How long did it take for your twitching to go away completely?
Hooray for you!

I had one intermittent twitch in one foot that started several years ago near a hot spot that began several years ago. It wasn’t all that bothersome. Then, in November 2023. I developed body wide twitches all over. They were intense and surfaced mainly when at rest. After my tests at the neurologist ruled out MS, ALS and PD, I was relieved. A couple of weeks later, they stopped. I haven’t had any in several months. I don’t even have that one in my foot anymore. The hot spot is almost completely gone too. I only feel a little heat there occasionally. But, barely there. And, the numbness that I had in my feet is gradually subsiding.

I have no explanation. I will say that I have been working out 5-6 days a week, eating a nutritious diet, seeing a therapist and improving my blood sugar management. (type I diabetes)
