Muscle fasciculation; Fasciculations of muscle
Definition Return to top
Muscle twitches are fine movements of a small area of muscle.
Considerations Return to top
Muscle twitching is the result of minor local muscle contractions or the uncontrollable twitching of a single muscle group served by a single motor nerve fiber or filament.
Muscle twitches are minor and often go unnoticed. Some are common and normal, while others indicate a neurologic disorder.
Common Causes Return to top
* Benign twitches (not caused by disease or disorders)
o Often affecting the eyelids, calf, or thumb
o Normal and quite common, often triggered by stress or anxiety
* A diet deficiency
* Drug overdose (caffeine)
* Drug side effect (such as diuretics, corticosteroids and estrogens)
* Exercise
Symptoms suggestive of a neurological cause of fasciculations include:
* Wasting of muscle
* Weakness
* Other findings of nerve dysfunction
Neurological illnesses where fasciculations are seen include:
* Chronic denervation of muscle due to disk compression of nerve exiting the spinal cord
* ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)
* Spinal muscular atrophy
* Muscular dystrophy
* Myopathy

did you try the obvious altready? eat a banana, down a gatorade (magnesium/potassium), l-taurine, plenty of water. <- those work for me, also read about glycine % co-q10 but never tried it for cramps/spasms
