Muscle Twitching

I had this before treatment, but now I have it daily in many different places in my body for the past month.  Does anyone know why this happens?  I of course am researching and finding things like Lou Gehrig's disease and freaking myself out!

I haven't had any muscle twitching, but there are a lot of weird symptoms crop up while on these herbal cleanses.  I wouldn't worry too much about it right now unless it gets a lot worse.

I get weird muscle twitches all over my body too.   I would especially get them in my upper leg area, buttocks after I would walk.  ( when my bladder used to let me walk!)I wouldnt worry about it.  Dont think me AND you would have Lou Gehrigs!xoxoxoxBecky

Yup. Welcome to the werid random ripley's beleive it or not die off extravagansa.  REEEEALLY common symptom. I have had eye twitching and buttock twitching which I find kind of hilarious. I have had it go on for a long time. You do not have lou gerig's disease! . I have found that IC symptoms can turn you into a hypochondriac and I have finally in the last year stopped researching online worst case scenarios ( your mind always wants to think the worst right? because I end up scaring myself unnecessarily). The internet is GREAT for answering burnign questions but also REALLY good at making you TOTALLy paranoid. LOL!  NEARLY every symptom I get is die off related. If I'm ever in doubt I ask Matia in our sessions/emails if its freaking me out and hurting me. but I gauarentee if its werid- its die off. The pathogens and yeast are ALL over out body affecting nearly every single system in our bodies hence the wide variety of "random" and werid symptoms it can produce. I am always amazed at the creative and endless variations this condition can produce in the body and the fact that I can forget what is going on sometimes. It challenges and baffles our conditioning about health too. but that is what is going on and truly its a mild but annoying symptom. I once had a muscle SUPER PAINFUL spasm in my foot- in a gall bladder acupuncture point( I looked it up!) it was so bad I couldn't walk on my foot! This too passed but it was one of the weridest and most acute die off symptoms up until that point! Keep notes about where the muscle twitching happened and all that. Thanks! Mary

This is something that I had really badly all over my body and to the point that it would keep me awake.  I was also really concerned that I had some terrible disease.  I went to a couple neurologists, was tested for MS etc... also thought I had Lou Gerigs.  Had Ct and MRI.  I have been in treatment for over a 1.5 years and this has gotten so much better.  I still have some of it but not that it worries me or keeps me up anymore.  I don't know why I had it but it is getting better and I am still alive so not worried anymore.  Don't know if it is die off or just another symptom of this crazy condition.  I wouldn't worry about it because I probably did enough for both of us when this started for me lol.........  I am okay and you will be too.

HAH!  Hilarious.
Yes, if it's weird, random, annoying, sudden or all of the above, it's die-off.
The good news is it can ultimately help your hypochondriac tendencies... At a certain point for me, after months of so many strange sensations happening and hearing (& trusting) Matia say again and again "it's just die-off," it was kinda ridiculous and obvious that it was die-off as opposed to the high unlikelihood of me concurrently having Lou Gehrig's disease, brain cancer, multiple sclerosis, lymphoma and Parkinson's, along with IC of course.  Now when I feel anything, out of the ordinary as it may be, I don't even sweat it.  I realize it's another die-off manifestation and I even get a little excited b/c I've gotten a palpable sign that cleansing is going on in there.
