caffeine

Hi Everyone, I have been having eye twitches in my left eye. I thought it was maybe due to a medicine it was on. I have been off of it now for over a month and my eye still is twitching. The other medicines I'm on for depression I have been taking off/on for years. So, I...

To everyone that is fighting any disease or sickness, I will let you know that you are constantly in my prayers. I hate to waste anyone's time here, so I'll make this is short as possible. I have been having constant worry and anxiety over thinking I have something wrong with me. Back in high...

... and I know you have all got your own stuff to be getting on with but I just wanted to say thanks at the outset for taking the time to read my question. I've had problems with my legs for about a year. It started with pain inside them, cramping pain, LOADS of charley horses at night, then...

I don't know how many of you take tizanidine for muscle spasms, but I discovered an interesting fact. I cross checked this with my pharmacist to be sure. Tizanidine has in it a reaction with caffeine that releases a great deal of the drug at once particularly in tablet form. It explained to me...

Okay, my legs (they alternate, not at the same time) contract over and over for hours. From hip to ankle all the muscles in the leg contract and tighten for 3-8 seconds, then relax, and 10-15 seconds later it does it again. I'm going crazy with this! It is not a cramp (I get those off and on...

I read the stickies and understand my chances of having ALS at 30 is extremely rare. However since last week I noticed a constant localized twitching at the Brachioradialis area. I suffer from anxiety and OCD, so the first twitch was noticed immediately. It's been going on off and on all day for...

I was reading some posts on PALS experience with caffeine and it seems for the most part, no one has experienced any negative effects. I haven't been drinking coffee (or other caffeine) regularly for at least 6 months now and every time I have any (I miss it, a lot) even a few ounces, I have...

Full disclosure: Before tonight, I'd not even heard of ALS. I described these symptoms elsewhere, and someone said "I had (some of) those, and now I have ALS." I'm sure there's a more simple explanation, but I'd like to get this out there before I even have a chance to worry about it. Especially...

Phew - where to begin? I am 38 years old. Never really sowed my wild oats. Moved to an extremely social city, and had some fun for awhile. Just one or two nights a week on weekends. Got involved in Adderall (only 5mg extended release) with heavy drinking one night a week. For about 24...

I've read some reputable online literature about ALS and most of this section of the ALS forum and still can't find a definitive answer to my concern. I'm hoping you'll take a moment to set me straight or point me to a good resource. I've had an intermittent twitch under my left eye since March...
