Like I can predict which body part would suddenly move and what direction it’ll move in and move there to minimize how forceful the movement is. I’ve been searching all over for years and I have no idea what causes it. It happens more when I’m cold lol. It doesn’t affect my quality of life or anything it’s just some weird unexplained thing.
It’s known as dyskinesia and lots of things can cause it! Magnesium deficiency can be a trigger for it, but so can certain neurological conditions and medications. Has this been happening for a long time? Either way it doesn’t hurt to get it checked by a doctor for peace of mind!
Yeah IDK anything about this, other than to say that when I’m twitchy and crampy I take magnesium and it usually sorts me right out.
It’s not necessarily dyskinesia, though that sounds most likely. OP hasn’t given us enough information. It could just be fasciculations.
I’ve dealt with it my whole life
You could try seeing a neurologist to get an EMG/NCS done. It ranges between uncomfortable to moderately painful, but it doesn’t take too long. My experience is that it never gives you an answer, but apparently some people do get results.
