Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before. My wife has said then when I fall asleep before her, my legs will twitch/seizure almost constantly to the point of keeping her up. It has only woken me up once and I have no recollection of it otherwise. Has anyone experienced this??
I also just recently developed about 6 or 7 stretch marks on my thighs and buttocks. They look whiter then the rest of my skin, but sometimes turn red. Very weird I know.
Thanks so much!

I don't know about the leg thing. But I have these places on my skin that look like someone grabbed me with their hand and left a print. But the hand would be really thin and it makes my skin turn lighter too. So I don't think you're weird.

The stretch marks are a classic symptom of Bart. Sounds like it to me. I am unsure about the other symptoms...hope someone will chime in.

Bart causes muscle twitching but so does lyme. I have not had the exact same symptom you are describing but I have had what feels like restless leg syndrome and also muscle spasms so severe my arm bounced up and down on the bed.

The stretch marks are classic bart.

Thanks everyone!! I always thought stretch marks were red/ purple. Mine are normally white but sometimes turn red.
