MDJunction to me

Claire138"It's been a year since I joined the Parkinson's Disease Support Group on MDJunction and all I can say is thank you all for the support, compassion and friendship I've received and been able to give as well. It was a lonely night when I came upon this site, but the nights aren't that lonely anymore...
With gratitude to all...

I thought I was progressing well with my treatment(u can read my story in the Intros section)but this morning I woke up with a right cheek twitch that won't go away.

On the other hand, my neck pain seems to have vanished for the last two days. Even the creaking noises seem to have subsided. I am on Biaxin, Ceftin, Mepron and a host of supplements including 500 mg Magnesium.

Is this a normal thing to happen? I used to have leg twitches and they went away with time. I much prefer those to the face!!

It is such a downer to have things creeping on you when you think you've made some progress.

sometimes these things come and go in cycles. I suffer with the twitching eye and nose and lips..The lips is terrible because it will twitch seperately for each side upper and lower and sometimes contract like I'm puckering up for a kiss...

I have restless legs too and thats something else to contend with but the twitching comes and goes and I think it is cyclical...So it could be that you are making progress but maybe this is just on it's cycle for you with twitching.

I hope you get some relief! I also get numbness that comes and goes where the twitching usually shows up at different times. Burning and itching etc...are all things that go along with it for me.

Hang in there! I have had the same thing happen...I had the same symptoms, they got better and then BAM! There they were again!

If I remember correctly, I think it only lasted 4-5 days and then went away again...

It will get better! Don't get down!!

yes when i get them its only for 3 days or so ....wait it out and see if it gets better in a few days. Now if it does not get better then I would seek treatment or evaluation from llmd.
