when and how did it go away.
I'm on 500 mgs of aztih , for about 3 weeks now
I called nurse at LLMD's office and told he rmy twitching has gotten worse since taking the azith. It use to be every 3rd night, now it's every or eery other...
She said, oh you're herding drop down to 250 mgs, i did, it's not been that long, 3 days, but so far i've gotten no relief...
I do take loads of mag glyciante and to be honest i don't really feel it to help!
I take epsom salt baths from time to time and bentoninte clay baths, i also take charcoal or bentonite clay during the middle of the night.
If you were like me and had these awful twthices , that kept you up at night , and the only thing to stop them is to take clonaz or something of the like... how did you get them to go away. I"m losing faith :(
also, just started a parasite cleanse this weekend!!!!

My twitching and tremors have mostly resolved. I had serious body twitching but my eyelid was super intense, non stop twitching 24/7. Started in Dec. and the eye just stopped about two weeks ago.

I did ABX for two months and couldn't handle them so now I'm on AL complex and silver. I take liquid B12 for nerve health and a special magnesium which I got from an herbalist.

Klonopin, took one pill for the tremors and got deathly ill. I can't do benzodiazepines. I don't think you don't need klonopin to get rid of them.

It might actually be another deficiency besides magnesium. When I had twitching I upped my mag and it didn't do anything so I called my dr and she put me on phyto-cal mag - which has a bunch of trace elements, manganese, magnesium, calcium. I didn't need much. 4 pills/day but the DV was pretty low.

It is also possible that you might be herxing and there are bugs near your nerves that are causing irritation and twitching. I would say up the detoxing and perhaps google nerve soothers and what deficiencies cause twitching (aside from the most obvious magnesium - cuz that isn't always it!)

Don't lose faith - hang in there!

thanks guys!!! someone on another board gave me a nerve soother and i've forgotten, i will have to go back and ask her... my hubs told me not to get it as he said the dr didn't tell me to do it... but my hubs isn't living in my body!
It's hard for me to detox more than once a day , which is in middle of night becuz of all the sups, sometimes i can fit a 2pm'er in... but even that is HARD :(
yeah, at this point i don't think it's the mag, as i take the same amount of mag every day and i astill get twitching every night or every other, before abc it was every third night, usually.
I was using silver, too but LLMD said that becuz i have mthfr and my body doesn't detox WELL that it might not be detoxing the silver, so i stopped. Hmmmm...
A friend made me some, would you trust what someone made??? she has been making and using it for years, it's actually a friend of a friend! apparently she made me a huge bottle of it...
OPU--- i was twitching before i started abx, that is what made me test for lyme, the horrible twitching.
I hate saying this but i have so little faith this symptom will ever go away :(

I started twitching last September, then came tremors in October...
This was before I even suspected Lyme disease.

They just seemed to subside on their own over time.
By January, they were at least 50% better, and now I just get the odd one now and then

Tried Magnesium - didn't seem to help.

I did stop working in November...and haven't been back since...and have been taking adrenal support, and trying to get my rest...maybe that helped with the twitching.

When mine was at it's worse, it was every day pretty much all day...and several areas at once...and very strong twitches...
It was horrid...I was lucky, though, I could fall asleep with them...and then they'd stop.

When the tremors came...I thought i was going to lose my mind...I was googling Parkinson's disease, MS...etc. I really thought I was going to be leaving this world.

I'm still here, but every now and again, i feel like I've got something terminal...like cancer...or ALS, but they just haven't diagnosed it yet...so although Lyme is not a diagnosis i should want...it is what I would choose over the others...

Girlie--
what kinda of adrenal support were you using?
Posted 6/2/2014 7:30 PM (GMT -5)
I was taking a supplement that contained: Ashwaganda, Siberian ginseng, and Rhodiola.
Now I'm taking one that has Cordyceps and Rhodiola.

Also good for adrenals: Vitamin C, B complex vitamins, Omega 3's,

Probably a skewed elemental ratio causing too much acetylcholine. High aluminum levels often causes this. I am taking Pectasol-C and cannot say enough about how good it has done me. My Dad is taking it also (he has stage 3B lung cancer) and has had the same positive results. It simply binds and eliminates metals. IMO, most, if not all, of the people on this board have a metal problem. I didn't think I did until I started getting positive results from the Pectasol.

Girlie mentioned about the adrenal support and think she is right on track with that. My adrenals must have been shot but they're coming back and so is the sleep. Let me put it this way, if I were a physician, I would put everyone I could on Pectasol-C. After a little time, I'd have a very good idea on who it would help and who it wouldn't. I'd then dispense it appropriately. My thoughts right now are is it would help most people.

I had twitching on my eyelid and under my eye and that is one
symptom that is almost gone, along with headaches, and stiff
neck. So my long list is lessening, with 3 mos of abx there is
some progress. And it will come for you too!
