Help! Anxiety overload over twitching legs and feet!
Posted , 13 users are following.
hi ladies, so sorry to post this but this has to be the last straw with my anxiety. I was doing really well til I developed twitching feet and calfs. It's absolutely terrified me as I gave into Google and it brought up ALS/MND. My step mum died of MND at the age of 59 so now I'm terrified. Been crying all morning cos the flipping twitches just won't stop! Anyone else had this who can take a bit of the Google sting away? I truly think I'm losing my mind and I can't bear the thought of yet another trip to the docs. This is horrendous. Fingers crossed it's another peri symptom that I'm getting xxxx

My first random thought would be could you be low on magnesium, do you take supplements? You can buy magnesium salts and use as a foot soak and absorption is through the skin.

My anxiety started last year with a panic attack out of the blue, it defiantly coincides with all my peri symptoms. X

Consuming large amounts of magnesium has been shown to help prevent high blood pressure. Magnesium glycinate supplements can help reduce hypertension in individuals struggling with high blood pressure.
Symptoms of Menopause
Magnesium deficiency in menopausal women can cause a variety of negative health effects.
Without enough magnesium, a woman may develop heart, metabolic and bone problems.
A magnesium glycinate supplement can help correct a magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium may help women in the early stages of menopause even if they are not deficient.
Magnesium glycinate can help relieve the hot flashes that are often an extremely uncomfortable symptom of menopause.
Cholesterol and Metabolism
Magnesium glycinate benefits individuals with high cholesterol.
Magnesium glycinate can help increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and decrease levels of bad cholesterol (LDL).
Magnesium glycinate also can help prevent metabolic disorders in individuals with a magnesium deficiency and aid in the absorption of calcium, potassium and phosphorus.
Sleep Quality
Individuals with a magnesium deficiency may have problems with insomnia. This is amplified by surgical procedures.
Magnesium glycinate can help individuals achieve a more restful sleep. It also can help relieve the symptoms of restless leg syndrome that make it extremely difficult to sleep.

Think in meno they should do annual blood checks as routine,then anything lacking you can get a top up ,Maybe there would be less meno probs all round . They'd say it lack of money to be able to do it ,but can find money for any wars etc hey no surprise there. Only us females who keep society going ,and keep the countries in future tax payers .My weekend hormone paddy over .Glad your still popping in to getting us up on the Smlilies ,don't know how to put one up still .xxxxx

Your blood test indicated you were low on these vitamins? I had a blood test and she said everything was fine but I forget what was checked because nobody thought I was going through this premenopause. They checked for everything cause I thought I was going down. 😖 I will have a thorough vitamin check soon. Every year I pig out on Halloween candy but this year I noticed that the chocolate is sticking to my hips. Not impressed. This is not fun at all waaaaaa 😷😂 Take care dears xo
