Neither here or at the braintalk board. And of course there's the Mayo study that showed nobody going on to get anything serious...

Today marks 3 years of twitching for me. During those 3 years I've been through fear, anxiety, uncertainty and a thousand other emotions. I now know that this is not and will not become als/mnd. The twitches still come - tiny tongue twitches, big thumpers in my thighs, flickering in my hands...

An outstanding literature search! I think this puts the whole "Lyme disease" thing in perspective. Maybe Eric would like to incorporate it in his signature? :) David

I used to get that burned feeling on my tongue, pain and irritaiton in my sinus,as well as a soar throat. It was caused by reflux and now that I take ranitadine everyday I don't feel it anymore. I never felt that tightness, but my friend did and his was caused by reflux too. Just a thought...

...and people wonder why the West of Scotland is the heart disease capital of Europe! Once you're done worrying about your twitching you could move on to the state of your coronary arteries! :) :) David

That's great, Tom. I have just hit the 2.5 year mark & am still bugged by facial & tongue twitching. Nice to know it's not als though! David

I used to get this too - like there's a tiny man in your ear with a jackhammer. It went away eventually.

But you've been banging on about this for months and months and months already! Aaaaaaargh!

it lasts for a few seconds at a time & is very intermittent. Nothing helps except getting up & doing something to take your mind off it. I've twitched in worse places!

I can't help thinking that people are missing the main points of this paper by concentrating on one tiny insignificant & probably irrelevant detail. IMHO. David
