Does anyone else have to deal with twitching? My leg and my feet twitch and it's really aggravating thinking about going back to my dr about it but reluctant to go on more meds

Members connected over the frustrating experience of twitching throughout their bodies, with the most common areas being legs, hands, feet, and head, often worsening after physical activity or when tired. Several members found relief through medications like gabapentin, Lyrica, quinine, Requip for restless leg syndrome, and muscle relaxers, while others recommended natural remedies, gentle stretching before bed, and checking with doctors about whether symptoms might indicate restless leg syndrome rather than fibromyalgia alone. A recurring theme was the relief of discovering others share these same involuntary movements, from dropped plates and mistyped keys to nighttime leg convulsions, helping members feel less alone and less concerned about more serious conditions like Parkinson's disease.

Many antidepressants can cause the uncontrolled movements, a condition called "hardcover dyskensia".

Yes it's such a relief to know that others have the same body movements whether you're telling your brain to do it or not x I had restless legs and found if I did mild leg stretches before I went to bed, it wasn't so bad and with help of Quinine, I don't get cramp or so much restless legs x

I have trouble with twitching especially in my hands sometimes it's hard to type because it's so bad. I also have trouble with my eyes and legs twitching but it's just worse in my hands.

@A MyFibroTeam Member It is a great feeling to know you're not crazy, isn't it.
