Thank you for everyones replies.

I have twitching going on in my legs, arms and mid body. They are very constant. I have about 20 per minute. I feel like I look like a crack head.... Is there medication to control this behavior? I left a message for my doctor this morning becase it seems like my twitching is getting stronger and more often.

I get really strong ones in my back, and my arms, my legs have them but they are not as strong. I dont have the strong ones very often maybe 4-5 over and hour. But my fingers have tremors all the time, as well as my toes. My eye lids/brows twitches a lot too.

hopefully you will get a callback from doctor soon,and find some relief.

Thanks Candice! The doctors office called and he is out until tomorrow. So I should be hearing back soon. It is nice to have a support system in place that understands what I am going through.

Besides the Lyrica I also rake Klonopin. I believe both are also used to help with seizure activity.

Hello Orrwhat,

Do the twitches look like the tremors associated with Parkinson's ?

Do you twitch more, say....in your hand, when you are trying to use that hand to do a task, like writing or picking up an object ?

Or do the twitches stop when you are engaged in a task ?

Or are they constant no matter what ?

Info on the above might be able to help your doctor zero in on the problem.

I don't believe mine are like the tremors associated with Parkinson's but that is something I will keep an eye out for in the future. I am still waiting for a call back from my doctors office. Hopefully tomorrow
