Help ! Muscle Twitching - Neuromuscular Diseases Message Board

I have been experiencing for quite awhile now twitching through out my body. I have had a MRI on my brain and I was scheduled for one on my back. I wish I could have communicated with "Rachel" from a 2000 message. I have exactly the same symptoms she has. I also have a curved spine. I lay in bed sometimes worried about having some awful disease, which will leave my children motherless. I don't worry so much for me, rather should become dissablied and could not care for them anymore. I love them sooo much. Does anyone have a clue to what this could be caused from ? All my blood work checks out and the brain MRI was O.K. Could the curved spine be the cause ? Anxiously Awaiting a response. Tina

What other symptoms do you have? What does your doctor say? Have you seen a rheumatologist or a neurologist?

Hello,
I have symptoms som much like yours. I havent been able to go to the doctor due to insurance problems. I have the twitching all the time. Inside my body and out. My legs, and my arms ache, and they twitch. My hands are the worse, and then my head. I have heard a lot of people say that is sounds like either Ms, or fibromyalgia.
I am also afraid, and very confused. How did yours start out? And are you feeling worse?

i have myoclonic spasms and now & then a shake. i also have lordosis & scoliosis. don't forget cerebral palsy.

treatment? not much... i was once diagnosed epileptic. that has since changed. i take neurontin to help with the majority of my symptoms. it helps to have a good neurologist.

I have just posted a question similar to yours. I am experiencing similar symptoms. I noticed you had your twitching several months ago, have you gotten better/worse? Mine started recently, and so far my doctor is clueless. Let me know how you're doing.
