I have these weird twitch things from time to time

[QueBert]

not very often, but every once in awhile I get these things where it's like the muscles in my arms or legs start to twitch. When it happens it's very noticeable, doesn't hurt but it feels weird, almost like there's something under my skin trying to get out. It just happened and I watched the movement on my arm. A few spurts of movement, a few seconds off then more twitching. Lasts a minute or 2 total.

always wondered what the hell this is exactly. Not even sure if my explanation makes any sense, it's hard explain exactly what's happening.

anyone following me?

eat a banana to get some potassium
and drink some water, you may be partially dehydrated

haha gotta love ATOT, I expected these kind of answers, you should have a column in a local paper, people write into the one in ours and ask medical questions. His answers and boring and long, I'd love to see you give people medical advice.

thumbs up

I never thought much about it either, but today for some reason I did. I'm sure some of the Doctors on ATOT will tell me I'm dying of the Black Plague or something. I'll be honest I posted this question to get some crazy responses as much as to actually get some maybe real insight.

Ya I've had those occassionally, don't think it's a big deal. Ask a doctor next time you are sick and go in.

 

[bignateyk]

dehydration and lack of potassium can cause these. I get them occasionally.

Do you work out a lot? Are you anxious?

Sounds like Benign Fasiculation Syndrome to me.

No, it IS BFS.

I have something sort of related that drives me crazy. If I'm at all tired and in a cold environment, say below 50F, I shiver nearly uncontrollably. Is this some sort of vitamin deficiency? Or is it a normal thing? Or?

Stop smok'in that stuff!

Its lupus.

i get them mainly the day after a hard workout.
