Moderator's note:

Have you told your doctor/psychiatrist about this?

Kaylene

I called it a seizure buy it is probly something else. I am Bipolar and

when i'm a high and when I go in to depression I really hit hard. My

body starts to twitch and jitter and some times I fell it is a full

blown Panic attack. But my twitchs get so bad it throws my out of bed.

Don;t know.

They say it could be drug interaction. I think it is something else.

No one wants to stand up and make decision. What type of Doc should I

see.

Dave,

I have that also and it comes and goes. I have it when my

extremities are tired or I stressed my body and did not know it. Dave,

see a neurologist and they can do a work up on your nervous system to

rule out if it is drug interaction or not.

I had MRI brain scan, EEGs, emg and everything was normal. I

also had a gait problem and I had not been wearing my inserts. My rt

leg is shorter than my left leg and causes more problems putting

pressure on my RT sacro iliac joint. It is very painful. Also my

physical therapist measured my leg

length, sacral joint area, puniform area. I needed to strengthen

those areas.

When I went to physical therapy it really helped because my

therapist helped me to strengthen muscles around my pain areas to

reduce pain.

I have trouble with weight bearing so I cannot stand long, sit

long, and lying down is the position that helps me most.

So, you should definitely go to the neurologist and have it

checked out. Do you have tremors ? I don't know if you are calling

twitches that should be tremors either way the neurologist can do

tests.

I would keep a diary of when the twitches/jittering happen to

see if there is a trigger. The diary will show the doctors evidence of

problems and the neurologist will appreciate it.

Good Luck and let us know what the doctor says.
