I have experienced the worst of muscle twitches in my calves of my legs the summer before last. You could literally see the muscles "rolling." It was scary, I was in a bout of extreme anxiety in which would not let up. A doctor and nurse practitioner I saw chalked it up to depression and anxiety..but with it came aches and pains. It was so scary, and to have medical professionals look at you like you are nuts and treat you as such was so demeaning. About a year after they began, they let up a bit but still occured several times a day. During that time I changed physicians and he checked my vitamin levels and other labs. Turned out, I was severely Vitamin D deficient...where the bare minimum is to be 30, I was at an 11. I began taking a daily Vitamin D capsule, and within a few weeks, the twitching settled down alot, sleep evened out, and so did my mood!
