Hey Ben I've done all of those things several times today...I kid you not. I have GERD (I suggest searching it, a lot of people on here have it) which will make you do ALL of those things. You are AOK my friend. Cheers K

Hi All I experienced my first lip twitches today...weird! Does anybody else get them too?! They didn't last long...but now my lips are feeling tingly / numb-ish. Can anyone relate to the tingly / numb-ish feeling? Thanks heaps. Kate :)

Hey Jenn I am LITERALLY just back from a speed walk and my butt and my legs are popping like crazy! Very normal.

Hi JoJoJ I've been twitching for about 2 months now..maybe a little bit more...and I def. had percieved weakness for the first couple of weeks...I def. had it before I saw the Neuro. and got the all clear and then I did have it for a week or two afterwards (prob. whilst I was making myself to...

Hey Kit Do you have any assurance to give around a low white cell count? Mine is 4.3 (27 year old female) and has been steady at this for about 6 weeks. My Doctor said this is in the normal range (albeit at the low end) so therefore she wouldn't take any action unless it drops out of the...

Mine is the twitches of flexor muscles that cause a flinch / jerk type movement. So annoying. I can deal with the twitches fine and often don't notice them, but hard not to notice the flinches / jerks! And, sometimes, if I get a 'big' muscle twitch (i.e. the whole of my quad will go, I...

Yep, I get the finger twitches, one finger can suddenly move and it will take me by surprise, I imagine that depending on which muscles twitches in the finger, it can cause the whole finger to move. I also get leg jerks occasionally, I have the same theory as above, depending on which muscle in...

Hey there I've had a dead arm all day if it makes you feel any better. It has been on and off referring through to my hand too...on and off hand aches and pains...but my arm is pretty much dead. I've had this before in my other arm and it cleared up after about 48 hours or so. I am sure you'll...

Opening up an old post here, but Basso, I had a question on one of your comments, what can SSRI's have to do with swallowing?

Thanks so much for your responses everyone...gave me a good giggle and reassured me once again. For me, imagining tongue and swallowing problems seems to be the easiest thing for my mind to conjure up! K :)

Hi Paul My symptoms follow a very similar path with regards to being quite settled in the morning and then gradually 'ramped' up over the course of the day (and that is without coffee!). I quite often have no twitches when I first wake up and can lie in bed peacefully! Lucky me...I know it...

Hey Guys Just a quick question...does anyone get 'whole of muscle' twitches...most of my twitching so far has been quite 'low key' and just certain parts of the muscle...however I just had my first whole thigh muscle twitch and it took me by surprise and it was such a sudden and jerky type...

Like so many people write in their first post on this forum, I have been reading all your posts over the last couple of weeks and have taken GREAT comfort in the support and advice you all give each other. Until April this year, I was a active and healthy 27 year old. Around Easter time, I got...
