yes i get this, i think its related to gaba/glutamate imabalance and dopamine swings.

really the only thing that helps in the moment is ibruprofen with muscle relaxant (am thinking of just getting a prescritpion for muscle rexant on its own)

magneisum glycinate with l theanine could also be helpful.

long term being careful with glutamate in diet could help

sadly i haven't figured out how to deal with dopamine issue, stimulants help but then even worse the next day.

I have had this myself. But compared to nausea, bloatedness, tiredness and migraines it's obviously pretty trivial. It's something though I'd have thought that the medical people should have pondered what exactly was going on.

Maybe I should have explained my muscle twitching a bit better. With me it would be where a small area of skin (only say 1 or 2 centimetres across) would be just vibrating on and off for a few minutes. Never bothered me, just a bit strange.

Just in case you were wondering, that is a description of a "fasciculation"...

Thanks for that. I don't think I've seen that word. I will look it up. Please feel free to enlighten me about it.
