Right Hand Cramps and Twitching

So, my hotspot lately has been both hands and all my fingers. Especially my right hand thumb and first finger. I am right handed, so I am constantly using it and it feels crampy and everytime I have to use it, typing, washing dishes, cleaning, it just seems to sieze up, they get stuck in weird postions and then twitch side to side and up and down. It is getting really, really annoying!
 
Been there done that. I've had it mainly with my right hand thumb (I'm also right handed) when I've been using it as you described. It was around for months only to disappear. I have also had twitching with my other fingers (middle ones mainly) that I observe sometimes when at my computer. Like while resting on the mouse all of the sudden my finger would pull to the left, hold that position for 2 seconds then return to its normal position. This might happen 5-10 times, then go away. Cool stuff!
 
Absolutely. I've been twitching for 9 or 10 years and the dorsal interosseus (web space between thumb and forefinger) was the very first place the twitching ever occured. Had it there for about 5 straight days. Went to the doctors and they dismissed it. Within a month I had widespread full-body fasciculations. Hot spots now are mostly in my thighs, chest, biceps and forearms now. Twitches can and do happen ANYWHERE. After 10 years I've gotten really good at ignoring them. :)
 
@randy - I don't recall exactly when it actually happened but there has been a huge transition in my attitude/anxiety over the twitching since it started. Of course, I started with the immense fear/dread at the beginning thanks to dr. google. Then after a loooong time the fear faded once I fully understood the facts, which then led to indifference. I no longer reacted, at all really, when I'd get twitching. I knew it was there, but it was just a bodily function to me, like if i was sweating or something...it just became normal. Then at some point I started to think it was neat. I can't explain why, but one day I was sitting at my desk and my left bicep was twitching repeatedly(large twitch moving the better part of the muscle) and I stared at it for like 5 minutes straight. The finger twitches I especially think are cool b/c I can't even move my finger in that manner if I tried. I almost want to show a friend and make them think I"m doing it on purpose, like a cool party trick. It wasn't as if one day I decided "I am going to change my attitude 180 degrees and make it a point to embrace and love my twitching." It just sorta came about naturally, as strange as the twitching itself.
 
@ johhny- ROFL! I found this post so funny. It's definately a great way to look at it. I was lauging because I can totally relate to what you have said, but I am not quite to the point where I like it. I have however accepted them to a degree and will watch them happen and even stop everyone in my family just to show then what my fingers are doing at the moment...hahahah, it's so funny how we are all alike.
