I get spramatic red lines on my body. I also constantly get deep "sleep" looking lines on body from lying  down(just short periods of time) or from my jeans sitting on chair.They go away after hr or so but very deep looking from any kind of pressure.. I feel very off also.(STRESS????)Balance and thoughts can seem off also.Can anyone give me a clue
Can stress be extreme? Im hydrated , but haven't slept t good in 6 weeks. any clues leading to MS

Muscle twitches and spasms and anxiety can be symptoms of low magnesium, which may be a symptom of Lyme Disease.
See this list at the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation:

"Red lines on my body"...do you mean like stretch marks?
Compare them to these photos of Bartonella striations:

I hope this will help.

Hi and welcome,

Sorry i don't know what it could be, doesn't really sound like MS and i'm not sure stress alone would be an answer either, but if you've not been sleeping over the last 6 weeks, that would definitely affect cognitive and balance hmmm have you considered things like medications, vitamin deficientcy etc?

Sorry to not be of much help.......JJ
