Ok. I don't know much about those studies, but from what I've read here, the twitches that had developed into something serious were twitches in localized areas, not widespread. Is this correct??? If so, then we should still have nothing to worry about since all of us complain about widespread...

Me too! I have been freaking out the last few days because I seem to be dropping alot of things. Not sure if I always have and am just noticing it more. Yesterday I was sitting at my desk (I'm a teacher), holding a pencil, and the pencil just slipped out of my hand. I've been dropping keys, a...

Hi. It's been a while since I've been on. I started twitching in early September 2008. When you mentioned the prickling feeling like a needle, that brought me back to right before I noticed the twitching. I remember a few nights lying in bed and all of the sudden I would get this stabbing...

After I yawn or cough, my right eye twitches like crazy. I've been twitching for about 4 months now.Dawn

Hi. Well, it's now been about 9 weeks since this whole twitching thing started for me. To quickly review, I get them all over my body, like pop corn popping. Sometimes they stay in one place for a while, but mostly they just move all over the place including my face and tongue. When I get them...

I get both kinds. More often than not, I get the random one hit twitches. Then there are times where I'll get a certain hot spot. Yesterday, it was above my left knee pretty much all day. But while I get those hot spots, I still get the one hit twitches throughout my body.Dawn

Thank you guys. That made me feel better. Just really having a bad day. I do rest my elbows alot, especially when I'm on the computer. I will try and be more mindful. With the knee thing. This is new, and all I can think about is my knee buckling underneath me. I'm terrified that it's just going...

Hello. I've only been twitching for about 5 weeks now. Saw my GP about 2 weeks into the twitching and she thought I was fine. Of course I'm still worried. Anyway, these are my recent experiences.1. Pain on right shoulder, down arm, through elbow into my pinky and ring finger. Those fingers also...

I've only been twitching for about a month, but it was real bad when it started (twitching all over, constantly), and that was when I was menstruating. Then the twitching seemed to get better. I thought because I started supplementing with cal/mag. Now just the past couple of days my twitching...

Yes, I thought of that. But I reminded myself of the statistics, and how it is 1 or 2 in 100,000.Dawn

For what it's worth. I was talking to a co-worker today, who happened to have two friends come down with **S. She said their first symptoms were not twitching. They were: for one friend, falling down and not being able to get up. For the other friend: she was not able to turn the key to start...

Thanks Bart. That was encouraging, especially since this is so new for me. No matter how many times I read people's posts that say their neuro said that **S does not typically start with fascics, I feel better only for the moment. That "doom" feeling just creeps back up on me. I try not to...

I also have been twitching for about 4 weeks. On good days I only really notice them while laying in bed. On most days, like the last couple, I've been twitching randomly throughout the day. They don't ever really seem to stay in one place. I'll get one or two twitches in one spot, only for it...

Mark,Your words are music to my ears. I just started this whole twitching thing about one month ago. I did the same as many others on this board, and googled "twitching". My life hasn't been the same since.I have seen my GP who tested my reflexes and did a number of strength tests on me. She...

I said DISHSHOAP too. I also had to say it slower for it to come out the right way.

No, I have not been tested for it. I have started supplementing with cal/mag and the twitching has seemed to lessen. I have an appt. with my GI doctor next week. I will ask her if I should be tested. I probably should for all vitamins and minerals since Celiac does effect absorption of...

1. I have always been a hypochondriac. Even from a very young age.2. Before this, I thought I was dying of Pancreatic cancer. Ended up being Celiac disease.3. In the past I was diagnosed with anxiety. I worry about many things, especially my health. I get upset/emotional very easily.Dawn

I have gotten that, only my whole foot or my hands get effected, not just a toe. Almost like a "restless leg syndrome" thing. It's a very odd feeling, and hard to explain. Dawn

I've probably always done this, but I am sure hyper aware of it now. I notice that I let small or lightweight things slip through my fingers. I worry every time I drop something. I have no problems holding anything heavy in my hands, and can carry multiple things in one hand, (i.e grocery bags)...

alyLeoNCali,It was interesting that you mentioned that people have noticed getting thinner and more muscular. I have gotten thinner, and some friends have commented that I look more muscular. What's funny is that I had a baby a year and half ago and have not been to the gym since. So there is no...
