my left hand has been spasming for the past hour
the pinky will twitch and the index finger twitches...and the palm on the side of the pinky twitches...

it doesnt hurt, infact i've been laughing about it since it started... but now, it's just getting annoying.

does anyone know why the body freaks out like this? and for so long?!

i dunno...i get eye tics sometimes, but i know that's from stress.
googled this, though, hopefully it helps?

let's hope it's stress...

SammiJ said:

if it's still doing that tomorrow, definitely go to a doctor

in Thai culture it's good luck if your left eye twitches but bad if it's the right

don't know about hands twitching though

if they're itchy it's supposed to mean you have some money coming though

evenstar3 said:

for sure
it has calmed down a bit tho *phew*

Fauxie said:

i wish they'd itch! like a whole lot
im broke as a dawg

SammiJ said:

you and me both!

would it be cheating if I tried to get my hand bitten by mosquitoes?

You don't use your left hand with the mouse, do you?

Cuz those are signs of carpal tunnel.

Fauxie said:

i think it would be considered such...

gemini13 said:

no i got a trackpad on my mac and i use my right for that
i am a lefty tho
and i was painting a LOT today...arm's sore n such

I think it's usually due to fatigue or stress.

SammiJ said:

Using it a lot, like EriN just said, causes muscle spasms.

I just said something about the mouse because that has happened to me a few times with my right hand.

gemini13 said:

SammiJ said:

You might need potassium, eat some bananas or something and see if it helps.

Michael J. Fox said this was the first sign of his Parkinson Disease.

SammiJ said:

You overstretched your muscles with the painting... that's all... no worries

Trapped nerve or keeping yor arm/hand in a fixed position (usually flexed) for too long.

SammiJ said:

It use to freak me out so to deal with the stress I ran out and got a hooker, then I flocked her like a Christmas Tree

Who needs doctors when you got the Org?

well I know for sure you weren't bitten by a redback spider

uh, thanks guys...
im fine, got a good night's sleep and i'm good to go now.

ive gotten the eyelid palpatation thing in the past

definatly stress induced

parasites

And everytime it starts twitching and U want someone to see for proof...the second they look, IT STOPS!...it's like DAMNIT!!!!!

I've had the thing with the pulsing eye b4, It was there 4 about a week.

Now since I've stopped smokin' I've had a taste of blood in my mouth. Spitting and coughing have made me no wiser, I never see any blood.

My plan is to wait and see for anothere 2 weeks, then I'll got 2 a doctor, ( or maybe start smokin' again(just kiddin'))

Why?
