I have been a long-term meditator and recently had a recurrence of a symptom that I had bothered me years ago: sudden, brief involuntary twitching or jerking of a muscle or group of muscles in my upper body and neck as I settled, often repetitive. I found these were called myoclonus or myoclonic jerks and they went away entirely years ago when our family went failsafe (I am sensitive to salicylates and increasingly to amines). Now they were back because I had chosen to eat high salicylate foods for several days. They disappeared again when I reduced salicylate containing foods and have not recurred.

Your food intolerance information turned our whole family sunny-side up decades ago and it is a gift that keeps on giving, thank you – Tom
