    so I've got this twitching. Sometimes in my arm, sometimes my leg, my calf, but recently its been to the right (my right) of my abdomen at the bottom of my rib cage and it kinda freaks me out.

    So where do these twitches come from?

    Parkinsons is in the joints, isnt it? This isnt joints, its just like the muscle has a small spasm.

    I used to get those. Lay off the class A's man.

    Just kidding, I don't think you need to worry about them, I asked a doctor once and he didn't seem to think it was important. I'll find out later, my dads a doc.

    they usually just mean you're tired.
    if they continue, ask a doc or ask me to ask my gf.

    A lot of times this twitching can be due to a lack of calcium in your muscles. Drink some milk!

    I'm actually a doctor, and its not good news I'm afraid.

    This sounds like a very rare condition (insert some long Latin sounding name here), it's actually a sexually transmited disease passed on from sheep.
    I'm sorry to tell you that your wang will turn blue then blow up to 5 times its normal size (not in length, sorry)
    The only cure is to have the wang aputated, quick.

    In other words I have no idea whats wrong, I've had something similar, but as soon as I don't think about it it goes away.

    If you have been taking class A's that actually may be the cause. Other than that, don't know.

    .. what are class As?

    And as a lover of cheese and milk, I don't think it would be a lack of calcium.

    I've had them for a while now, the abdominal ones just recently though.

    Slang term for Hardcore drugs.

    I get twitches ocasionally - Either eyelid, upper arm muscle or leg. Usually go away. Though I've never seen a doctor about it.

    My heart also decides to miss a beat every couple of months, quite bizarre feeling that. Doctor wasnt too bothered about that though....

    @shroom: Are they all on the same side of your body (i.e. the right)?

    @ carian.mooney: the occasional skipped heart beat once every few months is not unusual --as long as the interval doesn't last so long that it causes you to faint, of course.

    I've also gotten them on the right side of my neck too.

    Its probably just muscle spasms caused by something as innocuous as having too much salt or whatever. That's not to say too much salt is a good thing.

    Ciaran - The eyelid one is the worst LOL :eek:

    I get the eyelid twitch after taking stimulants.

    It's bad.
