Handling Chronic Twitching and Buzzing

[holisticdriver]

I have posted only a few times...I have lots of the classic BFS symptoms. I have been twitching for almost three months now (no weakness), had a clean physical, good bloodwork (except high cholesterol). After taking a Statin drug for almost 6 weeks, I started twitching (caused by Statin drug -unknown)...

Some days I can handle it...the twitching...the buzzing feeling in my legs...the nucleus of it all seems to be my feet. If I stretch my legs or feet it causes strange rippling feelings, spasms, twitching. Sometimes if I am typing, or press my finger, leg etc a certain way it triggers a rippling feeling in my leg or feet (spasms). Is this consistent with BFS? Please let me know if you can actually cause your own twitching by moving a toe, finger, leg, etc...
Anything helping fellow twitchers??? I am doing the B-12 and Magnesium thing... some days are better than others.

Thanks

I think your symptoms can be consistant with BFS yes. Sometimes the way I sit or hold my arms out can make certain twitches go crazy.

Yes if I move a muscle it might twitch for a bit then stop. Not always but alot. In the morning I can wake up to peace. Then I begin to move abit and bamm, twitch here, then there, then I just start to ignore em.

Hey even when I sneeze or cough that sets my twitches off sometimes

Hey New-Gal...I hate to post this on the forums (it causes bickering sometimes) but that is pretty much how my neurological Lyme disease started. No, I don't remember being bitten, no I didn't get the rash, and no I didn't get the flu-like illness. If you want more info, go to (The posts are under flash discussion and you can also surf the site and find out lots of info. You can even do a search on "twitching" and see what comes up. That is where the light bulb came on for me.) You can also go to for info on Lyme. I am currently on antibiotics and my twitching has greatly diminished but not stopped. Symptoms can be different depending on what part of the brain the Lyme nibble at.

Good luck. I hope this can be of some help.
