Is there a chipmunk in my muscles?!

I've been wanting to ask this question to people, and I always forget everything now, but I remembered!!!

Does anyone else have localized feelings in their muscles like a hamster or animal of some sort is burrowing in? I spoke to a woman diagnosed with fibromyalgia about this because my GP told me that sensation is my mind's perception of sensation relating to fibromyalgia......except when I can literally see it happening if it's intense enough. The woman doesn't get that at all. I was just wondering if anyone else got this?

It happens all of a sudden like my muscles are tweaking out, but it's localized and it travels day to day. Saturday it was in my left knee, Sunday my right thigh muscle, yesterday my left bicep. I'm not sure if it correlates or not, but my fibro pain is always super intense after these weird things, but only in that area.

I still get the bruising sensation on my skin randomly, but I always notice that after the burrowing sensations the pain is way more intense and severe. I also notice that afterwards my muscles in that particular area are tighter feeling and don't actually cramp like when my foot cramps and curls, but they spasm, my movements become extremely jerky, and my muscles are weak (but all over).

This happened to me on Sunday and I almost fell down when I stood up off the couch to grab my phone 5 feet away. I laid back down on the couch and proceeded to twitch all over and just let the tears roll down my cheeks, as I waited for it to pass.

Please tell me someone else knows what is happening, it scares my husband so much I don't even tell him it's happened until it's over.

I feel ya on the Shakira!!! I went for a walk yesterday and experienced it in both thighs at once for the first time, I proceeded with an epsom salt detox bath, with a dry skin rub first.

It's becoming more widespread and frequent than before, and having it happen in the butt is really weird.

At first it was only in my biceps and thighs, but now it's migrating everywhere, from my feet to knees, thighs, butt, back, biceps, forearms, toes and fingers!!!!

Do you get the all over spasms after this happens?? My entire body on one side will just randomly start jerking and it lasted for about a half hour, I think, on Sunday. The localized burrowing sucks, but then when one side of my body starts jerking or rocking is what really overwhelms me.

I think you are describing fasciculations?

Give magnesium a try...it has worked for many. Unfortunately, it didn't help with my twitches.

What is efa? I'm still new to all the lingo!!!

Thanks Girlie!!

I tried taking a magnesium supplement, but after about a week of taking I was so tired all the time I would just fall asleep sitting up so I stopped taking it orally. I do Epsom baths, I think that absorbs magnesium too?

My nutritionist was surprised I wasn't muscle testing for the magnesium, and when I told her about the baths she said that wold explain the lack (?) of my muscles testing for it.
