Like many of you here, I have tortured myself with the ALS fear brought on by my twitching. It's been a little over a year now and I'm doing pretty well. Unfortunately, I racked up some major medical bills over the past year. I actually had an EMG done at the Cleveland Clinic. It was very...

Tonight I had what I think was a really weird twitch. I was sitting on the couch, and all of a sudden it felt like my heart was fluttering, but it didn't feel like my heart. I had my husband come over and put his hand on my chest, and he couldn't feel a twitch and he said my heartbeat seemed...

Leah, I think that the most important thing that you can do right now is to stay far far away from the ALS sites. Delete them from your bookmarks (or favorites) folder. When I just couldn't help myself and felt like I needed to keep going back to those sites I deleted them all from my computer...

Joanne, If I do anything with any muscle that is either strenuous(sp) or repetative, then I get twitchy, which then brings on a kind of tired feeling in that area. When I get twitches in my hands or fingers it usually causes at least one of my fingers to move on it's own. Back and forth, up and...

Deb, Just one more thought... You are right when you say it's best to kill the anxiety problem from the 'root'. In my own experience with anxiety though I found that medication worked great to help me to lessen the anxiety while I was letting the therapy work. The therapy doesn't work quickly...

I have been on SSRI's, and I have to say that I honestly never noticed any side effects. It's real easy to find 'horror stories' about meds, or problems that people had with side effects. One thing to remember is that you never hear from the people who are doing great on them. There are no web...

When I have a panic/anxiety attack I often hyperventilate, and I feel a vibration and or pounding in my chest. My Doc says that it's caused by the hyperventilation, but when my chest feels weird, I always freak out and breathe harder and deeper. I think that I overwork my chest muscles when I...

check out this article about antibiotics I was given Cipro in Jan 2002 while in the hospital. In february 2002 was when I first noticed the twitch in my legs.

Hello! I am 27 years old, married, female, disabled due to severe social anxiety and panic attacks, and I think I have BFS. My doctor has diagnosed me as having Essential Tremor, but I'm pretty sure that he is wrong. I think that everything started in the fall of 2001. I was feeling really bad...
