twitching

[Angie10116]

hi, can upping a dose cause twitching?

I increased mine 5 weeks ago and this week I’ve had so much twitching in my 4 small toes. Strange, I know. They’re moving involuntarily, every second!

I’ve also got muscle aches, weakness and tiny bit of numbness in arms and legs. I know thyroid can cause this but it’s been 5 weeks so I’m starting to think otherwise.

what vitamin supplements are you taking

Low magnesium can cause muscle twitching

[Angie10116 in reply to SlowDragon]

Taking vitamin d3 +k, b complex, and a few prebiotics. I checked magnesium a few months ago and it was okay.

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Angie10116]

If taking vitamin D, it’s recommended we always supplement magnesium

Magnesium blood test is highly unreliable

Web links about taking important cofactors - magnesium and Vit K2-MK7

Magnesium best taken in the afternoon or evening, but must be four hours away from levothyroxine

I had this and it was due to my FT4 being way too high.

Magnesium didn’t do anything for it either.

[Angie10116 in reply to GreenTealSeal]

did you also have the switching?

[GreenTealSeal in reply to Angie10116]

Yeah I had near constant muscle twitching in my fingers, thighs, arms and back and it gave me involuntary movements. My Ft4 was over range.

Thank you for your comment! Big reassurance 😁 hopefully your is gone now!

I get toes cramping and moving/twisting when B12 is low .
