Has anyone conquered muscle twitching???

I have had serious muscle twitching going on while I was infected. Gave myself black eyes from arms spasming at night three different times. That was hard to explain.

I too have a small amount of muscle twitching continuing, but I don't like using myself as an example usually because I went such a long time without treatment. But they do seem to be diminishing.

I do know that nerves can take up to 7 years to completely heal. If this is your only remaining symptom, I would tend to think that it's the nerves needing to heal.

might be good to read up on what Dr Klinghardt says about magnesium supplementation and lyme/co. at a minimum muscle testing could indicate whether it's really needed or not.

Thanks everyone. I have not thought of parasites....good point. I will look into this.

I know different things causes twitching. In my case my llmd thoughtine was from Bartonella. Ever since starting to treat for Bart, my muscle twitching has gone away probably 75%.

I had tried everything for a year first for the twitching, Epsom salt baths, magnesium, etc. nothing seemed to help for me until 4 or 5 weeks after starting the Bart meds. At that time I also cut out the baths and magnesium just to know for sure. So at least in my personal case, that's what it is.

I actually think the muscle twitching is from a combination of things:

Including infection, die-off toxins, and nerve damage.

Reason why I think it's partly to do with the infection and die-off is I have occasionally noticed it happen more for me after taking antibiotics.  Also there have been times when I have rifed, and even though I had no muscle twitching for some time, I would get muscle twitching happen in random places while rifing.  Probably it is best to simply use herbs or antibiotics to kill the germs, support your detoxing (something I am doing poorly of and need to improve), and give time for the body to heal. 

My muscle twitching is almost completely gone now and only very rarely happens, now it usually only occurs sometimes after taking antibiotics or while rifing.

The thing is that the ground that our food is grown in is deficient in magnesium, making our food deficient as well. The only way to get proper amounts is with supplements. You can't starve the bacteria of nutrients without starving the body of them first, and that will only make it harder to heal.

"Magnesium is needed by every cell in the body including those of the brain and is one of the most important minerals when considering supplementation because of its vital role in hundreds of enzyme systems and functions related to reactions in cell metabolism, as well as being essential for the synthesis of proteins, for the utilization of fats and carbohydrates. Magnesium is needed not only for the production of specific detoxification enzymes but is also important for energy production related to cell detoxification. A magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every system of the body."

"If magnesium is severely deficient, the brain is particularly affected. Clouded thinking, confusion, disorientation, marked depression and even the terrifying hallucinations of delirium tremens are largely brought on by a lack of this nutrient and remedied when magnesium is given. Because large amounts of calcium are lost in the urine when magnesium is undersupplied, the lack of this nutrient indirectly becomes responsible for much rampant tooth decay, poor bone development, osteoporosis and slow healing of broken bones and fractures. With vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), magnesium helps to reduce and dissolve calcium phosphate kidney stones."

happyjo, my muscle twitching is getting better with bart antibiotics. is that how it is for you?
