Twitching of Head, Shoulders, Legs Posted: 01-01-08 15:35pm
When I get stressed my head twitches left
and right, shoulders twitch, legs twitch
and shake when stressed or nervous. I try
to control my head with my neck which just
stiffens up and my whole upper body
stiffens, actually adds to the twitching.
I have had this problem off and on for
almost all my adult life, seems to be
getting worse with age. Hands tend to
shake at times. Not as bad. Some eye
twitching also!
My mom seems to have this same problem,
for years. She has just accepted it as
part of getting older. She has never had
it checked by a Dr.
I have been checked for Diabetes, Thyroid,
and other disorders through bloodwork.
Have not had this checked specifically,
yet I am prediabetic, and have mild
thyroiditus.
Seems to be affecting my life quality more
in social situations, now.

How about some relaxation techniques. Do
you know how to breathe properly? What
other things happen when you start
twitching? Muscle tension can be eased
many ways. What exactly is going on IN
YOUR BODY?

Thanks,
some relaxation does, help, and I know
some breathing, I have tried. I see a
Chiropractor/nutritionist has me taking B
complex, vitamin C, Fish oil, vitamin E
This has been going on off and on for
since teen years. My mother has the same
problem, and her brother had it.
Did see a Dr today, says it sounds like
familial tremors, which is hereditary and
is sending me to a Neuroligist to make
sure it is not Parkinsons,
any other insights to this would be
appreciated, I would rather take care of
this with natural supplements/vitamins,
but at this point it is effecting my
quality of life.

Wow, Penn. Sorry to hear that these
symptoms are effecting your life so much!
If I were you, I would seek advice from a
nutritionist that specializes in
nutritional supplements. Most consult for
around $50 an hour. You could lay all
your diagnostics on the table and ask for
a basic structure of all supplements that
might help you. For example, I used to
work at a health food store and one of the
owners would consult clients 3 times for
$100. He set up a food plan for them
according to their issues and then
followed up with check-ins.
As a side point, I seem to remember that
COQ10 helps nerves, but you would need to
verify that ...
