[quote=Anonymous]I don't know whether it's the same thing as you but I was also have a lot of twitching - technically muscle fasciculations. Every day I'd feel it in my face, my arms, my legs. Even in my back muscles or weird muscles deep in my abdomen. I went to a neurologist and she tested me for various things - I was terrified it would  be ALS. But she said it wasn't manifesting like those neuro diseases, and she thought it was most likely related to anxiety. I was kind of incredulous because it seemed like how could anxiety be causing this? She said it could be helped by potassium and magnesium glycinate. But she encouraged me to make a serious effort to manage my stress and anxiety. So I made an intentional effort to add meditation to my routine. I don't read/watch things that rile me up before bed (news). I started doing things during the day to bring some peace and calm to my day. It did gradually help. I ran out of magnesium about a month ago and didn't refill it, and have also been eating more sugar. I've been feeling more stress and just thought the other day that I've been having more of the fasciculations again, so I do think all these things are related. I refilled the magnesium and rededicated myself to avoiding sugar and doing my daily meditation and other relaxation practices. I didn't realize there can be such a close relationship between neurological symptoms and anxiety.[/quote]
