Doctor told me to stop magnesium for now?

I had a previous PCP give me magnesium glycinate because of “rare cramps.” 200 mg every night. I never got blood work done for it though. Another doctor is telling me to stop magnesium supplementation right now as it might be causing my twitching.

I don’t know who’s advice to take. I’m twitching like crazy as we speak, with muscle aches all over my legs. I just hope it can be stopped with stopping magnesium.

I’ve heard time and time again that magnesium treats BFS. Not make it worse.

I have an appointment with a neurologist coming up. Pretty anxious.

Stiff calf

Been dealing with 24/7, relentless twitching all over my body for the past few weeks. My right calf have become significantly stiff. It’s not even perceived at this point. I can feel it when I’m walking, resting, laying, sitting. My twitching seems to be happening from my limbs. Possible onset?

Very scary. I’ve read that this is indicative of ALS. I mean…why only my right calf?
