Ingrid,
I sure don't feel like an expert on the MC subject, but I really feel like many of our problems are vitamin deficiencies. We're kind of "caught between a rock and a hard place" - we can't get better without the nutrition, but taking supplements might make us worse.
Somehow, with the help of this forum, we'll get this turned around and going our way. It's going to take a lot of patience it seems.

Ingrid,
I agree with Carol about the vitamins. Muscle tics can be caused by a vitamin B-12 deficiency. The liver can store vitamin B-12 for up to 5 years. But if we have been having malabsorption problems for longer than that, we can become B-12 deficient (and probably deficient in other "B" vitamins). I sometimes had eye tics and other muscle tics while recovering, but I didn't know what caused them back then, so I eventually developed peripheral neuropathy as my deficency became worse. As I began to take a B-12 supplement, the tics disappeared, but the peripheral neuropathy was permanent.
Ordinary, cheap B-12 supplements (cyanocobalamin) won't work for many of us. We have to take the more expensive active form of B-12 (methylcobalamin). After I started taking a special mix of the active forms of B-12, 9, and 6, my peripheral neuropathy improved, but I have to take the supplement every day, or it gets worse again. This vitamin blend is specially developed to treat peripheral neoropathy in diabetes patients. It's available by prescription only, and it's called Metanx. A few years ago Thorne Laboratories developed a generic substitute that's available without prescription. It's called Methyl-Guard, but it's only about half as potent as Metanx. They also have a product called Methyl-Guard Plus that's twice as potent and a good substitute for Metanx. This is what I take now after the Metanx became too expensive.
It's still not cheap, though. You might be able to get by with just B-12 (methylcobalamin). It's much less expensive without the active forms of B-9 and B-6. If a vitamin B-12 deficiency is causing your symptoms, taking a B-12 supplement should stop the symptoms in just a few days. But be sure to buy methylcobalamin, not cyanocobalamin.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Yes with trembles
I have the shakes at times. I also get ticks. It's hard to function when your body is shaking and trembling inside. It's enough to light up NYC! I become embarrassed. I've learned to live with it. I've always chalked it up to having Spasmodic Torticollis, but now realize it's a gut issue too! Sometimes I've wondered, how did I get so far with all my medical problems. Nobody said life was going to be easy.
