I suspect i might have Multiple Schlorosis in its very early stages. Among other minor symptoms the most telling is my tendency to get muscle twitches that are rhythemic in very odd muscle groups. When this happens it sticks to a particular muscle group in a reptative way for weeks or months.

Here is a video of my chin twitching as an example.

@icedquinn i have always had potassium and magnesium problems. Thry are well supplemented though there may be an underlying issue.

Keep in mind though twitching a d cramps are very different.

@freemo IIRC MS is a lot more common in women than men, and your first action should probably be seeing a neurologist. They'll order an MRI with and without contrast, which will show any areas of the brain with white matter problems. At this point there are a LOT of treatments available for Relapsing Remitting MS (the most common start) that are very effective at slowing or stopping disease progression. It's very different from 30 years ago when treatment was "here are steroids during your flare up" or even 20 years ago when it was the 'ABCs' (Asomething, Betaseron, Copaxone) where the first two were basically the same thing but different dosing regimens.

Basically with proper and early treatment these days MS can have less impact on your life than high blood pressure.

My low t actually makes sense given the MS suspicion. My aunt has it so it seems like a fair bet. Ill have to get an mri yea.
