    Hi Maria,

    I am not sure what graves disease is, but if you are entering perimenopause or menopause, then muscle twitching is quite common.

    It is usually the lack of or lessening of estrogen that make the muscle twitch (or atleast that is what I have been told).

    Up your magnesium intake, or start taking magnesium supplements - either orally or magnesium oil spray. It really helps.

    Hang in there...

    hey I hear you I'm 51 and know I'm in peri, i too suffer with twitches I get them all over my body and they really freak me out. im currently layed in bed and having them right now

    I've had mine for ages and they are sometimes that bad that they effect my sleep, I too have googled, the worst thing I could have done as I suffer with health anxiety and I worry I have ALS. I've posted before about muscle twitching and a lot off people who suffer with anxiety have them, I think they are quite common, I do think mine seem to get worse the more I focus on them. so just know you are not alone I also know a lot of ladies in peri have them. try not to focus on them as i know it makes them worse. I know you are ok and it's all a part of this awful journey we are going through. big hugs xx
