Does anyone else have this? it has been going on for years and getting worse....the muscles twitch in my back, tummy, eyebrow, feet, and usually I have heart stuff with it...tachycardia. Do I have hard core magnesium depletion from treating for so long? probably need IVs if that is the case.

I can't even call it a twitch, it's like a shudder...can be violent!
no I don't have the scary diseases.

Have you considered tx for parasites? Some of the symptoms you describe could be from parasites.

Yes...I have also heard the same thing...parasites...They actually suck up your magnesium which causes deficiencies. So supplementing Mg could make you worse off...I would look into some parasite testing or talk with your doc.

In my opinion the muscle twitching is from mag depletion. I believe that this indicates a bart infection. IV mag, or shots are the best way to replenish mag, but taking any mag will strengthen biofilms and help bart.

If the shudders are similar to a quick little seizure or electrical shock, then I believe that is from Lyme.
