    Introducing: Shaun from PA

    Thanks again for all the supportive comments!Just wanted to update. Still feeling an occasional twitch, but it's died down a lot in the last few days. Also, I think the anxiety medicine is making a subtle difference. I fortunately am still just as much myself, but I seem to be able to relax...

    veryconfident321, thanks, and I know we'll both get through it!So had my doctor's appointment today (after an almost 4 hour waiting room wait, as they're severely understaffed or overbooked or something...). Good news on most fronts I've been watching (blood pressure, heart health, cholesterol...

    Introducing: Shaun from PA

    Thanks much for the feedback! Still relatively light on twitches (but I'm aware that may change and trying to prepare for it)! I think you're right about the anxiety being the main problem, as what I'm anxious about tends to switch without good reason among "topics of the moment". As soon as...

    Just as an update, the last few days I've definitely twitched less. In fact, yesterday I don't think I noticed any at all. Today I had a bit of minor twitching, but that's it. Joints still feel a lil stiff/funky/achy, but that could easily be down to the intense cold/dryness in NW PA. Trying...

    Neuro Exam Results: Calf Twitches Return

    From what I know from researching:- Yes, twitches usually come AFTER weakness. That's not to say another presentation is *impossible*, as *impossible* is a BIG concept, but it's highly, highly, highly unlikely, and you shouldn't worry about it.- Similarly, 2 months with no weakness is a great...

    Thanks. I am honestly doing better with the anxiety, but I am also strongly considering a therapist to assist me with that. I do think the original twitching and some of the other symptoms are legitimately medical, but the anxiety certainly can't be helping. (And I did have a stressful year...

    Introducing: Shaun from PA

    Thanks again for the reassurances; it does make me feel better about things!Re the Steelers, yes, I always root for them in the SuperBowl anyways. I'm not much of a sports person in general (I'm a nerd lol), but I do generally watch The Big Game, at least. =oP Don't have a PS4 yet, but I am a...

    Introducing: Shaun from PA

    Hi GlowGreen,Thanks for the supportive post! I agree; logic tells me this is most probably BFS and nothing more sinister, but I'm sure you know how anxieties are even with the smallest of tiny chances it could be something else. That said, as anxiety levels go for me, I'm doing okay at the...

    Hang in there, Meled. The anxiety is the worst part, for sure. And if it helps, you're not alone in experiencing these things.
