Muscle twitches/tightness and pin pricks

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi, I am 25 years old. About 6-7 years ago, I went through a period of about 2 years where I was experiencing muscle fasiculations all over my body constantly as well as fleeting pin-prick sensations and cramp-like feelings that last for a split second and then immediately move somewhere else. I also will get diffuse head pressure (not painful), ringing in my ears, and "itchy" sensations. I had a full diagnostic workup (probably several times) and nothing was ever found. It eventually went away and has been gone for years. However, in the past week or 2 it has come back in full force with the same symptoms. I don't know what it is. It's possible that it is stress related, but it is very strange. I was wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms and has ever received a diagnosis. I keep thinking its some sort of inflammatory/autoimmune disorder but all of my acute phase reactants have always been normal.

    Kind of feels like what I am experiencing, started with twitching in my calves and thighs, but then ping everywhere, but constant in legs. Always seems to come with stiffness and cramp type pain without full cramp. Pins and needles or tingling feeling, had all the tests but nothing coming up,
