I twitch but not to that extent.I was on lyrica for a week a short time ago ,I was twitching really badly and my GP said that this increases the muscle twitches.It is a usual symptom of fibro.You can be prescribed muscle relaxants if you ask your GP.

Many twitch. It is a problem with fibro. I have got much worse over the last 3 years too. Sometimes as soon as I rest and when I awake. I try to wake fully before I walk into the bathroom (ministry of funny walks). lol

I have a muscle relaxant which helps a great deal.

What muscle relaxant have you been prescribed. ? My gp won't prescribe

Thanks guys. It has got worse over the past 2 years, i have recently been on 5mg of diazapam for my back but hasn't helped with the twitching. Will ba at docs next week so will discuss it again. xxxx

@Fiona i too belong to that ministry hehe xxx

yes it is quite normal but check any meds you are taking for side effects as some meds can make it worse, not all side effects appear quickly, your gp should be able to help with side effects or relaxents if not side effects good luck
