Muscle Fasciculations

[PandaLea21]

I've had this for so many years , when I relax I can feel my muscles twitching on themselves, particularly my little toe next to big toe is very active! Weird! I'm 22 and I think probably twitching going to get worse...

[titomash]

I've had this for 10 years. I'm 30 years old now. It's slowly spreading over my body - but you'll be fine. Look at the bright side, it's good for circulation!

[pontius0pilawa]

I iam from Berlin, 26, male. I have the same. All over my body. also i feel it inthe eggs.

please contact me: blueEYE@web.de

This is because of chemtrailing

[mastax1234]

i have this issue but just in my left index finger

[wereraveisking]

I heard smoking weed calms it down

[cosmoblivion]

Muscle fasciculations are also a symptom of ME/CFS.

[cosmoblivion]

My ex hub had this as extensively as the guy in the film after being over exposed to pesticides. We eventually got him much better so that he rarely experienced them anymore.

[ihavekankles]

this is ruining my life.. i dont know if it is benign however... i've had it for the past 2 days now and i dont know what to think of it. i'm going to the doctors on monday.. if only to put my mind at ease. so stressed right now.

[snizzlewack]

Doesn't it usually have something to do with ones spinal cord - if one or more vertebrae are off kilter (disc about to or has ruptured, or vertebrae misaligned), it will affect the nerves which shoot out of the vertebral bones....i.e, the nerves may be a little crushed in the area of injury, resulting in fasiculations in the muscles which those nerves reach.

[boyfriendgurl]

i have this all over!!

[georgethewondermutt]

I have this in right calf only. It is sometimes really bad and I can wake up in middle of night with severe cramps, again right calf only. I've had spine surgery and think it is nerve damage causing mine.

[HylianFury]

i'm also close to 2 years man no waisting no weakness.

but somethimes tingling hands feet (somethimes)

how long of twitching do you actually need to have before its Benign ?

Also i read that it cant become ALS if its not ALS but

do you know people with ALS how long they twitch before they start having weakness and muscle loss.

[HylianFury]

i got the same in my whole body from time to time somethimes its less now i have to go to the dokter i'm a bit afraid.

ive been having it close to 2 years now i still weight 275 pounds so i'm overweight so i dont think there is wasting nor weakness

but can this change ? during time ?

[honeymix99]

i bet it feels good i sometime get this and i love it

[tonialuvslecter]

i have muscle fasciculations often, i'm only 25. i've been having them since i was a young teenager. i was born very premature so maybe something is out of whack with my body. i also get migraines.

i get muscle twitches like this frequently, several times a week, and they migrate to different places on my body, sometimes on my leg, sometimes on my arm, sometimes my bottom even, sometimes on my neck, finger, mouth, etc. i hate it when it twitches and it won't stop!!! it gets to be frustrating.

[sweetvyc]

@tonialuvslecter try correcting your nutrition with some vitamins.this bugged me for about 6 months! i had them all over. it was a deficiency in either potassium, magnesium, calcium or iron. your body has to level itself out from a lack of one or more of those. don't take 2 much iron though. also, if you take too much calcium it uses up your magnesium too. i found that out & it really helped to take some magnesium. also cut out the caffeine. now, i'm back to normal & take a multi vit every day

[geoffemma]

I am 49 male, Have had exactly the same now in both legs for over two years following bells palsay which I got from herpes Zoster virus which I got 5 days after flu shot. I am very healthy, can still do a standing high jump over a tennis net so I presume it's a benign condition that the virus has left me with. Good exercise,less stress lessens the fascics.

[TheMrpalid]

i get these in my shoulder from time ti time

[sewerynno]

its like my legs:/ boooo:(

[iLLFLuenT1037]

Yep... since about October of 2009 I been having the same problem. I was going through a really stressful moment around that time too and work was driving me nuts. I think it has alot to do with that now, but like others I was petrified at first. Thought ALS and all sorts of other things. I get them all over my body, everywhere. Even on my ass... lol. I get them 5-20 times a day and like someone else said they stop when I move the limb/body part it's occuring in.

