Re: muscle twitches/monthly cycle

[Guest guest]

Hey Ladies,

Just wondering if anyone has an answer for this or has had this, I have

noticed that my muscle twitches that are mostly in my calves seem to be so

much worse right before I start my period???

Could there be a correlation?

Thanks,

Stacie
