The jolts only happen about once a month now. The latest things bothering me have been a) "baby kicks" in my lower abdominal area, typically lower right quadrant and b) upper back pain that gets worse w/ driving and better w/ massage and c) feeling weak (not clinical weakness) / fatigue.
I was told by a reputable doctor that these "baby kicks" must be abdominal wall muscle and not intestinal spasms, because I can easily see them. They make it hard to go to sleep sometimes.
Speaking of which, I've finally taken a mag supplement and not gotten diarrhea, so there's hope in that approach and I will continue to experiment w/ various types (e.g. Magnesium Malate, Chelated, etc) to see how my body reacts.
Now wouldn't that be a nice and easy solution?

Hi Slay,
I just wanted you to know you are not alone with these symptoms. I also have normal magnesium levels and I've tried every form of high quality supplement and get no improvement. I have twitches, jolts, electric shocks. I won't go on with my list of everything else, because it's too long and my diagnosis is at a dead end right now. They know for sure that I have polyneuropathy due to finding nerve damage by biopsy and doing tilt table test. I also have the fascilations in my abdomen that are so strong that it does look like a baby is kicking.
