Hello. Firstly I want to sincerely thank anybody who takes the time to read this post. What you do here is amazing and people like me can never thank you enough. Thank you, truly.
My name is John. 48 yrs of age. I've ongoing problems with my cervical spine and shoulder blade pain.
Four weeks ago I attended a chiropractor. The next day I felt very anxious and shaky, and felt a weird vibration feeling going through my body at night when I lay. I also began to have sudden body jolts at night and muscle fasciculations. The twitching is in my eyes, ears, legs, arms, chest, feet, neck, pretty much everywhere. The sudden body jolting has subsided and usually only happens now when I'm falling asleep. But the twitching remains, most noticeable when I'm laying and right now it's moving around my body. I went to the Dr and he tested my reflexes and muscle strength saying they are fine. The chiropractor did similar tests and got me to walk on my toes, push against him etc, everything was ok. I walk about 5km twice a day and other than the fasciculations, I feel ok. The Dr has arranged for a brain MRI and said his gut feeling is its nothing to worry about but I'm worried. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I've also been under a lot of stress this past couple of years. My partner has been diagnosed with advanced cancer. My mum was also diagnosed with cancer and Alzheimer's, so I'm now the primary caregiver. I picked up covid in early 2020 which floored me for about 6 week's, I was lucky to get through it, and I developed severe Tinnitus shorty afterwards. In the weeks leading up to when the muscle twitching started I had been getting little or no sleep, averaging about three hours a night, because of the shoulder pain. Ive had bloods done and they were all clear although my Dr wants to check me for calcium and magnesium. I'm very stressed and very anxious, fearing the worst. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
