Been on heavy Magnesium supps for 10 of the 15 days of muscle twitching. It has reduced noticeably but comes in spurts still. Forehead. Calves. Fingers. Thigh. Popcorn pops....

Did probiotic recovery supplementation after the Sept 1 antibiotics. Recovered from that already. Still entertaining the possibility I had a primary herpes infection and its causing this. That red bump on my lip is indicative, but they dont usually just go away 48 hours later. Anything is possible.

Dropped all extra sugars back Sept 1. Havent had oreos or pizza in well over a month. Aside from those products which contain sugar that I can't control, I've eliminated it and already gone through the withdrawals. Soda tastes like candy sludge to me now. Too sweet.

I am still on the Doxycycline 400mg daily because it is the proper treatment for Neuro Lyme if you can't get IV Cephtriaxone, so I am heavy on the Kefir milk and refrigerated probiotics to prevent issues. Also have some diflucan coming in the mail just in case. Doctor will reject Lyme as possibility with western blot. He did order Lyme PCR however.

That covers all your questions. I just went to the store and it was uncomfortable walking. I am thankful that I caught this quickly and am researching all possibilities fast. If I identify the problem maybe i can reverse it before it gets bad. Most of this is just "discomfort" at this stage. I am only exactly 17 days into this since my first twitch.

Really dont know where to start with all this.
