Fasciculations

Hey, I was wondering how many of you experience muscle twitching in your thumbs? My left thumb is absolutely relentless lately...Additionally, how many of you experience an uptick in twitching if you put pressure on that particular area?

Thanks ya'all

I have had twitching of my thumbs (not at the same time) and then it will move to another finger. These twitches can last up to 2 - 3 weeks before they quit.

Not in my thumbs specifically but in my hands jerk & twitch. A particularly bad place for me are my feet. They need to put you on a muscle relaxer.

I was diagnosed with essential tremor about three years ago. Totaly separate from fibro. It gets worse when I do anything, from type to talk, to walk. Stress, excitement, etc makes the shaking worse. I dont know if this is a spin off from fibro. Are there others who have had these changes as well ? Just wondering. I was offered medication to help the shakes from getting bad but I have declined for now. Unless it really interferes with my life I dont need more meds. Dont accept everything as fibro, its good to check
