Hello! Do any of you on here get repetitive twitching in the same spots? Last Friday I had twitching near my sternum all day and drank some Calm magnesium and went to bed early and that seemed to resolve it but I now have a twitch in my left arm near elbow/tricep that has been twitching for 2 days now. It does not twitch when I rest it but if I hold it in a bent position , it twitches constantly. I’m so tired of this. It’s very scary!

Members shared their experiences with persistent muscle twitching, describing sensations that ranged from localized twitches lasting days to full-body shaking episodes and internal vibrating feelings that some wondered might be mini-seizures. Several members mentioned trying magnesium supplements with mixed results, while others discussed quinine (found in tonic water) as a potential remedy, though one member noted it can cause heart palpitations. A recurring theme was the fear and frustration these symptoms cause, alongside advice to consult a doctor to rule out medication reactions or other underlying issues.

Mine is more like a rippling sensation. It makes my leg shake. I’ve never looked to see if I can physically see it but it will happen and it feels like a ripple or quivering type sensation.

I get the trembling feeling in my body sometimes - like everything is vibrating. It’s not visible - more internal. Sometimes I wonder if these sensations aren’t mini-seizures???
