The basic thing to try is soaking in epsom salts. This contains magnesium and often helps twitching. Do not use hot water in the tub...only tepid/lukewarm....about 6oz to a bath tub and soak at least 20minutes to a 1/2 hr.

Taking oral magnesium also helps. I have a thread to help you decide which one:

Many people do not eat magnesium rich foods anymore, and therefore become low. The estimate is 70% in USA are at least 50% low in this mineral. Aim for 200mg a day to start, which is 1/2 the RDA.
