The causes of muscle twitching can be varied ranging from dietary deficiency of magnesium, dehydration, fatigue, lower motor neuron lesion, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, lyme disease, myasthenia gravis, fibromyalgia, stimulants like caffeine, side effect to drugs like diuretics, steroids, and anticholinergics.

It could just be a magnesium deficiency. Most of us do not eat enough foods containing magnesium (kale for example) and most of us have a lack of magnesium. Magnesium gycinate is supposed to be the best and easiest absorbed type as there are many magnesium supplements on the market.

Unfortunately, I understand your pain. It's really tough when you hurt so badly, and still have to function. You never know how much you use your arm, until you just want to let it be still.
Has anyone had success with D-Ribose? I am confused about its role in helping fibromyalgia particularly because it is classified as a type of sugar. I thought sugar was bad for fibromyalgia because it promotes inflammation or is this type of sugar not considered to have an inflammatory effect?
Unexplained pains, sometimes the bones paining and sometimes the muscles can be due to a problem called ‘fibromyalgia’. This is associated with fatigue and a heightened and painful response to gentle touch (allodynia). Other symptoms include needle-like tingling of the skin, nerve pain, muscle aches and spasms, weakness in the limbs, functional bowel disturbances, and chronic sleep disturbances.
In the later stages of adrenal insufficiency, elevated magnesium levels can develop. Magnesium deficiency is a cause of fibromyalgia pain and seizures. Some studies suggest that magnesium deficiency may not be a result of the mitral valve prolapse but actually due to magnesium deficiency.
Studies now indicate that magnesium is particularly important for those with fibromyalgia as its inhibits nerve receptors linked to the trigger point pain and regulates the release of neurohormones.”
