Thank you for such quick responses, I feel better already :D) I have seen my GP who told me to wait two weeks and then come back 2 see him. seems like a lifetime tho when you have a specific worry. Wishing you all peace and a twitch free night XX

Hi everybody, just managed to register and would be really grateful if someone could give me some advice on this. I am a fairly recent twitcher (started two weeks ago in my upper back/ shoulder) and did the stupidest thing in my entire life - googled the words twitching muscles! you know what...

If you had muscle twitches all over your body as you describe, Then if you had ALS you would have a lot of physical disabilities by now. Welcome to the BFS club! The best thing you have done is that you have found this website sooner rather than later, it helps release all that anxiety building...

Eeeek!! I drink Earl Grey all day and every day - can hardly get out of bed without it However, have been doing so for years and only noticed the twitching about 18 months ago Hmmm....

Hi CSr I know exactly what you are going through and it isn't nice. Check out the following thread started by myself in early October. It is now four months later and I am absolutely fine It is scary but I think many, many people experience this kind of thing. Lucky them that they don't...

Hi Suzy, I do remember you posting about the barium swallow and how you were convinced your days were numbered. So glad for you, myself and everyone else on this forum that you were wrong Elena, you described it exactly! The second input bit is just what I feel is happening. The over-focusing...

Thank you all for responding, it is unbelievably reassuring to hear what I probably already know :D) Ginny, I do remember your swallowing fear and I also remember posting that I wouldn't be worried if I were you, after such a long time from onset of other symptoms. I apologise for that, what...

Sorry Ginny, if you read this. I didn't mean to copy your subject title. I must have seen it and subconsciously logged it and used it X

Hi all I am having a really hard time at the moment - can hardly cope with the fear of this new symptom I am convinced that my swallowing is off. I'm not choking or anything but I feel like I can't get a good swallow between eating. Like I have to try extra hard and I only get half a swallow...

yes i have definitely had roof of the mouth/throat twitching. first post about it was around three months ago Here's the link: Nothing much has changed for me since i posted this so can only assume all is well (pretty sure three months down the line something would have become a problem if...

Hi Krog I had a letter for an emg on the nhs and was told the waiting list was 16 weeks - eek! Like the others said, you can declare that you will take a cancellation at short notice. I did that (really emphasized how freaked out I was on the phone) and got a cancellation just two days later...

Oh and Troy - good luck on de-caffeinating yourself, it can only be a good thing. Getting rid of vices is doubly beneficial because you not only dump the physical effects your vice generates but you feel soo mentally in control! Good Luck!

Mia, You and me both! When my two girls were little, I focused all my worrying onto them (were they ill, if they were being driven somewhere would the driver make sure they had their seatbelts on etc) Now they are a little older (but still not old enough to be driven around by boyfriends -...

Jenn I teach middle school kids, mostly English and drama but have one day a week teaching physical education On Friday, I got the kids warming up, stretching muscles very carefully and slowly and then did some general pulse-raising activities I woke up yesterday morning as stiff as a board...

Chris What an idiot that guy sounds! I would bloody well report him to the 'stamp out a$$-Hole doctor's society' if I were you I had an experience once with a gp who really made me feel so small I was in tears and couldn't continue the consultation You are a really kind and sensitive guy who...

Hi DQ I don't have the way with words that Suzy and Basso have but I can tell you something I learned quite recently which put my mind at rest a bit I too have been worried recently about bulbar onset but my neurologist told me that it would be exceptionally unusual for a person with bulbar...

Hi Dave Yes, I think I definitely tried to stop too quickly. Have been back on 10mg for around three days and whooshing and headaches have cleared up I will keep on 10mg for a while and then maybe alternate over Christmas, when I dont have to teach Thanks for taking the time Julia

Yes I'm with Gary on this one. Exercise is not always prudent when your body is protesting so vehemently against it My legs feel like they have lead weights pulling them down but I made myself go for my normal thirty minute run this morning Upshot is, I feel so, so much worse for it. I can...

ristinaL91 you just made me laugh out loud! I just can't imagine what the stranger in Macys thought :LOL: Jenn, I appreciate your concern. I wish I could stop being so obsessive but I guess that's just how I am (I have removed the mirror tho LOL) Alex, filming your tongue? OK, you beat me...

Lene I read the article and found it too difficult for my foggy brain to interpret. Is there any way that you or Steve might be able to give a brief lay person's interpretation? I would be very grateful Steve (or anyone else who knows about these things), when I had my emg and ncs, my neuro...
