Default Glutamate

I am beginning to wonder if there is an actual build up of something, Glutamate. That has been shown to build up in cases of traumatic brain injury and it is an excitatory neurotransmitter, so perhaps it could be triggering these pulses. This is currently my working hypothesis.

I know what you mean about the sensation building before it releases a twitch. The anticipation from the building sensation is worse than the twitch. I know I cannot change the building sensation but it gets in the way of other thoughts.

Weird stuff.
