Interesting topic...I am also right handed and twitch mostly on my left side. In fact, most of my symptoms in general are on my left side. This is interesting...I'm curious to see what others have to say. It's always made me nervous that everything is on one side...hmmm??? Renae

I am so relieved to hear that the shock-like feelings are normal when dealing with bfs. when reading the other posts, i didn't read that as a common symptom. i also have lots of humming internally. i want to have another baby, but am afraid that it will get worse. thanks for all your help...

Hi there- I have also experienced the numbness in my face. My doctors have always told me that is a classic sign of anxiety... :unsure: So, I've always just attributed it to that. Just thought I'd share. It is very unsettling, though. Sorry to hear you're having those same symptoms. Take...

I get the same thing, infact I got this before the twitches started. Kerri

Hi there- I tried a magnetic sleep system which included a matress pad, blanket, pillow & even some magnetic insoles for my shoes. I know that this has been very helpful for some people, but unfortunately it didn't help me personally. But most dealers of these magnetic aids will allow you to...

Great post, Nole! You are so right. Take care and God Bless... Renae :)

Hi Gary- I'm sorry to hear that you've been suffering with muscle/joint pain, too! My symptoms actually started over a year ago...last July. It all started with a bad episode of vertigo and then I started twitching, getting pins & needles and that kind of thing. The twitching has gotten...

Hi Renee- Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry I had you worried that something bad had happened! Yes, I hope the medication works too! I'm so sick of feeling like crap all the time!! I'm sure you can relate! That's weird that you get that low grade fever thing every once in a while...you...

Hi Kim- The medication is Plaquenil. It's actually used to treat autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus and I guess the "non specific" ones, too. I know others have posted here about having elevated ANA levels, so I'm not sure what the connection is there. I wish I knew more...

Welcome! I'm glad you found the site...it has provided a lot of comfort for many of us and I hope it will do the same for you! I agree with Susan and Jenn about staying away from many of the other sites. It will just cause you additional anxiety that I'm sure you don't need! Take care! Renae :)

Sandy- Great news! I'm glad your appointment went well and you left feeling relieved. Sounds like the neurologist was very helpful in calming your nerves. That's wonderful! Take care- Renae :) And Pam....Good luck with your appointment tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you!

Hi Kael- Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. It is very frustrating, I'm sure. The symptoms you describe with your legs sound similar to what I've experienced....a lot of twitching, weak feeling, achy and easily fatigued. I also have everything worse on my left side. That's...

I had a terrible night last night and now I'm all shook up. My knee twitched constantly and my legs felt warm and tingly. I still feel the same way - I walked about a mile to work and when I sat down my knee is still twitching and the weird thing is that I feel like something is crawling over...

I take 20mgs of Lexapro for depression and OCD. I take xanax sometimes when I'm really twitchy and it almost stops it completely. My GP will only give me a certain amount at a time because they are addictive. I've heard some people take klonopin, which seems to work and isn't addictive. I...

That's wonderful news, Pam! I'm so happy for you! Take care! Renae :)

Thank you for the helpful post and congratulations! That's great news! Renae :)

Hey Marcin- I have a similar thing...it's almost like the back of my thigh is sore. Like you said, not sharp pain but more of a tenderness I guess. Mine comes and goes, but lately seems to be around more. The Rheumatologist says he thinks I may have a mild fibromyalgia-like syndrome. I...

That's great, Jenn! I'm so glad to hear that you had a successful visit and left feeling reassured! You are always such a great support to everyone here...I'm glad to hear you've had a good day! Take care- Renae :)

Pole, Also have had recurrent Herpes Simplex for 20+ years with 6-8 outbreaks per year and am searching for a link between fasciculations and that particular virus. Anybody else out there with any info on this?

I have also experienced this "electric shock" like feeling. It happens fairly infrequently, but when it does...it freaks me out! I would be interested in knowing if there is an actual name for this symptom. I'm sure somebody on here knows!!
