Anamaria Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Amongst other annoying symptoms that I have I seem to have a lot of muscle twitching lately. I’ve started taking Magnesium and B12 complex to see if that helps but I was wondering does anyone else suffer muscle twitching? If so, anything that you’ve tried to get it to stop?

I get it all the time. I also take magnesium. But I find it also helps wuth digestion. I get twitching in my quads, calves, face, ear, and arms. Maybe my butt sometimes too. De-stressing as much as possible helps. Keeping active as best possible (like, for distraction purposes). Getting enough sleep. Remembering to take my meds. And light exercise. I’m not sure if they’ve stopped but you can definitely decrease their frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the magnesium will help. I’m also going to start swimming at least twice a week so maybe that will help some too. It’s good to know I’m not the only one.

They’re more annoying than anything, but I’m slowly learning to tune them out and not exacerbate them by getting anxious or over-exerting myself.

Potsie1990 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I get them all the time but I’ve never done anything about it. I always just tried to ignore it. Great idea about the magnesium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI, I do have twitching also and it wakes me up for sleep. I haven't tried anything to stop it.I just figure my nervous system is going crazy making the nerves hitting the muscle making them jump, Until a couple of weeks ago when I stood when my quads were twitching and what happened my Doctor and PT has never seen before!!! IT WAS VERY PAINFUL(nerve pain). It was like I was getting shocked in my legs and then all over my body to where it finally knocked me down. I'm glad I choose to video it, it happened twice that night and then the next Tuesday. It's back to the annoying twitching now, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAB19 Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have severe muscle spasms, and I'm literally having them as I type this... They started with the rest of my POTS symptoms back in December. My cardiologist put me on magnesium, and it didn't help much. I saw a neurologist who specialized in neuromuscular diseases a few weeks ago and he said the spasms aren't a concern, so he diagnosed me with benign fasciculation syndrome. He said there wasn't much that could be done to help them, however, he said if I start to notice muscle CRAMPS those could be treated. I have had a few muscle cramps over the last couple of months but they aren't as bad as the muscle spasms. As of now, my follow-up with neurology is scheduled for the end of the year and he said if the spasms continue to get worse he would consider doing a nerve conduction test. Although the spasms can be uncomfortable at times, knowing they aren't something to worry about definitely put my mind at ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
