Random muscle twitching
 

Anyone get these as much as I do? It seems as if my muscles twitch all the time. I'm sure it twitches a few thousand times a day, but since I'm busy I don't notice it that much. When I lived at the Pike house, my friends always thought I was showing off and flexing my muscles or whatever, but I didn't even realize it was twitching. And right now as I type, my right forearm has been twitching for for the past hour. This is annoying yo.

I think it's mental.

stress

My guess is carpal tunnel since it's your arm.

at any rate - see a neurologist

Do you work out a lot? That used to happen to my ex and he said it had something to do with the muscle being overstimulated or some such nonsense. Maybe it's that.

Stop having gay sex?

I'm kidding, I'm kidding but you know how I saw American Me yesterday? Well there were a lot of weird mexi prison rape scenes and now I'm freaked out again. :*(

Don't worry, Bobby. I get these all the time, too. Just had one in my leg actually...

I've never asked a doctor, but have read it's usually caused by stress. This link says that, too. Probably not a nuerological issue.

My brother had this. Doc put him on Xanax, it works for him.

I only ever get those in my eye, and not super often... maybe eat a bananna doesn't potassium help with muscle function ??

I hear thats a side effect of Viagra.

I hear that when Barry Bonds gets the twitches, he calls up the ass cream guy who comes over and rubs some on for him.

I think the muscle twitching might be due to a lack of potassium also. Eating a banana and drinking gatorade might help. If not, definitely see a doctor.

get some sleep

:o
My secrets out...

:p

yeah well, I work at a hospital sometimes, and so I went to occupational health today. They were scaring the shit out of me saying I might have something called ALS and what nonsense. Last time I go see a doctor again. Who needs them anyways.

And yes, I do workout alot so that could be it.

Xanax, don't crazy people take that or something? I know I'm crazy, but I'm not coocoo for cocopuffs.

xanax is for anxiety.

Normally it only happens for a short while after you work out, so if you are twitching several hours later or the next day it may be something else.

My leg sometimes will violently twitch when I am laying down trying to go to sleep.

That might be restless leg syndrome. That sounds quite annoying.

It's called a hypnic jerk and it's very common. If you wanna know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk

My left eye does it a lot (just randomly) but my right ring finger twitches whenever my index and middle finger touch. But if all my fingers are held apart, they're all still.

I've heard several times that magnesium can help, it never helps me though.

Sometimes when I am half asleep, or almost on my way to being asleep, my entire body will jolt. Then I wake up :(

Remember when you woke up after shaking because you were coming off heroin and there was a dead prostitute named Henry laying next to you?

Henry was my boy, why'd you have to kill my boy? :(

You are just sad because you don't have anyone to watch the Da Vinci code with anymore. You bastard. Go take Xanax for you craziness

See the reply for PiKA. I hear that potassium is for muscle cramps not twitches. Does it work for both?
