Twitching, tightness, tremor

Two people with muscle twitching and similar symptoms said things eased after they stopped masturbating: one felt huge relief after having feared it was ALS, and another said odd symptoms that appeared during a reboot gradually faded.

Two people said vitamin D helped: one took 10,000 IU along with a better diet and said they were close to 100% better; another said they used to get muscle cramps every night when lying down to sleep, but not anymore. One also paired it with vitamin K2. 10,000 IU is a high dose — personal reports only, check with a doctor before taking it.

One person said ibuprofen helps more with the physical side of an episode, such as tension, a stiff neck and a runny nose. No dose was given. Personal report only — talk to a doctor before using medication.

One person dealing with muscle tension said rubbing magnesium oil onto the tight areas helped. They gave no amounts or how often, so the detail is thin.

One person said restless legs show up whenever they eat junk food and go away after several days without it.

One person noticed their tremor changed with meals: none before breakfast, slight after breakfast and worse in the evening. This is a personal observation, with no explanation given.

One person said that with a better diet plus vitamin D at 10,000 IU they are close to 100% better. The diet meant more vegetables, salads and healthy fats and less sugar and white flour. The diet and vitamin D were used together, so their separate effects cannot be told apart; check with a doctor before taking high-dose vitamin D.

One person said that during a 14-day streak, tremors did not appear on the first day after ejaculation but came back on the second. They noticed this when not ejaculating again for a day after an episode; it is a personal observation only.

One person said a high-dose multivitamin called Ortho-Molecular, taken daily, was the only thing that got rid of their brain fog and muscle twitching. They didn't give the exact dose. Personal report only — check with a doctor before taking supplements.

One person said that when symptoms hit, getting up and doing something to get their blood flowing made them drop dramatically. They did not say which symptoms, or how long or how hard they moved.

One person said the shocks tend to go away and muscle stiffness eases when they use THC/CBD gummies, which they took before sleep hoping to relax their muscles and sleep better. Personal report only — talk to a doctor before using cannabis products.

One person with muscle twitching said that after cutting back on all stimulation and spending time in the forest every day for three days straight, they felt about 25% better — but no more than that, and life was still rough.

One person used a warm bath after a bout of tremors and reported it helped, with no further detail.

One person drank 4 bottles of Gefilus probiotic yogurt drink at once and said that within minutes they felt a surge of focus, energy and motivation, less of a flat, joyless feeling, more vivid music, and the odd abs and diaphragm tightness went away — still lasting when they posted. Personal report only — talk to a doctor before taking supplements.

One person said that with THC/CBD gummies the shock-like jolts tend to go away and the muscle stiffness eases. They took them before sleep to relax and sleep better, without giving an exact dose.

One person said that getting a full erection through erotic thoughts alone, with no physical stimulation and no pictures or videos, gets rid of many of their symptoms, especially muscle tension. Only this one person reported it.
