Muscle twitches all over the body? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Hi guys, I get my parathyroid and should have my lyme test back this Friday. After these tests and a nerve test is ruled out I think my dr will dx me with fibro.

My question (aside from all the others!) is how many of you have muscle twitches all over your body? This symptom onset about 3 wks ago, started with my thumb....now I get them all over my body, mainly at night. Literally I will sit there and my calf, foot, shoulder, butt, thigh will all start going...just rapid little twitches that move around-just like my pain and joint cracking.

Is this unusual? At first I was paranoid about ALS but I hear that starts usually in one area for a bit.

Your feedback is appreciated!!

Hi there! Yes, I get muscle twitches all over my body as well. They come and go and like you said, I get them mainly at night in all different places. I'm not sure about getting a whole lot of them at once, but I get one here and there off and on. I also get a lot of burning pain that has been happening lately. It literally feels like parts of my body are on fire....very strange. There are a lot of weird, crazy symptoms with this condition that's for sure! Hope this helps you

Hi K. Yes, I get twitches, like when your eyelid flutters on its own - you can feel a tiny muscle twitching. I also get twitches in larger muscles, especially my legs, and they feel more like a very quick clench.
Wishing you peace and comfort,
Paddy

Hi, yes I get muscle twitches all the time. I have hypothyroidism and fibro. so I'm not sure which one would be causing these. It's really annoying to get these and I've started taking more vitamins hoping it will help. I read somewhere it could be caused by a lack of magnesium. I hope you get answers and some relief. Take care, Kris

Thanks Kris, I am getting my PTH tested actually. Can you tell me what your thyroid symtpoms were? Thanks a bunch
