Hello to everyone, it has been a year since i have been on the site and i have been twitching for 30 straight months. I was one of the people on this sight a couple of years ago that was manic with fear and convinced the fat lady had sung for me. Well a couple years later and here i am in...

Tex,i can definately relate to the exercise issue. when i lift weights steady for 3-4 times a week, my symptoms go into a mild remission. my calves and feet still are 24/7 but the zips and zaps at random in other places become far less. I stopped going to the gym about 4 weeks ago because of...

Thanks for all the replys. I had weaned somewhat off but I didn't realize how helpful the benzos were on the symptoms. Either they calmed the twitches to where they weren't as strong or took my mind off them now that I hvnt had any in a while they are going nuts. My feet and calves have that...

I am coming up on the 1 year mark in 5 weeks, at least the 1 year mark of the total freakout. Everything is very good, strong and fat as ever, which i am very grateful for. I was on xanax in the beginning, 3 times a day fairly high dose. After EMG's clean and lot of support from this site, i...

last thing i will post on this subject, cause it is too suggestive for most on here to read. i didn't make one thing clear in my earlier post about my neuro appoinment. The twitch would be a continuous wave throughout the whole tongue and tremendous damage would be evident at the point of...

couple here and there, since i envoked the no look rule, i may have felt 5 or 6. When i was checking things out, i would get that in an hour. Take care my friend, you will get thru this.

i hate to put this on here cause so many people are suggestive but the facts are the facts, he said it could have been a fasciculation but a fasciculation he would order an emg for would be constant and wave like and would have associated weakness. He still contends that most of the twitches...

i had exactly what you described and he turned out the lights and used the light to evaluate them, he said he saw a little movement on one side and asked if i felt it and i said yes and said it was still normal.

i had a 6 month check up 5 weeks ago and i was feeling good up to about 2 weeks before my appoinment and i felt the tongue start twitching and then came the sensation of not talking right and so on and so forth. I was checking my tongue 50 times a day in a mirror, i was pushing on it thru my...

every single day i have this. My hands are the worst, i find myself constantly rubbing them to try and pull the pain thru. My neck has constant pain as well but i don't think that has anything to do with the BFS, i think its just i notice it more since all this started. My calves have a...

i was catching up on my post reading and saw Randy's question and i thought i should answer this one. The proper amount of time that needs to pass on worrying is the second your doctor says what you have is not life threatening. Once the test are done and the diagnosis is made, you should...

You would certainly like him, he is an old foundry worker originally from the UK and he came to the US to work for an auto supplier. He is in his 50s and i don't know how i would have made it thru the summer had he not guided me thru and showed me his calves when i was complaining about the...

i have taken a little vacation from here and i see there has been some drama, i hope the distraction has helped everyones twitching. I just ran into my fishing buddy and we were catching up after the long winter here in Michigan and if you have read my past post i mentioned that he has this...

i think this post by anxiety sucks is dead on. I have taken a vacation from the site for a while because i have started to feel better about things and i am very suggestive so post were starting to mess with my head. I think a lot of people on this site are right there with me. Anyway when i...

i posted it a while ago that a buddy i fish with showed me his calves after i told him i was freaking out about my calves twitching. I thought i had it bad until i saw his, they were non stop and deep compared to mine at the time. He had first noticed it 20 years earlier and it hadnt stopped...

You guys have saved me a lot of stress today, your post hit the nail on the head for me today. I spent some time in the snow with the kids and today at the office i have noticed that my left leg is going crazy all over with twitches and i have a small cramping sensation in the back of the calf...

My 2 cents on this is, my twitching was very localized in my tricep for 2 weeks, felt like a pulse. Showed it to people they all sald yah i have had that. It was only in that spot until 1 not so bright moment when i thought maybe i will check and see what this might be and you all know what...

You found the right place to surf, google as it has been said on this site over and over is pure evil. You and i are almost the same age and before all twitches started i thought anxiety was fuel for my success. Once it goes negative its a crazy mind altering drug. Xanax was a godsend for me...

i will try the allergy medicine, i have zyrtec in the cupboard. Thanks for the suggestion, i am starting to think that this flares up when the front neck muscles twitch and vibrate, all part of the fun. I just whoofed down a double cheese, large fry and a diet coke, so i must be good. LOL

twitchin +swallowing problems on this site are indicative of ANXIETY PERIOD. I think this crap causes OCD, i can now obsess over any voluntary or involuntary aspect of my body. Swallowing is just the latest that i choose to torment myself with. LOL Its time for a vacation away from myself.
