The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I’ve been dealing with on-and-off twitches and body cramps for the past couple years—went to a bunch neuros, eventually got diagnosed with cramp fascilation syndrome after scans, EMGs, etc.
…it’s largely calmed down since 1-2 years ago, but it sometimes really ramps up (right now my hands are cramping, knees hurt, and I have some twitching in my legs).
An acquaintance in med school mentioned I should get checked out for metabolic disorders, but I have no idea where I’d even start. I have some feeling that there’s a food sensitivity component that I can’t quite nail down [stomach discomfort tends to occur with the rest of the symptoms].
Any avenues anyone recommends I explore?
I’d try increasing magnesium and potassium intake just to be sure
