Hi friends,

I surprised myself by doing about 45 minutes on the elliptical yesterday and broke a good sweat. I noticed that my muscle twitching has been worse since. Did I do too much? Aggravate the Lyme and Bart? Or are my muscles just annoyed and "waking up" from being underused for years? Any thoughts? Thanks for reading smile

Likely the latter. Anyone who has been out of the gym, or out of shape for a while will experience muscle twitching, lyme or no lyme.

Sounds like you over did it.

You need to slowly build yourself up over time.

Not necessarily. I've experienced a few times in my life where I have gone back to working out after a good length of time off and never experienced twitching. This was prelyme.

Mine still are twitching sometimes after exercise and also randomly here and there. Lyme and co's have done more damage to my muscles than any lack of exercise ever has. But they are slowly getting there.

It may take awhile before you can work out the way you used to. But keep at it... you will get stronger.

BKP -

I was trying to maintain some activity after I made some good progress w/ my tx. Every time I rode my bike, every time I walk more than a couple blocks, every time I'm on my feet for more than 15 minutes, my muscles do kind of the same thing - it's a combination of twitching and vibrating.

It's definitely better than it used to be but any moderate activity brings it on - it's awful and makes my legs feel weak.

IT SHOULD BE BETTER BY NOW. I'm pretty frustrated by this. I'm really hoping it's just the rebuilding my protocol from the biofilm busting. Fingers crossed.

I get this. Usually first thing in am when I start moving around and after I ride my bike. twitching visible and alot inside the skin not visible. This is how with me I can always tell my lyme is active.

Pirouette, how did you do on the vanco. The first time I used it , the lyme was knocked down for many years. The second time about 2 years.
