I used to have isolated muscle twitching, that would stop and start. Now I have full body shaking. It isn't visible but I feel it and its similar to shaking with fear. I tried taking magnesium, which helped at first, but now I have to take more and more to calm the shaking down.

I've already been diagnosed with ALS and lyme, do I have to add Parkinson's to my list?
 
The chances of having all 3 would be astronomical. Have you started new meds or changed anything?

AL.
 
I have major shaking in my legs, but after I've taken morphine, atavan or zanaz and valium, I shake all over and have diarrhea. It's horrible. But on my usual pain meds my legs still shake if they're not solidly on the ground. If they're not supported by something, heel to toe, they'll shake. It's really annoying and I can't stop it. Sorry to be so unhelpful! Hospice is clueless.

Good luck,
Carol
 
sounds like clonus. a stretching of a extremely brisk reflex.
