Many of us on this forum have dealt with this same problem.....Health Anxiety at its highest peak. Please believe your doctor(s)! If I could bring back all the time wasted on worry and the hell I put my family through I would. But like yourself I was so deep in the throws of fear, I could not...

B/C 4. My symptoms really wax and wane. I have only had a fluttering of my tongue under extreme stress. I can count this happening a handful of times in over 2yrs.

There are 2 types of ACHR. The nicotinic ACHR is used to detect myathenis gravis. The ganglionic ACHR is used to detect autonomic dysfunction. According to my neurologist the gACHR is highly sensitive and false positives are rare. My paraneoplastic blood series were sent to Mayo for evaluation.

I have also tested positive for this antibody. My neuroligist says he believes this is why I have BCFS. I had CT scan from neck to groin to rule any malignancies. He said I didn't fit the profile for cancer either but knew the tests would give me some peace of mind.

I have the same feelings as smithylab, it waxes & wanes. I told my pcp that my big toe hurt so bad they checked for gout. I really don't understand the strange rheumatic symptoms. A rheumy dismissed me saying I didn't have RA but i definitely get joint flares :(

Mine started with random muscle and joint pain. Felt like the worst flu EVER! the twitching started a few wks later :( Shelly

Yes, I get this also. I don't have a Fibromyalgia dx but achy joint are a sxs that comes and goes for me., like you also stephan the dr. had no explanation. I have seen a rheumy that has ruled out RA even though I was just slightly positive and no Fibromyalgia or cfs. From what I read here, it...

You can look up the paraneoplastic series through the Mayo Clinic website

Hey guys, I had my first full upper body morning shake this morning upon waking. Seemed to last as long as I was in that place between waking and sleeping but I guess it could've been happening before I started waking up too? A bit weird but honestly a little bit reassuring as this isn't a...

Just wondering if anyone has heard from Swift_TaySwift20. He last posted a few months ago as he was soon to be tested by a hematology/oncology dr. I have sent a PM that has gone unanswered. Hoping all is well. If anyone has info, plz pass along.Thanks!Shelly

Thumbs up to Mario! I am so sick of reading these fear fueled posts that get everyone so worked up. I know that this is an open forum but TwitchyMD you have been around long enough to know how these post effect people, esp. newbies. IMH opinion if you are still freaking out over a certain...

If you were drinking coffee everyday don't stop cold turkey, you will possibly get really bad bad headaches ( I know I had these) try to quit slowly, add more milk than coffee etc.

I was looking into it also for something to take once I taper from my AD. I researched it and it can interfere with other drugs so I am hoping that I can just come completely off celexa and not need anything. If you try it please give us a report of how it works for you.Shelly

Hi Ashley, just a thought...I know you are training for an upcoming run, maybe the extra exercise has caused the calves to flare. I know I have been hitting the gym hard lately and the arches of my feet go nonstop for a few hours after exercise. Hope things calm down and good luck on your run...

I thought it might be useful for anyone visiting this site to have access to empirical evidenced based information. I believe we often confuse our own opinions with fact, or we have a little information which is expended upon by each other beyond a reasonable definition. I thought this thread...

Thanks Shanny! The weird thing is I really don't feel anxious. I was so bad in the beginning I would think I should have had them then, I did have myoclonic jerks horrible in the first few months. Do you find that yours are random throughout the day or upon waking as mine have been occuring?

I have had bfs since october 2010 and have had an occasional buzzing feeling and an arm tremor upon waking but for 4wks now I have had an internal tremor upon waking almost every morning in my trunk. I thought it was due to a medication change so I stopped the new med and started taking what I...

I asked this question in my other post. Just thought this thread would get a little more traffic. Has anyone used either of these natural remedies or depression and anxiety or have any suggestions for others

Does anyone have any experience with natural remedies for anxiety and depression like St. John's wort or SAM-e. I have read they have little side effects, just wondering how well they work?

Thanks ladies for your advice....I will call my dr. on Monday as he is out today. I was really hoping this would work for me. Do either of you take AD & what are you experiences?
