I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

In your case, since there is no pain or other issues, it may be related to repetitive strain from working on the computer. I recommend trying to take breaks and stretch your fingers regularly. Additionally, you can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg at night to help with the twitching. If the twitching persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm curious about how Neurobion Forte works for low Vitamin B12. Since it only has 15 mcg of Cyanocobalamin, how effective is it in actually boosting Vitamin B12 levels? Can you explain how it helps, especially when the amount seems so small?

I'm really curious about this twitching thing I've had going on. The extreme right corner of my eyebrow has been twitching for about a week now, and it's happening in intervals. It's starting to worry me a bit. Why do you think it's not going away? Any guidance would be appreciated.
