Cramps and concerns

Thank you for the prayers. I do eat a banana first thing in morning almost everyday. I drink water pre and post run. I also eat protein as well, but maybe I lack some magnesium. I also worry about eating too much protein. I do admit that when I wasnt racing, the diet went bad by eating candy, this or that. I am 25 years old. Honestly, when I hear people having ALS, it feels like it’s not rare. 

Also my posture is bad too. Idk if this is relevant.

Update: after my run during the afternoon, the twitching stopped. 

Glad to hear it stopped. Some people produce a lot of adrenaline and until it gets released it may cause symptoms. Plus I forgot to much caffeine can cause twitching.

I don't drink too much caffeine. I do know stress can cause it too.

Note that I run and lift.

You are right about stress and since you lift that is probably why you habe twitches. It is common in body builders and people who lift. Don't worry to much and just keep exercises and what you usually do. You can supplement magnesium even if your labs are normal. Or just drink Powerade or Gatorade. It has magnesium in it. Try it for a week and see if it helps.

I've been eating nuts and I've been feeling little better. I'm not worried about twitching. I'm more worried about the right thumb and upper body strength. Sometimes I had to work a little harder to do something.

We’ll see in a week.

If you don't improve in a few weeks then find a university hospital that has well trained neuromuscular neurologist to do a emg so that you know they know what they are doing. I think you will be okay but to help you feel better knowing it is something that can be easily treated.

For sure. I had concerns like this few months ago and it turns out I had a pinched nerve in C7-C8 region. I had the EMG. However, this is different. 

Good idea hun I’m having issues my self I had gbs still feel nervousness shaky lots of sand paper feeling more in my feet upper part of my leg I’m still walking slow feel safer with the walker long distance in wheel chair I don’t no I been sick 7 time winter gets worse . . Feel depressed cause of it it’s some thing u wish never to have from being paralyzed for 2 years I have numbness mainly also in those area feel when some one rubs my feet makes me feel more relaxed . Before this I was so active hope this week I can maybe go gym on Sunday try going every day for an hour . Hope they figure it out stressful I know😞

I had c4 c5 c6 disc bulge causing foraminal stenosis. All before I fell ill. I had mild case of GBS miller fisher variant. I developed muscle twitching all over for 7 months and then they slowed but never went away completely. I get a few a day now but I can live with that just not all over my body constantly. I had many emgs all were normal after the first one showed axonal issues. I was still diagnosed gbs but had spontaneous recovery. It is possible with miller fisher. I had it from flu vaccine. Most get it from the flu or gastro illness prior even a months earlier. Truth is they really dont know the assume. It was a terrible experience. Cramping is common in it too. Many people hundreds have told me they still cramp and twitch even 30 yrs later. CIDP comes on over a periid of time without anything like illness. You just start feeling weak and twitching and atrophy. The raised protein in the csf is a big sign. I hope you dont have any of these but at least these are treatable. Talk to you soon and hopefully you will feel stronger.

Yeah. I have too much to live and strive for. I just hope its just that I need to catch up on sleep, certain foods, etc. I’m sorry that you have to go through this.

Sorry that you have to go through this. I hope I feel better. I dont think it’s GBS because all I don’t have leg weakness, just few second twitches. 

Your probably right you just need rest and you need something your not getting in your body. Magnesium potassium vit d or b vit. I would get more sleep try not to get anxious try some regular light exercise and water. Powerade is a good source for all of those try 2 or 3 16oz bottles a day.

I do drink water with Nunn tablets. Yeah I’ll try Powerade. I just think that drinking too much is bad for you.

You are right to.much isnt good for you. What are nunn tablets?

Did I tell you to much b6 can cause twitching. The neuromuscular neurologist told me that. I am in America where r u?

It has electrolytes. Just get water, put the tablet in, and let it fizz.

I’m from Bay Area!

Ok I am in Florida. Well just give it a try and let me know if anything helps.

Lol what are nun tablets guess that numbs things lol but plz explain?

I think I might need that so basically what does this do to make u feel better? Think I need to eat more fruits vegetables and more water. I buy cases cause i always get good deals but every one like my grandson 14 drinks lots of it and my boy friend but me not much at all think it’s good start Morning to do so .

I hope you don’t have it it’s not some thing any would want but lots say and I lived at rehab 8 months just like having episode of ms yepppp . Young girl that was there she was paralyzed she never had it so bad till I was there there were 3 people that came in after me one before me with gbs one was a doctor he had it bad like me . Thing that p****d me off is what he said to me I’ll get better faster then u cause I’m a doctor I’ll snap my fingers get all treatmeant that I want . I wanted to cry so this what I said to him kids my ass your pathetic cause people like me others you have attitude that was rude for you to say when we’re all suffering from something . I had it bad I was on life support I’m still suffering . Sad people like us that are here talking at least help each other , specially we’re behind our cell phones computer to feel some what happy we can talk to people to get in site and help each other . 

Sorry meant kiss lol

Nunn tablets is a flavored tablet you put in water. It has electrolytes and prevents you from getting dehydrated. 

I’m sorry you have to go through that. Some doctors are not nice people. Tbh, when it comes to running injuries, I dont get along with them because they don’t understand what I go through.

I’m noticing better results recently. Less cramps, but still paying attention.

Awesome hun oh really because I’m having big issue with that my heart been very high heart rate I feel dehydrated a lot funny you mentioned this where do I get this I’ve been on I’ v few times in 6 weeks due to this . See we’re a doctor should be telling me this we’re would I get this do I need prescription for this? And is it like having those posicals that have it in them?

I know Hun been there put up with this a lot but thank god im a great hearted person I just go in my head .What everrrr lol . I should of said yea I’m a doctor to I’ll get all the great help to 🙄 but then I’d stoop to his level that’s not who I want to be . Going to the gym tomorrow maybe once I start back up I’ll feel a bit better it’s worth the try . Hope you feel better to Hun 🤗 

its not a prescription. you can get it at retail or order online. IDK about posicals.

Sorry what they do think cause I had bitten popsicals with it in it or it’s already made not sure if y can get it a a pharmacist.
