[I thought I would repost this here after a member suggested it]

I don't know where to start

I'll name off what I know is wrong then I'll say what's bothering me now

here it goes:

tmj
thoracic scoliosis
SI joint problems (one leg appears longer than the other)
sleep apnea (CPAP)
bad spasms in my neck and shoulder (right side mostly)
low hormone levels (of which I take testosterone injections)

Lately, I've been having body-wide spasms/twitches (separate muscles at separate times)

nearly every muscle but my tongue, feet, and hands (no tremors)

they seem to fluctuate they can range from mild (feels like blood vessels pumping in and out) to large (big muscle fluctuations)

this all started about 2 years ago for no apparent reason

and it seems like more muscles are involved everyday, it started as a few every now and then, but now they're more often

they seem to get worse with stress and anxiety

any suggestions on what it might be or what kind of doctor I should see next?

I'm a 30 year old male, I've taken MRIs of the head, neck, and jaw. I've had my thyroid checked, lumbar puncture, and numerous other exams all inconclusive. The neurologist gave me a diagnosis of fibromyalgia at one point.

I would do a lot of reading on this forum. I would start with the B vitamins, a good multi-vitamin, and fish oil. And of course eat a great diet.

I and some others believe after much reading and experience that some nutrient deficiencies can either cause or masquerade as things such as that.

Anyway, whether or not nutrient deficiency is the cause, your body will appreciate the help.
