Bees is a NO no and I mean NO! Shot enough times in the USMC and don't care how small the holes they make are, NO! :-)

I have no idea what kind of cats claw I got from Sage herbs in my Tincture? Think it is the wrong kind?

On the 8 ball thing? My government already fixed ME up with Agent Orange. Wasn't only exposed, had it sprayed DIRECTLY on me in North Viet Nam. I know, I know. I wasn't SUPPOSED to be in the North. But there I was (long story).

Ughh it happened again today. The muscle above my left kidney used to twitch for a few weeks but then stopped for whatever reason. Its been 3 weeks since it stopped but today in the morning the muscle above my right kidney started twitching. I am so done with this BS

Yeah but just think about all this exercise we're getting while watching TV (not)?
Posted 9/28/2016 11:39 PM (GMT 0)

Hi Mike!

It might seem like this disease has got a hold on you right now but it hasn't taken your awesome perspective and fantastic sense of humour!!

Btw's, I used to watch my son twitch. His body would have random twitching all over, even his face. Nights when he was feeling really crappy he would twitch and flail in his sleep. He would wake up exhausted and I felt awful for him. But that has subsided now, he seems generally calmer all round.

Things will get better for you too, I know it! :)

Big hug

Iv magnesium stopped the twitching to but since it make a tiny hole you may want to try a cream ...

I twitch too.

One of the medications my gp had me on (for the stupid Fibro diagnosis) was Elavil. (Amitriptyline)

I DID have something very like seizures but in just my legs, with that towards the end of the 5 years I was on it. I had them in bed, very early mornings. I thought the Elavil was doing it. That was about 27 years ago. Because of that and another reason I weaned off of them and hadn't had anything like that since. Until
last Winter, again in bed, the nerve endings in my legs went completely haywire and what began as something akin to restless legs quickly turned into uncontrollable rigid thrasing. But both blood and oxygen are in short supply in my extremities.

I never had one twitch until the functional doctor did some allergy testing on my to find out if any particular bacteria was the trigger for my flares (before discovering Lyme). It turned on the muscle twitching, and the allergy tester watched my bicep twitch nonstop. It lasted for weeks. My current twitch is in the left side of my abs and has been there at least 2 weeks.

My muscles have twitched for 2 years. It was my first symptom. It has greatly improved, though. It used to be a twitch every couple of minutes and now I can go hours without noticing a twitch.
One thing that is kind of odd regarding my recent relapse. Twitching NEVER increased. This symptom did not come back. In fact, it actually improved. Very strange.

Twitching is one of those things that happens with an active infection but also can happen due to the damage left behind. Many patients who are post-treatment and doing fine have the occasional twitch.

I notice my spasms seem better if i avoid carbs like bread rice and pasta. Ill be eating cardboard soon.

Hahahaha OMG I almost spit my water out on my screen!


I too get muscle twitches. The frequency, location, and severity changes all the time. After 10 months of treating with various abx and herbs, I decided my main issue was Bart due to constant lower leg twitching among other things, so I moved on to Rifampin. After a month, the twitching was still there so I stopped the Rifampin and decided to go all natural with herbs and monolaurin and went after candida.

After a few weeks on the naturals and going after candida, the lower leg twitching stopped but I can't say exactly what I can attribute it to.

General twitching still occurs but not as bad. Lately, it has been my eyelids, SUPER annoying. And my legs go crazy after a brisk walk for 30-40 mins. I think it is the increased blood flow affecting the nerves, probably damaged nerves at that.

My muscle twitch about 6 years, and then twitch first start, it very strong. I am on abx 4 month and my twitch dont improve, because i have bart and lyme, 3 month i eat abx for lyme and now on treatment for bart.

Then muscle twitching, you do thinking in first time about bartonella.
Posted 9/29/2016 5:18 PM (GMT 0)
alex - I'm not sure what you're asking...but twitching could be from bartonella, yes.

What are you using to treat bartonella now?
Posted 9/29/2016 5:18 PM (GMT 0)
Welcome alex ...they really do make magnesium cream or oil i wasnt just scareing out mikes phobia
Posted 9/29/2016 5:28 PM (GMT 0)
Girlie, i think only bartonella do muscle twitch. many lyme peoples have seronegative bart, and in our country forum peoples cure bart and twitching go away.
I am on rifampin + macrolide, and artemesia annua extract capsule.

Thanks bluelyme, magnesium symptomatic cure, it can only low frequancy twitch(
Posted 9/29/2016 5:35 PM (GMT 0)
No, Lyme causes lots of muscle twitching as well.

I've had such severe muscle twitching that my whole body (and yes I mean my entire body) would start twitching and I would quite literally "bounce/vibrate" right out of a chair or couch or off of an exam table.

I've also had seizures and passing out randomly. The seizures are not connected to muscle twitches/spasms/cramps though. The muscle thing is "poor signals" reaching the muscles - seizures occur in the brain.

@trav -But you have both ya ?Did chron tonic stop it for you trav or was it the houttynia ?.. also what was your tx for rmsf ..im sure i have that
Posted 9/29/2016 8:19 PM (GMT 0)
Yep, I've had both of what I explained above. They are both very scary to experience, as it's the body completely out of control very visibly.

It was a combination of the chronic tonic and the houttuynia that helped stop those things, along with all the other things - detoxing, supporting all body functions, making sure my body got good nutrition and so on.

Just got back from neurologist. Had EMG testing done and he said muscles and nerves are perfect. No neuropathy. At least I have that going for me 😃.

EEG Monday and VNG Tuesday.
