Hmm, I guess you have I be a member to view them. Oh well. In regards to the Lyme. I was bitten last time around 5 weeks ago. The other bite has around two months ago. I don't think that's too bad considering they recommend you wait 4-6 weeks. I had my blood drawn yesterday. We shall see. Only...

Should be approved and page two. Also, debating a Lyme test as I've been bitten a LOT lately..

Yuli, thank you so much for every word you write. I truly mean it! The pictures have to await approval and probably will be up today.

Yes, I have. I'm sorry :( I want you to see the pictures then I'll leave. How do you upload them? Another perspective would be great.

The more I look the more I find. I swear my left hand is smaller/atrophied than my right. To make matters worse I can see a twitch in my left hand that I don't feel. None in my right. I'd upload a picture if I knew how.

Ugh, after five and a half months you'd think if stop. It's like I have nothing better to do. I just opened and closed peanut butter jars. The bigger jars are harder to open with thumb and pointer finger than the smaller jars.

I'm crazy. I even worry about stuff I couldn't open in the past. Like having to use my hands and teeth to open a sealed ham package. I bought another and opened it with ease. I had an episode where I couldn't open apple juice and I asked my brothers gf and she couldn't ether. My brother got it...

I'm 22 now. Started a month before my 22nd birthday. I know it's rare, but how many 22 year olds do you see with bfs? With twitching like mine? That's also rare. I haven't had a medical evaluation in months. The last one I had was by the neuro and approximately 3-4 weeks into twitching. Give or...

Went to bed last night and my thumb twitched four times. Never had that before and woke up to my knee going crazy. This SUCKS. How can you be so sure it's benign?

My anxiety seems a bit over the top since I couldn't sleep last night and the twitching got worse as the night progressed. I also seemed clumsy/somewhat sick at work yesterday. Knocked over some blood filled tubes twice.

Wow, I see. Hard to change your ways after months. I mean, even today I seem clumsy as I dropped two things in two minutes and have intense knee pain since yesterday. Somehow my mind instantly runs to the worst I can find..

The worst part is I wasn't even over excited in my opinion. I woke up at 6:30 am and immediately yawned/shook. Maybe five minutes from waking up. Almost like having goosebumps and shaking.

Everyone says five months and no weakness you're ok. Then I read horror stories on the bet and even here. I wish I could leave this all behind..

Still doubting this is bfs. Constant twitching everywhere (even in buttocks) I also noticed I shake when stretching/yawning. Why?

Yuli, thanks for the replies. The scratching isn't as bad as it used to be. Less scratching means less irritated. The thigh and calve twitches could go away now..

I keep having sinus infections or congestion, too. My ears are all stuffy and making cracking noises. Also, I had sever scratching in my inner thighs to where I was bleeding. It's died down now. Any thoughts?

The only place I can self induce cramps is my calves. Which is where I'm also nonstop twitching. Which is why I'm scared.

I should also note I have finger twitching and moving while trying to sleep. I even wake up with internal tremors sometimes. The human body is quite impressive.

Yuli, self induced cramps not twitching is what I meant! Thanks for all the outlook guys. I need it. Toughest five months ever. How many months can I say this isn't the big one?

Well, here I am. Most likely a product of viral illness and unbelievable stress and or worry. First, thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and offers reassurance or any bit of help as I need it. Towards the end of last year I got dumped (boohoo) and my world spiraled. Being 21 and...
