Does anyone here have strange feelings in their muscles or jerking and twitching muscles? Today I can feel the muscles across my back together with my arms and lower legs pulsating and vibrating. Also since August my muscles have been twitching and jerking. My neuro is puzzled and although I can cope with pain and stiffness I really don't like these feelings.
Hi Caroline
I have the same thing, not sure what it is but it feels really strange. I can feel it in my back when I'm sitting/laying down.
Hi Lucy, from what I can gather it is a pretty rare symptom of fibro. It really does feel strange. Do you have any twitches or jerking? And are you taking anything when it becomes really unbearable?
I'm not taking anything for it at the minute, it's something I haven't really mentioned to any of the doctors I've seen as I've had that many problems going on that sometimes I forget to mention some of them. I do get twitching and jerking sometimes too, when I wake up from a nap I can feel my body trembling, it's really weird! I also had a twitch in my face that lasted over a week, it was driving me mad.
magneisum in side and out
Thank you tiswas, I've been taking magnesium malate for a while now and recently started on vit D as well as taking a multivit and chia and flaxseed for the omegas. I will look for magnesium oil too and give that a go.
I get funny muscle feeling..I get muscle cramps and spasms everywhere too, I use a circulation booster-great....also ..magnesium at least they have become minimal..but I do still get the spasms/cramps..grr....:-) xxx had Nuro tests.,.all came back clear...great.
I get twitching in my eyes, shoulders ( like a fluttery sensation ) just before I suffer a muscle spasm, and I get twitchy thighs too - very annoying, and painful if accompanied by a muscle spasm.
Hi Caroline I have twitches in my arms and legs occasionally my body. I'm on Pregabalin and other Fibro sufferers have said that it's one of its side effects. It's so annoying especially when your hand is hovering over a keyboard, it causes a lot of mistakes! I tried coming off Pregabalin but the pain was so intense that I went back on. When I say went off I mean decreasing my dose and when I said went back on, I mean increasing my dose, just to clarif. S xx
it is all trial and error i am afraid .
you might be better taking the cobmination magneisum.calcium .vitd one
by a quality oil
These sensations are very strange, I get twitching in my eyes and on one eyebrow. I also have a very strange fluttering in my shoulder blades. And severe pain in my right collar bone..
I said to my husband, if I were an animal I would have been put down..
Have a good day if you can, I am not good today.Anne..
iv just excepted them best way, they are normaly flutterings like a large buterfly
but sometimes there sharp stabbings i like watching them in my arms like jumping beans under my skin.
, i excepted there part of fibro i dont stress about them i use magneisum oil to control them . i sometimes get thuds in my chest like the is buterfly is wearing glogs there a bit scary take your breath away ,
Hi Tiswas...They are very strange, I get that too.
Anne
Thank you for taking time to reply especially when you're not too good today. The flutterings, buzziness etc must be down to the nervous system being over excited. It's good to hear from others who are experiencing these strange feelings as my GP thinks it's due to anxiety!! And my neuro is puzzled. I only used to get the jerking at rest but now my arm and shoulder jerk when I'm eating.
Try again as previous was "Moderated"?!?!?
I am so very totally and madly stressed.
Just spent 25minutes typing a response only to press the wrong button and loose it all.
My twitching or jerking makes my press wrong keys or buttons on the PC and at work. I occasionally drop things, now the latest is my eyes twitching or double-visioning.
I know meds should not be discussed so I won't give quantities but I am on the following:
General Health : Cod Liver Oil - Multivitamins.
Weight Loss Surgery : Calciumn- Ferrous Furmaeate - Vit B12.
Irritable Bowel : Peppermint Oil Capsules.
Hypertension : Candesartan.
Fibromyalgia : Lyrica - Paracetamol - BuTrans.
Depression : Mirtazipine.
HypoThyroid Syndrome : Levothyroxine.
Hope I dont lose this whole post. Feel free to reply or email, all help greatly received.
have you checked your meds to see if any of them cause tremours jerking , i have the movements you describe but except for very occasionly when i am stressed there not overly bad .i use magneisum oil for my leg jerks and my arms and if my face starts.works a treat for me.
Hi Neil, thank you so much for taking time to message again; I sometimes hit the wrong keys too and at work I almost threw a cup of tea in the air! Last night I did take some diazepam to calm things down but usually I try to accept them and funnily enough if I dont have any I miss them in a strange way.
Hi neilwaud I too have twitches and I was told that it's a side effect of Lyrica as is weight gain and I have that as well!! Is it not enough that we have all these awful symptoms without having the b****y awful side effects of the supposed help?! S xx
if thats the case then why do i have the same jerks and twitching hun . i dont take any meds except supplements. i must admit that they dont sound as bad as yours , maybe they make the jerks and twitching worse rather than cause them .
I have only noticed the twitches in the last 2/3years about the same length of time I've been on Lyrica I could have had them before, but if I did they must only have been mild!
