My electrolytes are all in good shape. I first started getting fasciculations back in 2000 - a gradual onset over a few months until I reached a point that I was having several hundred per day - in large muscles - totally visible to anyone. This lasted about 3 weeks. Also other neuro symptoms during this time like heaviness of legs, fatigue and some others. During that 3 week time period, I also burned my arm on the woodstove but was unaware that I was burning it until I smelled the burning flesh. These fasciculations resolved. Neurology exam was completely normal (albeit it was not until after that 3 week period of intense fasciculations). Then didn't have any for about 14 years - started in late last year though never at the level of 2000. I sure wish I knew the cause. I've done lots of research.

Well, if you have a definite diagnosis of neuropathy, that can definitely cause the twitching.
Even if your labs say your are not deficient in magnesium-you still might want to try and give it a shot. I would recommend Natural Calm. It is a fizzy magnesium drink. You can start with a quarter dose and see how you do. Even if the cause is neuropathy-magnesium has been shown to help the damaged nerves communicate better with each other. |

I use the lotion as well. That being said, I have a decent parody song of "Infatuation" by Rod Stewart, but mine is "Fasticulation"...

I get them....the question is what human being doesn't get twitches from time to time lol
I thought this was part of being a living, breathing organism. All jokes aside I go through spells where they can be bothersome. I've had this for years. Like MrsD said try magnesium. I drink V8 and throttle back on coffee and it helps. |
