hello wondering if anyone on here suffers from muscle spasms and muscle twitching due to possibly a hormone fluctuation ?

      I cant take one more day of it! mostly in legs and feet, some in arms, stomach, back. lips, face. I am so scared 😦 I am taking Vit D3 2000 U daily and 250 mg Magnesium daily.

      Be careful you can take to much of Vitamin D3 and get unwanted symptoms too...

    Hi Donna

    Oh yes!!!

    Spasms, twitching and now extremely restless legs all day long.

    Spasms are random but mostly in arms, legs neck and upper stomach.

    My lower legs feel like they have a vibrator in them o-:

    It is sooooooo annoying and magnesium supplement helps only a little.

    I have read that restless legs often hit women between 40 and 50 due to hormonal changes, increased stress and anxiety.

    Oh yeah, finger twitching as we speak. Muscle spasms in my back so bad I had to drive to my doctor and get a shot. they were caused by a combination of hormones and stressful job.

    yes! i also get cramp and extremely tired legs. magnesium is what helps me. recently i've gone up to double dose as i was getting cramp in my neck/throat (which is a horrendous feeling of not being able to breath). i think my first real symptom of peri was muscle spasm and muscle ache and maybe it will be the last one to go.

    yes, yes, yes! I AM GOING NUTS! It triggers my health anxiety "is it possibly scleroses, parkinson, ALS." I have muscle twitching in my entire body some days. Today I have muscle spasms in my fingers and hands and feet. So frustrating. Thanks for asking this question. I really makes my day to see the responses, and knowing that I am not alone.
