twitching in hand

[Olive]

ive been having twitches mainly in my little finger, index finger and thumb for quiet a few months now, mainly at night either in bed or on the computer (i think because im not doing anything) i asked the dr the other day and shes sending me for bloodtest for potassium and calcium, liver function and a few other things, should i be worried??? ive googled and shouldnt have anyone else had hand twitching???

Hi hun, yes, I've had some weird twitching in my fingers over the last few months, but I'm too scared to see my doc, I've convinced myself it's early stages of the parkinson disease. I usually self diagnose myself, and then worry myself silly without getting professianal opinion I'm pretty sure it's nothing to worry about....

It might be something to do with your computer, ie typing every day. I work in the office and I'm typing a lot of the time, so maybe it's the strain from that???????

im glad im not the only one then!! dr also suggested maybe getting some nerve studies done, will see if the bloodtest reveil anything

GL sweetie, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about! I also thought I was the only one with those twitches as my friend was telling me it's all in my head lol. After all, I do come up with a new medical condition every other week, so she just ignores me most of the time ha ha

i was thinking it was all in my head initially as well but soon realised it wasnt! i'll let you know how i go, will be a week or so as im on ab's so cant have the bloodtest done yet

Cool, keep me posted hun! I haven't had it for a few weeks, but every time I get it I show it to my DF and of course he can't see it twitching (but I can feel it) so he says it's a cramp. Men, they have an explanation for everything !
