Hi...PlateletGal is right!....I would also suggest that calcium levels be checked also.

Even thyroid levels if not check recently.

Low levels of minerals and vitamins can cause all kinds of twitching and cramps.

Good luck

Hi ! Your sister should see her PCP. It could be something as simple as a magnesium deficiency. She should also ask her PCP to check her vitamin B levels.
