So 5 plus year veteran of this nightmare, and this has me unraveling. I have fine twitches like rolling/flickering in my thenar muscle and I can't feel them. I can only see them in certain lights. I made a thread about it and no one responded but I'm really hoping someone responds now because I...

Um ouch! :( I don't believe my neuro is an idiot at all. He is actually chief of neurology at a very prominent hospital in Boston. We have good doctors in my state and I'm fortunate to have access to them. Many people with seizure disorders take Klonopin for long periods of time (up to 15 mg or...

Hey Matt, I get a twitch in my tongue that pulls the whole left side up too. I've been having that for over 4 years now. However, I'm feeling my own need to vent. I've relapsed with my anxiety fears due to a constant thenar twitch, can see it but can't feel it. I'm also having severe throat...

I have that right now actually, very fine twitches under my thumb in the thumbpad that can only be seen in certain lights. I made a post about it. Naturally I kind of freaked like you because you probably read the first post here and what it says about "fine twitching" and "special lights." At...

Just an update on another issue--Got invited to go out to dinner with some family. I was going to say no because I was such a wreck but then I thought that the best thing to do was to keep myself busy instead of staring at my palm so I went. We ended up doing some shopping beforehand and I was...

Hi Emmie,I know how you feel. My family is just about as fed up as can be with me too. My mom is ready to scream I believe. I also have the nonstop thenar (is that what it's called?) twitch in my left thumbpad. It just flickers constantly and I don't even feel it. Normally that wouldn't scare me...

I have been on this medication for 5 years. I used to take up to 1.5 mg a day and found that it did help with the twitching somewhat. I only did this maybe during the first year of twitching. When I was doing better, I lowered it to .5 mg a day just at night. There were occasions here and there...

Hi,I honestly feel embarrassed even posting this because I just reassured someone before that twitches you can see and not feel are not a big deal. However, on Thursday, I was getting a twitch in my thumb and it was moving the whole finger. I didn't think too much of it, other than that it was...

Could you possibly point it out and link to it? I would be so appreciative. Today I was doing okay but then I started to laugh and I felt some pain and cramping again. It's so strange.

Saw the neuro and she said she could reassure me it wasn't you know what. However, still struggling with sometimes painful jumping/twitching/cramping in my throat. Ever get that too?

Honestly I am having my own crisis at the moment (totally unrelated to your twitching) but I hope I can provide some reassurance. Having twitches you can see and not feel doesn't mean anything terrible. I have one in my tongue that is constant that I can see if I go looking for it in the mirror...

Bond007, I think you hit the nail on the head. It's the fact that the symptoms persist that causes such anxiety. I feel like at times "I can't live like this." I mean I did get very accustomed to the widespread twitching everywhere else, including my tongue (which I never thought I'd get used...

So unfortunately I am still in the bowels of hell. I told myself this is it. I'm done with this board. I am going to accept this is benign and move on with my life, stop focusing on it just like I did for basically 3 years out of the 5 years and 4 months this has been happening. However here I...

Mine happens there near the base of my throat or sort of further up my throat closer to the palate. However, this is internal. Is yours tight on the inside or is it more your neck(external)? Honestly if it was my neck, I would not be freaking like this. This is my throat, inside my throat. I...

My doctor has said as such that a tolerance can happen but she thinks that Clonazapam is one of the more effective drugs for twitching and spasms. I try to only take it at most 2x a day and that's only 1 mg a day. I took one around 9:15 this morning and the spasm is less intense now, thankfully...

I am deep in panic mode here over this still. This has been going on for nearly 3 and a half weeks and I have convinced myself life is over. Why won't it stop? I am starting to think my swallowing, breathing, and voice have all been affected. Now I am getting the tightness a bit lower in my...

I can tell you that 90% of my twitching is in my tongue and this has been going on for 5 years and I'm still here to talk about it. I would imagine that would be one muscle only so not exactly like your case but doubtful it's anything sinister.

Honestly I don't blame you for not going to a neuro. It can be a scary experience and oftentimes it's unnecessary because your PCP can tell if you are sick or not. I wish I listened to my PCP in 2008 when this started who told me "you have anxiety and it's causing you to twitch." I feel like if...

Thanks for replying too. My friend is a nurse and I actually called her practically in tears a couple weeks ago over this and she said that I have that exact same thing you linked to and told me not to worry. Mine goes away if I take Clonazapam usually. I seemed to be on a good regiment of it...

Hi,Thanks so much for replying! I am so relieved to hear someone else has this. I was afraid I was the only one and by fluke I had BFS but then randomly got you know what. Did yours feel like an internal tightening of the throat? People tell me I have globus but I tell them this is definitely...
