Turned up to be nothing after all.

It has been almost 6 years for me since my twitching first started. I have twitched in every spot known to man including my tongue. I have found relief in the following ways.1) Trusting my neuro2) Reducing stress3) Staying off this board4) Learning to not give a shytI still twitch in times of...

100% anxiety. Not much more to say. But if you want some proof...Your story is exactly like everyone else here. You are a run of the mill hypo.

Yes I have. For months at a time. Comes and goes.

It is all mental. I promise if you have a clean emg you are fine. I left because I got tired of telling people the same thing over and over just to tell them again the next day. I do remember the fear though. It is miserable. Time will get you over it I promise. Just don't waste too much of your...

I can tell you with 100% confidence, from years of experience, that tongue twitching in BFS is benign. 5 years here of tongue twitching and bulbar emg and it's all benign. You don't need a bulbar emg, if your twitching in limbs were from ALS the emg would find. I've been in the cycle and know...

Most of you don't know me, but when I came here in 2009 I was a wreck. I have had every twitch known to man including the tongue. I have had every test and it is benign. You don't have ALS.I did however make the mistake of drinking way to much to alleviate my discomfort and anxiety. It seemed...

Tell Dr. Verma Tattoo guy says hello. He followed me for a few years and then broke up with me. I still twitch from time to time. I always had tongue twitches. Been 4 years and I'm still here. Better then ever actually. My only advice is stay off this bleeping board and take Xanax when needed...

That is how mine started 4 years ago. Left bicep that lasted for weeks and would wake me up. You are under more stress arn't you?

Tried to fight this feeling for while now. Can't take my own advice I guess. Was symptom free for a while and now it's back with a twist. Huge stress break down again. Economy stole my ability to make a living and made a lot of life changing decisions. Girl friend got pregnant etc. Please no...

BFS Cure:1) Get off the f'ing internet. This place will only pull you in to a deeper hole that you never even knew was possible.2) Go see a nuero. Demand an EMG for your own piece of mind.3) If you come up clean beleive it! 4) Learn how to relax.I have made the mistakes before and paid dearly...

I actually had the bicep thing for about a week. Machine gunning non stop. Now the tip on my tongue is going for about two weeks now. Today my lip decided to join in. Went and saw phychiatrist and he suggested anti psychotic meds for me. Not anti depressants but *beep* seraquol...said that i...

You are right...when your in the hole it seems hard to see the light. I woke up this morning and my tongue has mostly stopped. With the twitching stopped it is easier to grasp.

One of the very first twitches I had three years ago when this all started was in my tongue. It was right after eating ice cream. It was a clear flicker on the tip, same that I have now. The only difference is at that time I did not know of ALS, or anything like it. I treated it the same as I...

The more i think about this the more i realise it is just a waste of time to worry about. Lets say it is the big nasty, which we know its not. What can we do? Catch it early lol? Researching only keeps it on my mind and i guarantee makes it worse. Even if i find something that makes me feel...

I had that same pulling twitch for a while, but it would only come if i induced it. It lasted for about a month, maybe longer. Then it just dissapeared. I am hoping this one works out the same. It seems to be dying down. Cant feel as much. I dunno.

Im in a funk and need to write this out. I have had bfs for 3 years. My symptoms come and go and drive me crazy. I have had 4 clean emg's and the last one included bulbar region and that was only 4 months ago. I have accepted all the other twitches as benign. I am actually ok with them. But...

I mean from the medical community standpoint. If i call my neuro and say my eye and lip is twitching he will laugh ar me. If i say my tongue is he would say come in for exam. Now he just laughs at me for everything, but you get the point.

Why is lip and eye twitching so acceptable, but not the tongue? I mean eye and lip is caused by stress according to everything on the internet. Why is tip of tongue not? The tip of my tongue and my lip are both twitching right now. Why is one supposed to be scarier then the next?

One more thing you should take away from this, if you are anxiety ridden and pressing your tongue a lot against the roof of your mouth like I do, it can be local pressure on the nerve. This is a doctor who did not beleive so much in it in the beginning, but after following me for three years has...
