Treating bartonella helped, particularly rifampin.

Yes I had that too and treated bart longer and more than anybody else. But my twitching used to be in the face as well as calfes and legs.
I do beilive that the fry bug contributes to that too.
Only when in biaxin plaquinil , mepron and cryptolepsis they reduced tremendously but not gone.
Also when in Rifampin they reduced but not that much like in the previous combo.
I tried as well albendanzole and ivermectin.
My twitches has lessen but still have them in my legs.

Yes, try loading up on magnesium.
From Burrascano Guidelines:
"Magnesium deficiency is very often present and quite severe. Hyperreflexia, muscle twitches, myocardial irritability, poor stamina and recurrent tight muscle spasms are clues to this deficiency. Magnesium is predominantly an intracellular ion, so blood level testing is of little value. Oral preparations are acceptable for maintenance, but those with severe deficiencies need additional, parenteral dosing: 1 gram IV or IM at least once a week until neuromuscular irritability has cleared."

Ditto - Magnesium Deficiency
IV or IM (intra muscular) magnesium sulfate or chloride is the way to restore mag levels to normal.
If you can't get IV or IM, Transdermal (topical) may have better results than oral - this website pretty clearly explains why taking oral magnesium will not help significantly if you truly are low in magnesium.

By the way after treating bart with strong combo of Rifampin , Doxy and azithromycin for more than 9 months and months of high dosages of HH and Banderol with oregano oil as well I was in germany for lyme treatment.
I was given IV magnesium even though I did IM injections as well.The twtiching never stoped a bit .
I got magnesium Iv 7 times Until the doctors tested that I was fine and did not needed it.I also tested negative for lyme .But was still Fry bug and babesia left.bart was low.
My twitching continued and mine was up to my buttock.Only with the treatment above the twitching is down to my legs only.
I used to twitch from head to toe.
