body twitches

[tedabell]

I would like to know what is causing this unexplained muscle twitching that I am experiencing. I have been experiencing this for about a year now what happens is my arms, legs, calves, thighs, and sometimes toes twitches. The twitches feels like quick muscle jerking it feels like electricity that come and go.I am seeing a neurologist I have had blood work done for electrolytes that came out fine no vitamin deficiency. I have also had a cat-scan done that was good. I also had an MRI done as well as a MRI on the spine to rule out Chiari malformation the results were good with the exception of a little cerebrum spinal fluid that was found. I was told that may be why I'm experiencing this unexplained body twitching.I would like to know if there's other things that could be causing this and how can it be prevented.

Benign Fasciculation Syndrome is a lot more common than Isaacs Syndrome. I would check on that first. Get an EMG.

Ive just been diagnosed with orbicularis oculi neuromyotonia.....my case is only limited to my eyes but your symptoms sound like neuromyotonia ( isaacs syndrome) its a very rare disorder but maybe this could help if you google it you will find more information :) x hope this helps you.

You might want to google Benign Fasciculation Syndrome. That is what I have. I have twitching all over with no reason. I had a complete work up by a neurologist including an EMG and nothing was found. As long as I don't think about it, I don't really notice it.
