How Frequently Do You Twitch?

[FreddieTheFox]

Hi ,There are a lot of new people on this board and I’m wondering just how much everybody twitches.Do you twitch a couple of times a minute, every 5 minutes, every hour? Let’s see who’s the biggest twitcher

didn't you have a neuro appt recently? I am curioius how it went. BTW I twitch constantly when resting.

If there would be a prize I would win it Yes I went to the neuro. He didn't order an EMG. He just did a quick clinical and thinks I'm fine.

Where did the neuro see your twitches? How many did he/she see? What did he/she say might be the reason for them? Did you say they caused you discomfort? If so, what was the response.As far as how much people twitch, this is hard to answer. I think some twitches just feel like sensations but are twitches and people may not count those. Also you can't see every place on your body. I sometimes feel a slight something and look and I see the twitch. Then I realize I'm twitching more than I think because the slightest sensation could be a twitch that is barely or not even visible. If you don't have frequent visible twitches, body sensation are probably not twitches. But if you do have visible twitches and feel similar sensations elsewhere that are harder to see, then you probably are twitching in those places too.Krackersones

The neuro saw them in my calves. He didn't gave me a reason for it, just called it 'probably BFS'. He said he knows it's a annoying syndrome and that you can't really do much about it.However I still have my doubts because of the amout of twitches I have. Many people here twitch 50 times a day. I twitch 24/7 in calves ( I know a lot of you too) but I also get them a lot in my back and arms, every minute

Do you get cramps also. I was interested in how you did at the neuro because I thought I remembered that you have cramps, which I also have.

 

[FreddieTheFox]

Yes I get cramps too, calves, hands and bicep (minor). Neuro told me it's all part of this wonderful syndrome
