A twitch in time

My arm has been twitching for the whole day... This morning it was twitching.. but I thought it would go away.

the Twitch is kinda strange as I can see it physically and i can feel it too. (internally and externally) It's not twitching now.. but it was twitching quite badly.

I read online that it could be due to stress, poor eating habits, or other factors such as lack of sleep.

I've been eating... okay.. maybe not the most balanced diet in the world.. not too sure about the stress.. and of course.. sleep. watching too much of DENNY CRANE and ALAN SHORE lately.. I've finally gotten around to watching my 2 seasons of Boston Legal. and I'm gonna buy the next 3. (i.e 3,4,5)

Well anyway about the twitch... I went online and searched for the reasons of the twitch and I came to the MOST HUMOUROUS website about twitches.

here are some of my favourite comments..

I get it everywhere..

I've been experiencing muscle twitching for years. And it occurs all over my body. I can't even name a place where I haven't experience twitching before. The weirdest part was probably at the tip of my nose, I watched it move up and down... Sooo creepy. I regularly experience twitching around my calves, for a couple of hours, every single day. I also get it on my butt. Wish I could make it stop. I occasionally feel it on my cheeks, whenever I sneeze too hard.. Go figure.

hiw wife may find out!!

My wife is going to laugh

Damn she has been looking for a reason to yell at me about my eating habbits and looks like my twitch has given her the chance. Hope she doesn't find this site.

MANY CAUSES for twitching...

I have twitching off and on as well. Sometimes it goes away for years, but recently has been a problem again, mostly below the knees.

The medical term is called fasciculations, and the docs usually call them 'benign' fasciculations', even though they're annoying as hell.

They can be due to many different deficiencies: Vitamin D is a main one, b-12 is another, essential fatty acid imbalances, and then of course the usual suspects, calcium and/or magnesium and/or both.

Some strange entries include;

It makes it even more annoying when my finger moves, and it freaks my friends out too!

Then someone had the bright idea of calling everyone twitchers

Hi muscle twitchers
I think every single muscle in my body had twitched during last month..

and everyone else after that were refereed to everyone else as twitchers! one was offering his/her opinion that the twitchers were rain detectors ...

MAYBE IT'S THE RAIN.

This is hilarious! I am in my thirties and have been twitching since I was about 7 or 8..... The funny thing is (and you may laugh) my mom used to say that her mom used to tell her that when your body twitches that it means it is going to rain.

I thought this guy was very sincere..

I have that same problem ( But in my Thigh only)

Right now after eating my muscles twitched, now I am having some aicd indigestion.
Since twitches started I take magnesium, calcium, and omega oils.

DON'T DISCOUNT FOOD ALLERGIES.

Causes for twitching

Unbalanced diet and using the computer for long periods of time are the most probable causes for twitching. Too much stress could also be an influencing factor.

i mean... who else but people who are on the website contributing to the comments.. and searching on it have in common? we eat badly.. we spend all our waking hours on the computer... and we don't exercise.. Common?? OF COURSE!

that's like modern day life.. but you don't see everyone's butts twitching! or do you?? :S

lets not talk about butt twitches.. they are GROSSS especially if its cellulitey... hehehe...

WAVESSS ... WAVES!!
