Thanks for the links. My EMG had various pathologies in it, adding twitching to that I fear for something more serious
I'll be calling a neuro who did the test tomorrow

Do you drink enough water? How about supplementing magnesium? I only ask because I had some twitching that troubled me greatly. Hydrating better and using the now discontinued mortons epsom salt lotion helps.

I still have them at times, but becoming accustomed to them and lessening them with the above has helped me.

I'm on 500mg chelate magnesium a day, I'll try drinking more water

The twitches don't bother me so much, but the abnormal EMG and twitches combined, I'm going in my head about what can that be
I'll be happy if they stopped only to discard the worst

I hope they stop for you as well. I am uncertain if mine have truly slowed down or I've just become accustomed to them, truly.

My wife points them out to me more than I take note at this point.

I find mindfulness, rather my cobbled together version of such, to be my most useful tool. Stress is tough on the healthy. It magnifies my symptoms like an obnoxious magnifying glass.

Easier said than done at times, but try and center yourself as much as possible. I know it is difficult. I still struggle, less so, but it is a battle. I'm better for reducing my stress and anxiety.

Thanks for your advice and support!

Did you had en EMG done and anything unusual found on it?

KnowNothingJon 03-07-2016 03:41 PM

Yes, I have length dependent neuropathy. I don't recall the specifics of my results, but it lead to my diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy.

Update: called the neuro, told me to get of lyrica, twitching is gone - yah! Pain is back - boo
So I think it was the pill after all, too bad as it was really working well for the pain, 90% reduction just in a week...
