Members confirmed that muscle twitches during flares are a common experience, with many reporting them in areas like the arms, eyes, and other muscles, and some noting that twitches can occur even when not actively flaring. Several members shared that the twitches can range from small movements to larger spasms and cramps, especially when fatigue sets in, and that they can trigger significant anxiety when they happen. A recurring theme was the reassurance that others share this symptom and the understanding that it can feel frightening, particularly when it first starts or when accompanied by other changes like speech difficulties or voice alterations.

Not exactly speech but my voice has definitely changed. I'm frequently hoarse and sometimes my voice goes off and on while talking. It's very frustrating. I used to sing a lot, occasionally karaoke, but now my voice is fried. It's so deep I think I sound like a man. ☹
Anyway, Happy Monday‼
I'm having an EGD this afternoon so can't eat or drink. My mouth is always dry and it's very difficult to go without water.
