WTH is causing this???

I have been having the worst muscle spasms in my face today. the little twitches around my eyes and mouth... I have never had this before. What could be going on? This is really freaking me out!

Normally, according to my neurologist, those types of twitches are just signs of fatigue. Have you been overworked, or getting less sleep than usual?

I'd give it a few days to see if they continue, and if they don't call the doctor and have it checked. Probably nothing to worry about, but if it goes on, you'll need some peace of mind.

Bell's Palsy??

No idea...but I hope you can get it figured out.

Maybe it is related to a lack of potassium or a lack of calcium?

yes to all of the above. I am exhausted!
Very stressed out and the fibro is in full flare.

I just have never had this type of facial thing before.


Hopefully thats all it is.


Thanks for all the input

You're welcome. I get alot of twitches and I always attributed them to my MS, but the neuro said they're really not much of an MS thing - more of a your-body-is-exhausted-and-needs-some-serious-sleep thing.

Im used to getting them in my neck and my leg and the doc says its fibro but like I said this is a new one.

I have a weird spot on my leg just above my knee in the front, I call it a "burn spot" it feels like someone is putting out a ciggarette on my leg. Its about that size and burns like crazy for under a minute but it really hurts!


How are you doing with your MS, gg?
