Thanks for your help,

Small twitches are called benign fasciculations and mine were relieved with magnesium supplements.

Larger twitches or muscle jerks are called myoclonus and I take seizure meds to control those (keppra and klonopin).

I, too, have trouble walking and am off balance frequently. Physical therapy balance exercises helped a lot. I recently added in minocycline and it seems to help, too. Best wishes.

I'm still a relative newbie myself, so I've yet to get ALL the associated diagnoses that come with Lyme - altho my neuro did say I was having temporal lobe seizures. Yipee.

I know it's scary, and you should definitely talk to your doc about it, but unless you're in a LOT of pain, I'd try not to waste energy worrying too much about it.

Blessings,

I've been treated with 11 different antibiotics and/or combinations and increased my magnesium. It has improved but it is still there.

Just started Cat's Claw this month, we will see if that helps.

PS - I don't believe in BFS. That was my original diagnosis along with anxiety!

I think a lot of people twitch and it is very scary when you don't know what is causing this. I am scared to. I have been taking Magnesium supplement for about a couple of months and this has reduced the twitching.

Like many others I have been given the "diagnosis" Anxiety perhaps along with BFS though neurologist and doctors has never accepted the I even had twitches because they could not see them.

they always make me wonder whats going on down there.
