Twitch..

Posted by: Mick on: 1 May 2008

I’ve got this muscle twitch on the inside of my elbow on my left arm.

*twitch*

It sometimes randomly twitches by itself

Sometimes it even goes crazy and twitches non-stop for about a minute.

It annoys the crap out of me. One time, I had this twitch in my right arm at the same time as I had my eyes dilated and was in a dark room in a laser eye surgery room.

I became so annoyed and focussed on the twitch that I think I had some sort of panic attack. My ears were ringing. I sweated profusely and my eyes became blurry.

That was the last time I’ve had one of those episodes, but I’ll never forget it.

Every time I get a twitch it’s the same thing. It stays for a day or so and then goes away, only to pop up somewhere else a week or so later.

I really wish I could just poke it out with a fork to stop it sometimes.

….

Does anyone else get this?

What’s it called in medical terms?

Muscle fasciculation. Or just plain old twitching. But fasciculation is a much more cool word hehehe. :) Try saying that 5 times fast lol.

Usually caused by stress but if you drink a lot of caffeine (coffee, tea, coke) then cut back n they will prolly go away.

It’s called “eat a damn banana.”

You’re probably low in potassium.

I get them in my eyelid sometimes, and different spots on my arm.
I’ve found that if I move it stops, so I keep still and just enjoy the weird sensation :o )

Note: NOT IN A WEIRD WAY!

Thanks Doctors!
I ate a banana yesterday and this morning and haven’t felt it at all today.

:)

I didn’t know about the banana thing.
Happens to me sometimes, I just figure it’s early-onset Parkinson’s disease
