSTeam member shared that moving around sometimes helped
- Stress-relief practices — yoga, therapy, or light exercise may help keep symptoms more manageable
- Medication — while no drug is specifically FDA-approved for MS tremors, some medications can help manage them. Your neurologist can advise on this

Since you're newly diagnosed and just starting treatment, keeping an open line with your care team is the most important step right now.
