Possible Causes for Random Muscle Twitches All Over My Body...?
I have a long history of "migratory paresthesias" as my neurologist refers to them. When I was around 14 years old I started getting strange sensations all over my body. I would feel numb & tingly, or like my limbs were heavy and harder to move for no apparent reason. I had an extensive work up including an MRI, Spinal Tap, EMG, & various bloodwork tests. I even took a psychological test to determine how susceptible I was to "the power of suggestion" to rule out if I was a hypochondriac (from what I understand) and it came back normal. Anyhow, an explanation for my symptoms was never given. They seemed to dissappear for several years, and then come and go. It mainly involves weakness on the right side of my body. I can still move fine, but my right arm and leg feel weaker and heavier to move. I have come to terms with the fact that I will probably never get an explanation for this symptom, but recently, I gave birth to my first child. He is seven months old now, and ever since I have been getting random muscle twitches all over my body. I have been following up with my neurologist and had another MRI & EMG to rule out diseases like Lou Gherig's/MS. Ironically, my mother was recently diagnosed with MS in the last few years, but, as the doctor stated "You look good on paper", and there is no evidence of any neurological disease. They have put me on Clonazepan 3X a day which seemed to help at first but lately the twitching is getting worse, even after the dose was just increased a month ago. Though my symptoms do not limit my abilities to do anything at present, they are an annoyance and scare me, particularly since my mother does have MS. Does anyone know what might cause these random twitches/spasms? I was checked for a magnesium deficiency and was told this was not the problem. Are there any other woman who have experienced these twitches after having a baby? Any advice would be much appreciated. I do follow up with my neurologist every few months, so I feel at this point it would be pointless to make yet another appt to go in if I can get advice from anyone else who may know the cause of my "twitchiness"....Thank you!

Is marijuana linked to muscle twitching ?
yes, i get twitches, but it is because it depletes the vitamins in my system. the person that told you to take a multivitamin was absolutely correct. i've been a pothead for two years, and i noticed the twitching when i first became a smoker. i was high and i remember thinking that the twitching was from vitamin depletion, because that seemed quite logical to me, since i get eye twitches from low potassium. so i took a multivitamin and realized about half an hour later that they went away. now i'll take a multivitamin if i start to experience the twitching. also fruit helps, like apple juice or a banana or something. by the way, i just want to say that i'm a pothead, and (surprisingly enough!) i'm an intelligent, normal, responsible person. so i don't think you should listen to these people telling you that it is terrible and to never do it again, because i know, and many other people know, that it doesn't do much harm other than make you overeat and cough a lot.
