I just had an, "Ah ha" moment! Here is the difference!

I have twitches and not spasms (well not any longer...I did in the beginning). Thank God they are gone! Twitching is next on the list to go!

Happy Healing to Everyone!

Great post Wryter! I also have twitches and not muscle spasms! Although I haven't had a single twitch in probably two weeks!

I was blessed with both. shakehead I still get twitches every so often - especially when I'm tired, as my nervous system is still healing.

Thanks for the post though!! I'm sure it will help other determine which they are trying to deal with.

I have twitxhes, spasms and cramping (it lasts longer than my spasms and have to go thru contortions to try and get it to resolve), The spasms and twtching are very quick, sometimes I can see them on the surface other times I just feel them.

So I read that link and it looks like what I call spasms is really cramping, it is fairly short and painful and I try to stretch into different positions to relieve it. Whereas the twitching is not painful, just annoying and visible usually on the surface. Thanks for the link.

Fasciculations are my most annoying symptom. I have good days with hardly any twitching and then I'll have a day where I'm twitching EVERYWHERE. they are getting better though.
