Ever since TM hit I have had episodes of twitching. I have had them effect my tongue, my butt cheek, face, arm, just about anywhere. It will seem to choose a spot and stay there a bit. Then months and sometimes months will go by without any significant twitching. I have no idea what triggers it. When TM first hit me I had a friend who was dying from ALS. When I started the twitching I was terrified that I also had ALS. There are worse things than TM and I feel that ALS is one of them. Horrible disease. I think these twitches that we have are categorized as Benign Fasiculations. Not sure if they are connected to TM or MS. I will have to research that again. Laura
