Anyone can do it with his muscles?

When my muscles were twitching like crazy...there was one really bad one on my left arm..and it was more of a slow twitch...and I could see the muscle move...and then it would hold that spot for a couple of seconds...and then go back to normal.

When I'm at my twitchy-est, yes I get these sometimes. I had one on the top of my forearm that kept going for like a day and a half. Otherwise, sometimes on other parts of the body, such as in face muscles or digestive tract, it seems like a twitch then a retraction that stays depressed like it's paralysed, I had one for the past day or two in my left cheek of my face, like bells palsy, like a facial muscle was stuck in a closed position. I feel like when these buggers are most active, dying or reproducing or both, they short circuit all the normal neurotransmitters, resulting in neuropathies of emotional, physical and muscular nature.

Thank you guys i'm bite relaxed now... twitching isn't soo intense but polyneuropathy is worse...

I'll try mag tab sr... burrascano recommend it.

It's weird what this bugs can do it with our nerves... and frustratig when doctors don't know anything about it... dirty emg etc...

I'm the boy that appears in the video. It's what i can do with my muscles but EMG is clean and shows no atrophy , but i can induce fascicilations and muscle rippling.

In my calves i can do the same but the quality of the video doesn't show it clear.

I see nothing abnormal about the way your contracting your muscles here. Muscles in the legs have several layers and have "firing sequence" which will have a ripple effect. Normal.

The more lean and muscular developed someone is the more this is noticeable in the legs. So its even more noticeable in some other people.

One can still have muscle issues, and muscle adhesion (stuck to each other to some extent)- this is not really going to show up in a video, but will be more apparent due to uneven left to right firing order and loss of range of motion.

You're not trying to contract your muscles, right?
They're just doing this on their own?

No Girlie, it happens when i contract my muscles but it's like if they were hyperexcitabillity.... fine movements and it happens... and i couldn't do it in the past.... i can induce fasciculations and muscle rippling...

I don't think inducing fasciculations is normal...I can't do it when I'm flexing my muscles.

Do you see atrophy in this movements Girlie? I'm very distressed and it's hitting me harder...

Astroman, here you can see the rippling effect better.

I do see the atrophy - the dents....or whatever you call them.


I have the same thing.

My calf muscles were large (for a girl) - and my husband was always joking that he wished he had mine. (seriously)

Now, there's that indentation and overall they're smaller. I use a tape measure and occasionally measure them to see if they've changed. So far they're stable - so not getting worse.
But, my right calf is 1/2 " smaller in diameter than my left now.

This bugs are disgusting... and i'm mg deficiency... maybe i need parenteral MG.

And how is possible girlie that the emg is clean every time

Neurologist say that it's my fibers that are more excitable but i don't know... i'm afraid

I don't know. I never had the word 'clean' or 'dirty' on mine.

But, everything was apparently "A-OKAY" according to the Physiatrist who did the test.

I asked for the report...but didn't get much details.
I think I'm going to call and ask for more information.

I'll do it Girlie, but i can not understand how is possible to have atrophy without appear in a EMG... Neurologists are rudes....

".... I would think you can get muscle atrophy even if the nerves are working."

- yes true.

Nerves are only part of the battle with muscles, the other half is muscle chemistry which can bne altered by infection, methalation ect.

And nervous system tension/anxiety can deteriorate muscles from cutting off circulation. This can be/is a downward spiral itself. More tension = tight muscles > less circulation > starving muscles > atrophy and or more tightness > .....starts over again.

Constant thinking/worrying about it can increase symptoms.

A calm mind and self myofacial muscle tension release is a good starting point. I still had to do this after ABX, since muscles have learned memory, not much different than bent plastic sitting in the sun too long, will take a new "set" to its new position, even if its the wrong position, which becomes the new normal.

Just killing the critters is not a gaurentee that your muscles will erase their past "ill" memory. I have proven this theory myself. The length of time ones muscle were "ill" is what makes the difference. Yes , I have corrected most of it 2.5 years post ABX.

People with lyme less than 1-2 years or so who went through "critter eradication" which made everything normal again, is not a fair comparison to long term lyme (a few years plus).

Those foam fitness rollers may not provide instant relief, but they do instantly provide better circulation, which will have long term benefits- its technically muscle detoxing, out with the old blood and in with the new (plus nutrients).
