I have constant muscle twitches..facial and body. No lesions on m.r.i..no vitamin deficiencies. What is up?

Question

I have had extensive bloodwork, and two M.r.i. scans. I am not taking any medications and have plenty of potassium in my diet. Could my doctor be missing something?

P.s. I do not drink coffee or caffienated beverages

Answer 1

well you might want to check on the amount of consumption of caffeine (coke or coffee)
I wrote the above, before I read the "I dont drink caffeine beverages"
How about any medication that have estrogen or are diuretics?
it can also be stress or ur current way of exercising

I dont think you should worry too much about having Multiple Sclerosis, they would've found the start of plaques and lesions in your brain
you wouldve also started to slur your speech and have bladder problems
ur MRI came out fine, I dont think MS is it

Answer 2

In a strange way the "Loss of Sense of Humour" can be caused by lack of strong sunlight in the eyes. Serotonin levels can be elevated by increased exposure to light, according to Greg Danzig, president of lonair Co. "Light and antidepressants like Prozac help. But researchers say negative ions may also increase brain levels of serotonin." It usually happens during the winter. A less common type of SAD ("Seasonal Affective Disorder" Also called: Seasonal depression, Seasonal mood disorder) happens in the summer. Food for the mood is the rule, eat more fruits and vegetables and less fat and sweets to stabilize moodiness, according to Delicious On-line, an Internet magazine. Magnesium, vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and folic acid are additives you may also want to consider . Excessive intake of alcohol, caffeine and nicotine and added stress, are also discouraged if you are affected by the wintertime depression. Daily walks or exercise routines are encouraged. This is but one of several reasons... Did you know that the U.S.D.A.'s "Recommended Dietary Allowance" for vitamins and minerals was to keep you from getting Scurvy and had nothing to do with maintaining good health? Did you know that you cannot survive on processed foods without a multi-vitamin these days as the soil is so depleated. Did you know that if the vitamins are not water soluible the body cannot use them, and most are not? ME! Mahatma Gamdhi as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) ... a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. .
