    Tribute to Forum Members: Experiencing Anxiety

    Something to point out because I suffer from severe breathing and throat issues. I have confirmed severe reflux and post nasal drip. When the ENT scoped me, he saw severe inflammation on my vocal chords and around the esophagus. If someone gets checked out, ask about inflammation. My doctor...

    Benzo Drugs & Symptom Worsening?

    I had all kinds of problems with klonopin, so I would say that it can.

    My Body's Twitches and Zaps

    I actually do find that very interesting! I was diagnosed with GERD and Gastritis last June, and in August I was diagnosed with LPR (airway reflux) as a complication of a hiatal hernia (which I think can also cause pain in the sternum). These things all came on one after the other starting last...

    My Body's Twitches and Zaps

    Something that has been very bothersome lately... I keep getting aches and pressure pain at the base of my sternum especially when breathing, but also just in general. This similar feeling occurs in my left clavicle, almost like a pulling sensation under and above my collarbone. Anyone...

    My Body's Twitches and Zaps

    I have voice issues too. I get froggy at points throughout the day. It comes and goes, and it's annoying!

    My Body's Twitches and Zaps

    I had a chance to look around, and it seems we all have some odd things going on. The voice and swallowing stuff is the most concerning along with the breathing. I see my tongue twitch, but rarely feel it. That said, I have no weakness in my tongue. I guess the part that freaks me out is that...

    My Body's Twitches and Zaps

    I have fairly standard symptoms such as twitches that come and go all over my body. I have bad zaps in my eyebrow, lip, and thigh through the last week and a few zaps in my arms and scalp. It's funny, I might have a day with no twitches, and the next day my whole body is a mess. I've also been...

    12 Month Progress: From Fear to Bulbar

    I do get occasional tongue twitches, the suspect this far is anxiety. Based on presentation, neither my ent, gp, or neurologist suspects any kind of neuro disease. Doesn't mean I'm not scared of what it might be, but I don't think either of us have ***.

    12 Month Progress: From Fear to Bulbar

    He suggested post nasal drip and a food allergy, but right now I don't have a good answer. He said he does not suspect an MND.

    12 Month Progress: From Fear to Bulbar

    I have the sane symptoms you just described with sore throat and hoarse voice. I'm at my ent for this and another issue as I type. You might have LPR, a form of acid reflux.

    ALS Fear - Accepting BFS

    Like many of you here, I have health anxiety. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist in two weeks FINALLY to start treating it. In the mean time, I wanted to understand BFS a little better and admit my irrational fears of a**.So, I have very occasional tongue twitches. They look like little...
