Summary
A 59-year-old woman developed tingling in her hands and feet after a COVID infection, then constant muscle twitching, mostly in her calves, a few months later, worse after exercise. A neurologist said no testing was needed. She began drinking strong ginger daily for other reasons and within days the twitching nearly stopped, which she thought might be coincidence; she kept taking ginger. By the next month, the twitching was occasional, nothing like before.

- ginger (Jake's strong ginger drink) · Helped
I starting taking ginger (specifically about 1/3 cup of Jake's strong ginger drink daily) and a few days later, the twitching nearly stopped. I would say at least 95% gone.
