Problem: Article: Pay attention to how long the muscle twitches are lasting. Most muscle twitches are short lived and do not impact your quality of life. However, if you are having strong twitches or you are having twitching often or constantly, you should think about getting a medical evaluation. Track the frequency of the twitches. If they are happening daily and are lasting more that a minute or two, and you have no exacerbating factors, such as stress, then you should contact your doctor. If you have long lasting muscle twitches that are impacting your quality of life and are not stopping, contact your doctor and get a check up. While rare, there are some serious illnesses that can cause muscle twitching, and you will want to rule them out as the cause of your twitching. Your doctor will likely do a general medical evaluation and then run specialized testing if they think there might be an underlying medical condition. Some serious, yet rare, medical conditions that can cause muscle twitching include Tourette syndrome, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophy, Isaac's syndrome, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, brain tumors, liver failure, kidney failure, nervous system disorders, and genetic disorders. Medical conditions that cause muscle twitching should be treated by a doctor. Depending on what medical condition you have, muscle twitching will oftentimes be controlled when the condition is controlled. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can sometimes cause muscle twitching. Once these imbalances are fixed, the twitching should cease. There are some rare progressive neurological illnesses that begin with symptoms such as minor muscle twitching. With these illnesses, such as Lou Gehrig's disease, the twitches may get progressively worse and will be uncontrollable. Since tumors can cause muscle twitching, having surgery to remove them can eliminate the twitching. If treating your underlying medical condition does not minimize muscle twitching, there are medications that can be prescribed that can target the twitching specifically. Medications that are commonly prescribed for controlling muscle twitching include muscle relaxants and neuromuscular blockers. Talk to your doctor about whether one of these medications will work with your larger treatment plan.
Summary: Assess the severity of your muscle twitches. Have a medical evaluation done. Treat the underlying condition. Take medication for muscle twitching.

Problem: Article: Look online for classes offered by community centers or a nearby college if you want to take up a hobby that you love. Hobbies allow you to take a break from your professional life and make for a great outlet for stress. You are never too old to attend a class that interests you. Hobbies can include singing, dance, learning an instrument, or taking an art class. Refrain from making excuses and practice regularly. Life can become busy, and it's easy to put the hobby you love on the backburner for more important things. Try scheduling your day out and lessen the time you spend on other tasks so you can fit in room for your hobby. Eliminate other time-consuming tasks like watching TV or surfing the web and dedicate that time to your hobby instead. Friends and family may be critical of your new hobby if it's different than what you normally do, or they don't agree with it. Don't let this persuade you not to pursue the hobby you love. Don't listen to people that say you can't do it, and take the time to learn about your hobby and get better at it. Don't quit a hobby just because other people think it's silly. If it makes you happy and you genuinely enjoy doing it, stick with it. If you are new to your hobby, or you haven't been practicing it for a long time, there's a good chance you'll need to get better at it. Most people won't be proficient at a task without being given the time to practice. Age may also play a factor in your new hobby and could prevent you from doing it well if it's physical and you're out of shape or have health conditions. Evaluate yourself honestly, and set goals that are realistic to your abilities. If you are older, you may have a decrease in functional ability. Instead of setting unattainable goals, consider your body and aim for something that you can accomplish.
Summary: Search online and sign up for classes in your area. Make time in your schedule to dedicate to your hobby. Don't let criticism take away from your happiness. Be realistic with your goals.
