I have muscle twitches everywhere! They’re really noticeable when not moving, and seem to stop. Im talking in my hands, feet, arms, legs, head, stomach, and face. Head to toe. Is this common with Fibromyalgia?

Members overwhelmingly confirmed that muscle twitches throughout the body are common with fibromyalgia, describing experiences ranging from isolated twitches in the face or limbs to full-body spasms that can feel like someone pushed that area. Several members shared helpful strategies, including magnesium supplements, staying hydrated, medications like Baclofen for spasms, and anti-anxiety medication like Hydroxyzine for trembling. A recurring theme was the importance of ruling out other causes with a doctor, such as low magnesium, dehydration, medication side effects, or anxiety-related triggers.

My Doctor thinks that the shaking is due to anxiety over the fact that I know that I am going to be in pain. My brain kicks the fear factor into high gear and bingo, shakes and trembles. I never would have thought that true but she prescribed a mild anti-anxiety med, Hydroxyzine that I take 3 times a day and I have a LOT less shaking and trembling now.

Oh my, yes! Some twitches are fairly light and barely noticeable and others are quite strong and feel as if someone pushed that area of the body. Even my abdomen twitches - often, and sometimes very strongly. Weird stuff!
