What a strange and unsettling sensation that must be! The good news is, you're definitely not alone in experiencing unusual sensations with MS.

What you're describing sounds like it could be related to internal tremors or paresthesia — fancy words for abnormal sensations caused by nerve damage in MS. These sensations don't always look like anything from the outside, but they can feel very real and strange on the inside. Other MyMSTeam members have described similar sensations in different ways, such as:

- A vibrating or buzzing feeling throughout the body
- Sensations like electrical currents moving through them
- A feeling like cold water streaming down their legs
- A pulsing or throbbing sensation in various body parts

In MS, nerve damage can cause the nervous system to send random, misfired signals to the brain. Your brain then interprets these as physical sensations — even when nothing is physically happening. It's always worth mentioning new or changing sensations to your neurologist or MS care team, especially if they become more frequent or bothersome. They can help determine if it's related to MS activity or something else worth investigating.
