So let’s make some statistics! Hopefully many members visit this subforum and not only the ones with muscle twitching come here. I’m pretty sure not everyone has it.
What is muscle twitching? Unintentional short contractions of small muscles all around the body’s otherwise relaxed musculature. An example: youtube.com/watch?v=VQ57g1D5CJQ
It’s also called bening fasciculation syndrome: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_fas … n_syndrome
Are you having muscle twitching after taking finasteride? Or did you also have it before? Or you’re lucky and you don’t have it at all? We need the answer as the condition is pretty spread in the normal population and perhaps may even not be related to finasteride – vote and post!
P.S. A suggestion to Mew and other admins: make a new subforum meant for polling, so we can get the statistics going! There we could see a nice list of symptoms and quickly vote, if we have it or not, and it would stick out to the whole community. We probably get pretty flawed results from this vote here, as only a certain amount of people with certain symptoms wander in this subforum.
That kind of subforum would give a good picture very quickly, make everybody rethink their condition and be really practical and perhaps of real use for the scientists. But remember not to give everybody the rights to start polls as there are some pretty labile people here and it may get spammed fast due to the nocebo effect. So somebody has to do some pre-statistics with his own eye and carefully choose the actual probable symptoms. Luckily we already have a nice list of symptoms in the introduction subforum.
