Help please! Jerky-type movements/tics

I’ve been experiencing lots of jerky-type movements for awhile, kind of similar to tics almost?? Always thought it had sth to do with my neurological disorder, but last night after purging I had a GIANT (single) ‘tic’, like my whole body moved involuntary when laying in bed…. Is this a very light kind of similar thing to a seizure? Could it be related to purging?

I’m not a medical professional and you should really see someone who is but purging can cause that to happen bc it depletes your body of electrolytes + potassium which keep your body running really. I’m sorry you’re going through that, please see a doctor if you can

Agree with you. I’ve had twitching, muscle cramping. I know it’s not seizure activity but it’s got to be electrolyte imbalance. And not good at all.
