Stress causing twitching

I'm just interested to know if anyone has managed to find a solution to a problem that is really bugging me.

About six months before my DX (in 2013, where my biopsy showed bad damage to my gut, and also my blood test readings were off the scale), I started to get neuro issues.  Tingling extremities, arms and legs, numb hands and arms on waking, and twitching muscles eyelids and face, and arms and legs.  I started to supplement when I knew that gluten was the problem and bit by bit those symptoms went.  

Thing is - as soon as I get stressed about things in my life the twitching  comes back in my face.  It really annoys me. I used to be able to cope with stress - yes, maybe I got a headache, or a nervous stomach, but now if I'm worried about anything those twitches come back to my face.  At the moment have a close relative who is unwell, a big deadline coming up and a twitch above my temple that started last week after a stressful phone call seems to be setting up permanent residence!

I'd love to be able to walk away from my problems  but realistically I can't. Has anyone else had this problem of stress retriggering celiac nerve problems  and managed to find a solution? I'm upping the supplements again (magnesium, B12, fish oil tablets).  The only thing that helps the twitch is when I go for a long walk but I can't walk all day long! Wish I could!

Thanks so much

And a Happy New Year!

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor? Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      @HectorConvector, Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left? Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency. No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      This may seem non-relevant but I thought I'd add it here anyway to see what anyone thinks. Many might dismiss it but that's OK. I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown...

Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
