    Yes Leeanne. I so can relate! Have had this for 5 years, I haven't been diagnosed with any neurological disorder but it started when my anxiety issues started.

    My whole body twitches! Even my butt I'm not kidding! It's annoying when I'm in the bus and someone is near me and then my arm starts twitching and they feel awkward! but I'm kind of used to them so far...

    I have taken magnesium and it didn't help. I sometimes think it might have to do with potassium levels? Idk

    Yes, it’s very common. I get them in my legs I notice. It’s nothing to worry about.

    Hi, I know this post was 2017. Just wondered if your twitching had gone? I've had it for several weeks now after a very intense period of anxiety which is mostly health related. Such a terrible combination 🙁.
