Involuntary muscle twitching/ Shaking

[Tongue_Ring]

....Great way to scare us all. Maybe it is caused by the large amounts of Coke I drink?...not the diet stuff either, so it isn't aspartame.

dr pepper is better than coke

Agreed. Except for those rare times you get coke from a fountain and its got the extra syrup in there.. I almost never drink soda these days but god was I addicted to Dr. Pepper for a while.

I think a large part of my problem maybe be due to coffee. I started drinking a lot for a while and I think it definitely increased during that time. I've cut down A LOT recently... I barely drink it now, besides the occasional iced coffee which is too good to resist sometimes.. I even turned down coffee for orange juice today when I went out for breakfast (I was realllly hung over and tired too so that was pretty rare) and I haven't really payed attention but I think it might have decreased. I'm sure its not ALL because of coffee but I have a hunch that might be one of the biggest reasons for it. I think it also might be due to some sort of social anxiety type thing... I mean I'm a pretty social guy but I think theres certain akward situations (like sitting on a bus and being in class for some reason) that bring it out more.

LOL holy crap. Until now I remember as a kid getting up to go to the washroom then during and after I'd feel lightheaded like I was about to faint (drop in blood pressure) and this kinda happens now and then though rare now.

That's weird, but reassuring.

Oh, to those with "twitches" it could be symptomatic of a developing neurological disorder (ie MS or ALS or Parkinsons).. though most twitching could be fasiculations, which are benign and the result of perhaps a lack of certain minerals etc, who knows.

But you will want to go to a neurologist if you're sure its not due to a muscle injury of some sort. Also, if you feel muscle loss around the area of the twitching, that is also not a good sign and more reason to see a doctor asap.

the twitch while pissing (for me after i run out) is pretty damn normal... i think there is a real term for it, too...

well, its more like a shivering thing. I'm positive every guy has it.

lol All along I thought this was something that didn't happen often. I guess this is common.
