I have these random twitches in my face and neck sometimes. They just seem to come out of nowhere. Can anyone here relate to this or am i on my own on this one???

Hey there, yeah I too get twitches in my muscles. It is a common symptom of cfs unfortunately. It tends to affect me more when I have a had a busy day, and done way too much. I stop to rest and my muscles go crazy, it's uncontrollable and happens at random. Hope this helps to reasure you. Cool

I get head twitches sometimes, totally out of nowhere. I think its because i cant really relax my muscles and ill just twith sometimes. I went to get aupuncture and the guy was kind of laughing at me because my muscles were so tense and i couldnt relax them. I did feel a little better afterward though

Yes, I can relate to this. I have been having twitching for a year. It started in my legs and then went to other parts of my body and then all over, and then around my heart. I have mostly recovered from CFS (which is why I am here - to share what I know) but I have the twitching that I am solving just now and it turns out that it, for me, is an electrolyte imbalance.

I have gone and done different things that my naturopathic physician said to do for it. We started with potassium broth (boil potato peelings, carrot peelings/cut carrots, and cut celery, add salt, and drink the broth from it), and it helped take a lot of the twitching away, that was happening all over my body and even next to my heart. But it didn't get rid of it entirely, so they said to take Calcium-Magnesium-Zinc supplement from Solaray. That did a lot but as soon as I stopped taking it, even after 4 months, it would come back if I missed even one day of a very high dose of it. The blood photos at the naturopathic clinic showed hypercalcemia (too much calcium). So just two weeks ago, they said to try eating salt throughout the day.

I have some Celtic sea salt (better than refined salt from the store that is bleached), and I have been doing that AND salting my food, which normally I don't salt anything except potatoes and eggs (hence, the problem!!). When I do this, the twitching begins to go away. Before it goes away, it turns to quivers, and not outright twitches any more.

Something I have noticed is that when the twitching goes away, my urine turns from clear to yellow, AND instead of peeing every 5-10 minutes I can hold it an hour, and also that my heart stops pounding so much (electrolyte problems affect the heart, and the heart is a muscle so twitching muscles is not a good thing).

Does anyone here with the twitching problem also have the frequent urination problem? I would be curious if it is related in other people too. In my Internet research, COWS that were deficient in sodium had the excessive thirst and excessive urination thing going on.

When you do anything for electrolytes, make sure you have proper medical supervision. Messed up electrolytes can cause seizures and other problems.

Hi i have had increased thirst and urination for past month and twitching like none other for past week. I cant sleep. my neck twitches so much that it cramps up and i cant relax it. i have been under lot of stress lately with poor eating habits. I guess the electrolyte imbalance makes sense.
