You know those nerve twitches, the neurologists call them fasciculations. I've had my ring finger twitching like mad off and on all day today and it is driving me nuts.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to stop it? Anything at all that helps? It reminds me of the hiccups, they come on for no apparent reason and go away when they are good and ready.

I never heard of this before. I have had a mild twitch in my fingers but never anything like that!

How about using your parafin bath maybe the warm wax will help sooth your nerve.

I dont' think there is anything we can do...It does drive me crazy too though!

My fingers do that too sometimes and I didn't know what to do about it either. I didn't realize that there was a name for them either. I'll see what I can find out. Hope they stop for you.

Hi Nancy,
My thumb does that off and on. It has since I was in my 20's. I have no idea why. Let us know if you find out. As far as I know there is no way to stop it. Good luck. Pat