[MusicIhave]

i ate some almonds and it went away for a period of time. Try taking some magnesium supplements.

[xleslie11x]

WOW.. so ijust barely looked this up on wiki because i finally got the time to just look it up.. i never knew it was a disease.. i've had it for years now. i think since i was 12, im not sure.. im 17 now.. i should probably go to a doctor :/

[hawksleyart01]

I get this sometimes. Although apparently if can be caused by something simple like to0 much caffine..(probably in my case)

It's happening right now in my leg. I doesn't bother me at all.

I've had it in some bloddy weird places though like the tip of my tounge,the corner of my mouth, the side of my nose, in my eyebrow and across my forehead.

I don't get it as bad as this guy in the video though.

[rkcdude]

Hi mate,

Those are really good fasciculations. I've had BFS for a couple of years now. Trust me mate....if you laugh at them they'll get better.

Of course it doesn't take much for a very stressful situation to bring on the twitches, but the ones in my legs have subsided a whole lot (sometimes many weeks without them) if I just laugh it off.

Keep positive though mate as BFS never turns into ALS.

@rkcdude

Hi, i been having this "twitching" since 3/27/09, it all started in my belly and it went all over my body. it is so annoying, and i used to cry about it. I went to the neurologist to rule out any other dangerous diseases, thank god everything came out normal. well, i have hyperthyrodisim(overactive thyroid) i havent seen my endocronologist for a week but when i go back am going to ask her if maybe this is something that has to do with the thyroid, am currently under medication.

[melodies4him]

i have had those random fasciulations all over my body for 2 or 3 weeks but what have helped me was reducing my stress levels and taking Magnesium supplements (but it takes couple weeks before these start working). I had to see a neurologist to rule out all the other bad neurological diseases.

[ACTS13v48]

go to exatest . com and get your intracellular minerals checked. Blood, Urine, and Hair analysis are not accurate. These fasculations have a cause, most likely electrolyte imbalance within the cell.

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

I have exactly the same problem and as frequent as his. It is really really annoying and I have been having this since Summer 09. They really need to find what causes this because I don't think it is normal.Something has to be wrong in your body that is causing this even though it is not ALS, MS, Etc...

[MusicIhave]

i have it as well on my arm. It is SO annoying, and i can never really get it to stop

[PatVRulz]

eat bananas

[swantonbomb01]

Hey I not sure but I might have this...it started over 8 months ago and I get them once a day or so...However as soon as I move the muscle it stops...does dat happen to anyone...I get them on my arm.

[necromancion]

I have the same problem now for two years in all my body, I dont know what's the reason and I almost tried everything but nothing worked for me, 24/7 muscle twitching..

[dogstrangler]

Obviously you have no sense of humour .

Actually I lied about his age . He was 103 .

[keb2806]

I have the exact same problem constant twitches 24/7 in both my legs like above. I had it now for about 5 month. No weakness. My nerologist diagnosed it as BFS.

[GregGirardin]

Yup. Same here. I've had it since May.

I'm so relieved it's not ALS that it's hard to complain about it.. but it is very annoying. It's keeping me up tonight as a matter of fact.

I've had some "perceived" weakness with it at times, but I've had 2 EMG's which came back clean.

[dogstrangler]

My late father had this problem for many years and it finally killed him . He was 98 yrs old !

[aquatimer]

Thats just made my day.... cheers

[LinkII08]

@aquatimer 98 years old?? who knows, bfs might also cause longevity!! Heck we know it doesnt shorten your life so it oughta prolong it!

[ilovejapan888]

it can kill you?

[dogstrangler]

yes , your heart muscle can be affected and it undergoes spontaneous combustion . This only occurs if you have gone beyond 95 and  have three earlobes .

[ilovejapan888]

man and i usly like watcing mine and laughing at it

[akuma4u]

i dont think the twitching killed him i think his age did he was 98!!

there can be many reasons for twitching from ALS, BFS, heavy metal toxicity, viruses, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and many others

[dogstrangler]

DUMB !

