Hi hope you can give me some advice. For the last three weeks I’ve been what I can only describe as having little muscle pops/jumps in my buttocks thighs knees and arms oh and even torso they do it for a period of minutes then stop I only notice them when rest? But they are not always there 
Does anybody else have this ? They are not as big as jerks Thanks Kirsty x x
Hi Kirsty
What you’re describing sounds like fasiculations or for want of a better word twitches. I get them in different areas at the randomest times - some very intense and noticeable so you can see the msucle twicthing others only I can feel. Bum, legs, shoulder, arms oh and tummy are where I’ve had mine. They’re only momentary a few minutes but it’s just a bit annoying I find - specially when it’s intense as it distracts you. At times I might not have any for days than suddenly they’ll be there again.

Hi Reemz is it something that is common with MS. I am not dx and am very nervous about all these new things happening.

Hi Kirsty
They can happen in MS as well as in many other conditions. I’m like you - undiagnosed so I can understand how scary a new symptom can be. But hang in there. I don’t know how far down the diagnostic process you are but I’ve been seen by various neuros for nearly a year and symptoms for year and a half and I can say you do become more at ease with certain things (i.e like now I don’t think too much about the twitches, or vibrations or small patches of numbness too much - it’s more the big things that are worrying), at least in my case anyway. I think knowing the diagnostic process is so long has made me want to try and enjoy when I’m feeling well without over doing it - not to say its not hard when you’re having a bad day. The forum is also great at putting you eat esae - knowing that someone else has experienced what you have does feel better - I know when I got twitches I questioned whether they were really happening as I didn’t understand until someone else said they had them. So it helps to share.
Good luck - hope you’re not finding your twitches too bothersome and are on the road to getting some answers soon.

Thanks Reemz my symp started April lots of sensory complete numbness from head nose to feet all limbs and torso, all at various diff times not altogether thank god.!!! ( not that I am thanking him upstairs much at minute) I also suffered with 6 th nerve palsy when this happened I was admitted to hospital had Lp but clear. Neuro gave steroids things improved. Feel okish at present I have 1 lesion on spine, none on brain. But suffering with l’hermittes a lot not really bad but most days all buzzing/ vibration in mainly legs and a lot of shakes internally. Seeing Neuro again Nov to see where we go from here. I really hope you get some answers it’s awful limbo makes me sick to the stomach some days but keep thinking it could be worse!! Kirsty x x
Hey Kirsty…I’m in a similar position to you and it is so weird trying to go on with your daily routine with all the freaky stuff kicking in and out.
Sometimes I literally jump and squeal liek a pig when I get the electric shock goosebumps but I have asked my husband a few times if I am bussing in bed. It would be funny but I think I scare him a little…but at times I truly think he must be able to feel it.
I just comeon here and chat to others to remind myself that I am not mad and I was sane before this and hope to remain so… lol. You aren’t alone xx
Hi Kirsty- I could totally relate you your description as I got this quite bad last year, mainly when I was in rested or during the night it would wake me up. I have spinal lesions which I think caused it and yes I have MS. One of the many symptoms unfortunately. I was prescribed carbamazepine and it worked well. Weaned myself off after a couple of months and it hasnt come back as bad but I still get them on and off. Hope you get some answers soon. Best wishes Heather
Hi Kirsty,
Im undiagnosed so not sure if my twitches have an ms connection but I can just tell you I have really suffered from this - crazy twitches in different very odd places ranging from arms, legs to even my bum and stomach and back so i know how you feel and that it gets very irritating. They come and go and I have gotten used to them but they are unnerving. Anyway, you are not alone
Best, Caro
ps. oh and I understand about the buzzing / vibration too. I started a post about that recently - here is the link for you if you would like to read what others wrote:
Thank you to every one who has commented you have made me feel better as someone else can relate to how I feel. I am trying to carry on as much as normal, and adapt to all these weird sensations being that I am not dx it’s hard as I’m sure everyone else who’s awaiting dx as you really don’t have any professional to ask advice from. Thank you again Kirsty x x
I get these feelings too, have done for ages.They can get very very annoying, total sympathy there!
