Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I would also like to know as I still deal with this almost daily. But mine is internal & no one can tell it is happening when looking at me.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Lo, That's a good question . . . As many women as I've heard talk about this, I've never heard anyone explain why. . . .My guess is that nerve damage is causing nerves to send signals inappropriately. . . But that's my guess. As healing progresses, this happens less and less . . .. although, I find when gettint understress, it still happens on occasion, and I've been explanted amost 12 years.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 - Lo It is probably more your nerves. It probably falls under the category of peripheral neuropathy. No one really seems to know much about muscle twitching. I believe it is when our muscles and nerves are in a toxic state. I say this because I had it nonstop before explantation and afterwards it got much better except when herxing or detoxing. Interesting enough, about a year ago, my eyelid started twitching nonstop for months and months as I was on the antibiotic therapy. Then it stopped and never returned. I have researched it on the internet and can find little info. Of what I did find, it suggests low iron, low thyroid, celiac, b12 and folic acid levels, as possible causes. Of those I have low iron, gluten allergy, and possible thyroid resistance. I definitely think explantation will help considerably, if not eliminate it. And detox afterward. But in some people, it can be a stubborn symptom and may take awhile to resolve.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Jen Actually, most people who get the twitches have it everywhere. They just don't know it. I have had it most of my life. It is very common with fibromyalgia and I was diagnosed with that 20 years ago. It virtually happens everywhere. It can happen throughout the digestive tract causing irritable bowel, stomach problems and esophageal spasms. It can cause bladder spasms, skipped heartbeats, etc. Most people think they have it only when and where they feel the twitching, but that is just because they can't feel the others happening. I think that is what makes the widespread pain and fatigue of fibro. I say that because when I get all the spasms, I am usually then feeling fatigued afterward. And who wouldn't? It is like running the marathon or lifting weights for a long time-- except you didn't. This spasming causes muscle fatigue and pain. Apparently, the muscles aren't getting enough oxygen for some reason. And of course, that relates back to toxic states of the body. And some people may just have a more hypersensitive nervous system and their body is going to react with the twitching when irritated where someone else's wouldn't. All I know is that it is quite common in fibromyagia and that is a condition of lack of adequate energy at the cellular level which of course would affect the muscle and the nerves. kathy > > > > I was wondering if someone could describe if it is more my nerves or > > muscles that causes these reactions and why this happens.