[akuma4u]

how am i dumb? explain how twitching killed your father.

[disshytBreal]

man.. i had this for about 4 years i hate these things it happens to me at night and it keeps going in the night its just annoying

[MaschAvenue]

I've had on and off muscle spasms for years now. They are most prevalent when I'm under stress. I've had foot, legs, thighs, pecs, arms, palm (near thumb) individual finger, eye lids (upper and lower), and even briefly on my freaking nose.

[nerofinale]

I've got the same thing, in both legs and some other random places, for like 4 months now... It really pisses me off, sometimes I think I'm ill, like I have some brain tumor which causes the twitches... It's a relief to see that I'm not the only one experiencing such troubles ^^

[williamdrocks]

I have benign fasciculation syndrome, most of what you guys probably have, constant twitches, most of which are very strong.

[BamaDan197319]

I've had this since I was 12 years old. But, I have twitching in every part of my body at one time or another. My toes on my right foot started last night around 10pm, and at almost 8am they're still doing it. Maybe not a life threatening issue, but it's VERY annoying. The other day my bottom lip, Both sides of my nose, right eyelid, and left hand did it all at the same time for several hours. I'm thinking about asking my doctor if there is medication to stop it.

[jcdogman101]

i hate having this i have it in my arms and upper leg its so annoying.

[rapsatol]

i have that too. when i relax my bicep this occur. actually im having one at the moment of posting. i try to video tape it.

[xoChloeeox]

omg it pisses me off when it does it to me :@ it punch my leg and it went mad haha

[kodwyerr]

i've had them for over 10.. no wasting of muscle.. no ALS..

sometimes.. ya just get them.

[slickmike11]

wow thank you so much for posting this. I have the EXACT same thing.  About 5 years now (im 26) its a huge relief knowing that others have it too. I feel better now. I havent gone to the doc and dont know If I ever will.

[niknessnik]

I have the same thing. until about 1 1/2 ago I thought I was just going nuts. I have been going throught this for four years now. I eventually found a websote that explained to me what it is. So I know now I 'm not going insane, but it is still very annoying somedays!

[face2facechick]

Do you take any specific types of medication? Because certain meds can cause this as well depending on what you're taking.

[reoreason]

If you have continuous fascics and no other symptoms ,ignore them.

[BalaclavaReturns]

i have it too and i hope to hell its BFS and not ALS, ive never actually been to a doctor about it.

i have it in both calfs and sometimes get it in my fingers or thumbs, had it on my chest before too, and i get it in my eyes sometimes.

its weird but i only ever get cramp in my legs when im asleep, usually waking me in pain at stupid hours in the morning. other than that though i have no cramps.

[twitcher81]

this is a good vid and certainly reassuring to know that you have had this kind of twitching for so long.

[aliciamsw]

bfs'er here too! 18 years now!

[aquatimer]

2 years myself...i'm getting more used to it now. Do you get it with the slight cramping?

[pchayes111]

@aquatimer almost a year for me. I get slight cramping too. I can actually make my calf cramp. It's only my left one. I had back surgery 2004 to put rods in and 3 yrs ago to take them out. Did u have back surgery?

[Haydun]

do you have in in your both legs btw?

[aquatimer]

Yes both legs right is slight more than the left. Plus many other random places

[pchayes111]

@aquatimer almost a year for me. I get slight cramping too. I can actually make my calf cramp. It's only my left one. I had back surgery 2004 to put rods in and 3 yrs ago to take them out. Did u have back surgery? Doctor after Dr, drug after drug and nothing works. I've been misdiagnosed. I actually found fasciculations on my own

[Haydun]

Shit, i got the same, especially in my feet...

[DeathPersonified]

I've been plagued with this for months, and I'm only 16! Things like this cause me to think like a hypochondriac. Perhaps it's stress, but I noticed they started after I stopped exercising, and they really picked up after I got a sore throat and fever.

[WarpcoreStudios]

My calves do the same, as do my feet.

[LexusFordsSA]

Damn, you twitch a lot. I am twitching but at least 1/10mins.
