Members connected with someone experiencing two months of concerning symptoms including muscle twitches, weakness, visible muscle dents, and stiffness while waiting for a neurology appointment. Several members shared that magnesium supplementation helped reduce their twitching and spasms, with one suggesting apple cider vinegar for muscle issues, while others emphasized the importance of seeing a rheumatologist since fibromyalgia doesn't show up on standard blood tests and can cause countless unexplained symptoms. A recurring theme was the frustration of waiting for answers when symptoms feel serious, the challenge of doctors dismissing concerns, and the reassurance that many bizarre symptoms can be connected to fibromyalgia even when they seem unrelated.

Daniel. You said your bloodwork is good and does not show any inflammation. Fibro does not show up on any tests. They do have a new bloodtest that is supposed to diagnose it but i have not heard of anyone getting it done yet. Good luck to you. I hope you feel better soon.

Twitching can be caused by low thyroid, low potassium, magnesium etc. etc. I use 2 Tblsp of raw apple cider vinegar mixed in a glass of water first thing in the morning and it helps me so much with so many things like twitching, muscle spasms, energy level and digestion. It wouldn’t cost much to give it a try. I’m sorry you’re having so many issues going on. Hang in there!

Hey Daniel. Most of your symptoms sound like fibro. Unfortunately fibro causes so many weird symptoms that we all have. Sometimes we don't even realize our symptom is from fibro until someone else asks a question about it and 50 people respond that they also have it. It is a very strange disease. I have had it for 30 years and have had so many different symptoms that i could never remeber them all. It would be a good idea to see a rheumatologist and see what they say. Unfortunately doctors really don't know as much as we do about fibro. We live with it daily. I hope you get some answers soon. Good luck. Hugs

I could have written this myself. All of my symptoms first started with fatigue and vertigo, then led into aches, pains, twitches, bruises, nose bleeds and more. I had so many scans and so much exposure to radiation before doctors finally said I had fibro. Find a good specialist and avoid unnecessary radiation exposure xx
