So a prescription drug commercial has me worried. One of the symptoms was involuntary muscle movements. You should report these as these may become PERMANANT.
I know, I know...magnesium...magnesium... I try! It was hard on the doxy, but I tried...and I'm still trying... I'm on as many supplements as I possibly can tolerate or afford for now.
But I still have large involuntary muscle movements every day, and sometimes they get really bad and make a scene.
I'm concerned they may never go away.
Please tell me you had this and it went away!

Jasmin, see my response in the thread "Horrible twitching in temples" by seekhelp.
Severe myoclonus can become permanent and are an indicator of deep nervous tissue infection. All the supps in the world won't help. Mg only goes so far.
Please tell your LLMD as soon as possible.

ping, Thanks, I saw that post and appreciated it there, too. I talked to my doctor about it, and he said take more minerals. I think he just knows we have to treat the infection.
dmc.... Thank you so much for sharing. Twenty YEARS? Am I reading that right? I have no right to complain about three or four months then.

I've had severe myoclonus for about three years. It seemed to coincide with my Bartonella test turning positive. It got worse on Bart medication but eventually calmed down on Bart med, but now is getting worse again. It's a central nervous system infection from what I understand.
I've never had it respond to magnesium, etc., although I take those supplements and even have had some IM magnesium.
