A related discussion,
Lower lip twitching was started.
i haven't looked at the forum for a while, in response to the
fasciculations they began about 20 years after my diagnosis of herpes, they began when I was 12, so I guess the two can't be linked.
An investigative question: did the fasciculations begin around the same time you contracted the oral herpes? Have you ever thought that maybe the fasciculations all over are being caused by the herpes virus?
I did have a herpe outbreak on my lip the morning of your answer, though i would not have equated the two together,
thankyou for such a quick answer
Dear Lis:
Sorry that you have had such long lasting fasciculations. As you are aware, these muscle twitches come and go. They seem to get worse during times of fatigue, stress, illness, etc. They can occur in almost any muscle group. It is most likely that your lip twitching is just a part of the fasciculations that you are prone to have. Sometimes, if you have Herpes and are effected in the lip area, twitching can be a signal of an outbreak. But, I would think that the former is the most likely situation.
Sincerely,
