A member asked:
My nerves all over my body have been jumping a lot recently. it started after playing a game of basketball. i do have seasonal allergies. what is it?

Muscle fatigue: Depends on what you mean by jumping nerves. Extreme exercise, such as weightlifting, frequently triggers twitching muscles (called fasciculations). The basketball game probably was the cause and it's nothing to worry about. Caffeine also stimulates the nerves and causes twitching. Vitamin deficiences could, less likely, cause something like that. Probably not related to allergies.
