Vibrations: Part 2
Posted: 10-30-03 14:56pm

I went to the doctor today and had a discussion about the jerking muscles.

1) they are common among autoimmune patients.

2) unfortunately, they are common among other issues as well, including heart disease and kidney disease. They can be caused by many things...(as clarebear said) a shortage of magnesium, potassium, and a host of other things.


3) if you have them, you need to tell your doctor so that the source of them can be correctly determined.

4) a good otc supplement, vitamin e, may help with them. Take the vitamin e at night if your muscle twitches are worse at night.

5) if you are on cellcept, do *not* take them together (i.E. At the same time).

This is what I found out...I look forward to reading what the rest of you guys hear from your doctors! I hope this helps in some way!

Hugs,
ladybrannon

I wish. Anyway, just wanted to put a little "lightness" into everybody's day. Happy halloween and all that.

The vibrations are getting a little worse so will be calling my rheummy today (yes, sam43, I am a slacker).

On another note, like ladybrannon I will be moving too. Anybody from the myrtle beach area?

Yeah yeah sam43 I just called over the weekend and most likely will see my rheummy later this week or early on next week about those vibrations of mine.

Just wanted to keep you posted. It's a little worse now but i'm not having any grand mal seizures or anything.
