Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

Curious about muscle twitching...

I've been told it goes away with magnesium treatment.

Mine has pretty much subsided and only occurs once in a while usually while I'm falling asleep or when I just woke up.

My question is -- do you guys get this symptom?

I've been trying fo figure out if it's a result of Lyme or of extreme anxiety as the internet suggests.

My twitching began when I was under extreme duress I have to say.

Here's a link of interest...

Since Lyme can affect nerves, I'd put my money on your twitching being Lyme related.

I have facial paralysis and get a lot of twitching there. So do get involved in this.

Iv Glutathione (from an ND) can also work wonder with this!

I have been twitching (heck almost kicking) at night. So my husband claims about the kicking part ;). Once I started taking the klonopin at night and increased my magnesium it has almost disappeared. I hope your does also!

Yep, definitely Lyme-related. I got a pamphlet from my LLMD put out by the "Lyme Disease Assoc of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Inc at www.LymePa.org) that has it listed as one of the neurological sx.

I've had twitching as well. Eyebrow, eyelid (probably looks like I'm winking at you!), arm, leg, tummy muscles (alien~!). I found it really amusing to watch until I realized it was Lyme. Now it pisses me off...

I'll see if I can find a link to the pamphlet. It has 5 pages of sx related to Lyme. I'm using this to track which of mine have gone away.

I use to twitch all over. I am on magnesium and it has helped with it but I do still get it in my face. I also jerk alot when I try to relax or go to sleep. I hope oneday it will dissappear.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
