Does anyone else get this? It started Sunday after a hike. I am completely freaking out that this may be something worse than Lyme. No weakness and I just had a neuro exam last week. Just wondering if it is a common symptom? I am also have muscle twitches elsewhere in my body, but I think because I can see the toe move it is making me more and more upset.

Thanks in advance.

My horribly visible twitch was my corner of my mouth. What was weird was that it was always the exact same place. I never could figure out what caused it. Was it stress, had I just taken my meds, was I tired?

I have literally had every part of my body twitch at one time or another. Face, hands, fingers, arms, legs, foot, leg - well, you get the idea.

This is just the bacteria affecting the nerves that control the muscles, so the muscles get mixed up or wrong signals on what to do. As you heal, this will go away.

Sometimes I can see the muscle twitches. Normally my calf. It is a little freakier when u actually see it.

Had face twitching once like there was aliens crawling in my face. Eyelid twitch on its own.

Don't let it scare you because u can see it.

Its normal for Lyme! For awhile the muscles on the front of my thighs would twitch and then go into a charlie horse. Hurt like heck. But it doesn't happen anymore.

My toes give me fits in a lot of different ways. My big toe is constantlly numb and feels like somehing sharp is poking in the cuticle. And then several toes buzz! Drives me crazy! All kinds of strange things happen with the nerves with Lyme. I wonder if it has to do with the brain transmitting the wrong signals to the nerves. Probably Neurolyme.

I twitched all over... not at first. At first it was in one area...then another...pretty soon, I was twitching in many areas.
At one point, my arm was twitching in one spot...and it was a really weird twitching - It was like it was in slow motion...I could see it...and it would sort of hold in the twitch mode for a couple seconds and sort of 'buzzed' at the same time..before subsiding and starting over again...can't really explain it.

We deserve medals for not going crazy through all this...It is some scary stuff going on in our bodies.

I twitch here and there, a double dose of good magnesium usually helps, I have a regular requirement of magnesium supplementation.

I sometimes have twitching in the chin area or my lower legs. It comes and goes.
