Thanks for using the forum. I am happy to address your questions, and my answer will be based on the information you provided here. Please make sure you recognize that this forum is for educational purposes only, and it does not substitute for a formal office visit with your doctor.
Without the ability to examine you and obtain a history, I can not tell you what the exact cause of your symptoms is. However I will try to provide you with some useful information.
I am not sure based on the description above as to whether or not your twitching is myoclonus or otherwise. Myoclonus typically is not painful, and is not usually described as spasms. Myoclonus are rapid irregular, non-rhythmic jerks. Spasms is a word used to describe clonus, which is different from myoclonus, and describes repetitive rhythmic contractions of a muscle usually when the muscle is stretched. The two are very different and have different causes. In general, muscle twitching can have many causes, as you mention, thyroid, medications (including prozac), and stress (such as in benign fasiculation syndrome which is a syndrome of small rapid twitches all over the body that are painless and benign and occur with stress, caffeine intake, and exercise).
It sounds like you are planned for an EMG/NCS, which will assess how some of your nerves conduct electricity and how the muscles respond. If you have not yet been evaluated by a neurologist this would be of benefit to you, with follow-up with your primary doctor regarding your thyroid problems and management of your anti-depressant.
Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions, I hope you find the information I have provided useful, good luck.
Thank you for your infomation. I have been kind of mixed up as to the things the doctors have told me so far. As you explained...I have the twitched...but I also have the very painful stuff too! Had brain MRI and Back MRI...brain seemed to be ok...neurologist said..arthritis in the back...with some swelling that has caused some of the lower problems.....had the nerve condution study on the lower extremeties...was told I have neuropathy...but still no full explanation. I have been given...Gabapentin 300 mg at bedtime. Has helped a lot, along with I have cut doses on Prozac and Levathryoxine...cut back on carbs and sweets...had a test done with over all sugar for the last 3 months...normal...and the cholesterol was 198...not the greatest but not real back either...I am just at a loss of what to do next...Dr plans another test...to check for dizzness and vertigo ect...I did have a tick on my back last year...was dried up when I discoverd it...but that site was well irritated...for some time and I had a slight flare up of the same area recently...could Lyme disease cause any of these symptoms?? I am tired a lot...but have these shock like pains along with the twitches...but as I have said the twitches are some better now...Thank you for you help. June
