Muscle Twitches

[Guest guest]

I also know many people get magnesium injections to relieve muscle

spasms and cramping...I have never tried it, but those I know who get

them swear by it.

I wonder if there is an amino acid (for brain chemistry and

neurological support) that would help with muscle twitches...

In the " For what it's worth " column, the pinkie/ring finger/ forearm symptoms

are exactly the same for a pinched neck nerve. I have dealt with that for 12

years running and highly recommend a chiropractor to release the nerve via

adjustment. There is a surgery for it, but my old pain specialist told me not to

do it or I would regret it. He told me to go Chiropractic and it really, really

helps.

 

As to the sweating- I don't know your age, but it sure is part & parcel of

menopause. Especially night sweats.

 

As natural as it is for us to try to connect everything wrong w/us to meds or

RA, it often is apples & elephants in comparison. That's just my 2 cents- and

NOBODY pays me to think, so take it or leave it as you wish.

Frequent reader, but I seldom post. I'm pretty well controlled on plaquenil, but

lately I've been having some muscle twitches all around my body and pain in my

left forearm that goes down to my pinkie and ring fingers. Those two fingers

don't quite feel numb, but there is some tingling. Has anyone else had these

symptoms? I am currently in between Rheums, as mine has left his practice and I

have an appointment with the new guy when he starts seeing patients in two

weeks.

I too am a member, but rarely post anymore. I was getting shaky hands, kinda

like quivers. Bad enough that I would shake a cup of coffee right out of my

hand and have a terrible time sleeping. My Dr. Diagnosed it as an essential

tremor and gave me propranolol. AND IT WORKS! I had to have surgery and the

nurse advised me to stop that me before surgery, because she thought it was for

high bloodpressure. She had to look up and alternate uses, and was very

surprised to find this to be true!

Hope this helps,

Frequent reader, but I seldom post. I'm pretty well controlled on plaquenil,

but lately I've been having some muscle twitches all around my body and pain in

The pain/twitching has been significant enough that I have had very little sleep

the last two nights, so I was getting concerned that maybe something else was

going on. Now that I think back, I've had these symptoms before (shortly after

dx) but I thought they were side effects of Zoloft. (Along with anxiety and

profuse sweating. Yikes.) I'm hoping someone here can confirm that they, too,

have had this experience or at least know of others that have.

Thanks!
