Hi Leeann,

don't worry! A few years ago I had a major scare (even flew to another city to be seen by a neurologist!), as my muscles had been twitching constantly for weeks and everywhere, I couldn't even sleep and my hear would jerk up from the pillow!

Anyhow, the diagnosis was: benign muscle twitching. I still twitch, especially if I have used a particular muscle for some time, but it's nothing to worry about.

I hope you're better.

I am a twitcher too. Read my response to a number of posts, including the recent 'hand weakness'. Also search for a forum for benign fasciculation syndrome. You will find a lot of reassurance there.

Twitching without severe weakness is benign... take care.

At least it's not your eyelid. This happens to me a lot and it is frustrating.
