Sorry about the random posts this week, but I have an acid reflux question. Do any of you guys that suffer from it actually have a burning sensation in your throat or sternum when swallowing? This has started happening to me the last week. Thanks.

I was in the hospital last week due to my thyroid gland going haywire on me. I had heart palpitations and was very dizzy. They did a bunch of blood work and tested my CPK twice...three days apart. I know the blood test can tell you a lot if you are having heart problems, but I know we tend to...

I don't understand why when I flick my middle finger hard enough or bend it at the joint, that my fingers curl in giving a positive hoffman's sign. I am a nervous wreck. I know every other time the neurologist has tested me for hoffman's it was negative. The second I even put any pressure on...

I have a question for all you fellow twitchers. When you have gone to the nuero and they have tested your hoffman's sign, did they flick your middle finger hard or just lightly? I'm asking this because I got really anxious today and tested my own hoffman's reflex. I used to do this a lot back...

Hey guys. I'm getting to the point where I feel like I should make an appt with an ENT, but I'm really trying not to get anxious. My voice has had a hoarse quality for over two months now and my tongue twitching is constant....my bodywide twitching is still sporadic. Some days, it only...

Thanks for the responses. Have you guys ever had a finger/toe move constantly for weeks on end? This little toe swaying to it's own little beat is really starting to be quite uncomfortable. It does a little shimmy ever few seconds,

This is the third night in a row that I have had my head jerk before falling asleep. It's like a mini spasm involving my entire head. It's not like the normal sleep start that involves a limb. Has anyone had any myoclonic jerks in their head before? After it happened twice tonight while I...

ugh. I do not envy you. It's so annoying to be laying on the couch trying to take a nap and have my little toe dancing to its own beat.

I have had a twitch for the past two weeks that keeps making my little toe on my left foot actually move. Has anyone ever had this twitch? It's driving me crazy!

Okay so today I went to the neurologist...he's actually open on Saturdays...to have my left leg examined because I had a spinal tap recently to check for meningitis because I had been really sick. After my spinal tap, my left leg started acting up. It just didn't feel right. Anyways, the...

I have had a continuous tongue twitch for 7 months NONSTOP. It is near the tip of my tongue and is about the size of a pencil eraser. I can see it any time I go to the mirror and look in my mouth. I also have a twitch in the back of my tongue that is visible. Many neuros have seen this and I...

Thanks for replying. Is it normal for the dominant side of your body to be quite a bit stronger than the non dominant side?

Just to let everyone know in advance, I'm not freaking out. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced what I've experienced. I don't get a chance to work out much. I work 11 hour days and have 2 kids, so working out if far and few between, but I'm in pretty good shape. When my BFS...

One more thing...the neurologist also found that I had a positive Chvostek's sign which is a reflex that is initiated my tapping the angle of your jaw. It makes your lip twitch. He had never seen it in a patient before. It is normally due to hypocalcemia caused my hyperexcitability of the...

Thank you guys for responding. I feel like I get more hotspots that carry on for a few days in random parts of my body then the fleeting twitches. However, my tongue never stops. It's strange because with this tongue pulsing twitch, I can actually cause it to suck when I breathe deeply or...

Thanks Twin2. It would actually make me feel better if I experienced more twitches elsewhere instead of these very noticeable ones in my tongue that I can't feel.

I forgot to add that the neurologist finds it odd that I can make my tongue twitch worse and pulsate faster when i tense it up. I thought BFS was only supposed to happen in relaxed muscles.

Hey guys...about 6 or 7 months ago, I noticed that I had a constant pulse like twitch in my tongue. After having various clean EMGs, I have managed to calm down regarding that constant twitch. Last week, however, I developed the most bizarre constant twitch in my tongue. It is so violent...

I get all types of tongue twitches. The doctors have found that if I stick my tongue out slightly and rest it on my lips, the back right hand side of my tongue will pulse in and out. I have had a single twitch that I cannot feel near the tip of my tongue for 4 months. It is constant and will...

Jro...MG has been ruled out for me. It is the part of my eye that is between the crease and the eyebrow, not my actual eyelid closing down on my eye. The eyelid is a very annoying twitch to have. I hope it stops soon.
