Questions about twitching.

I am a 20 year old girl and got diagnosed with MS January 2024. Lately I've been feeling my hands and feet twitch sometimes. Even other people have begun to notice. I don't know anything about how the twitching relates to MS. I just had an MRI and there's no new lesions but I have no idea if only new inflammations can cause twitching or if it can randomly happen...I would be so grateful for some answers on this. I'm kinda scared.

  1. ,
    We appreciate you reaching out.
    Understandably there are countless questions that come with a recent diagnosis.
    Twitching, tremors, or uncontrollable shaking, can be rather common symptoms of MS and may occur in various parts of the body.

    Hopefully others will chime in here with their personal experiences.
    In addition, we always recommend bringing any new or changing symptoms to your healthcare provider's attention.

    1. thank you for this, I read the post in the link you sent me. I still don't really know if this only happens with an active inflammation or also with no active inflammations. But thank you so much for the rest!
