I have not been such a frequent flyer lately and I apologize. I am feeling 100% better. I still have the twitches but I know that they are not going to kill me and I am not so obsessed with sickness. I have been taking my meds (Effexor) for about 6 weeks and I think they have really helped...

Doesnt make my twitches worse or better. It just makes me not care about them :D) . I recommend it. It really helps anxiety.

I get that too sometimes. Do you grind your teeth when you sleep or clench them when you get upset or have anxiety? That is what does it for me. It is all so much fun isnt it?! :confused: Oh well at least we are not alone!

Hey Jason Sorry you are still so worried. By now you most likely would have a difficult time swallowing, and saying ALL combinations of letters not just s's. You are concentrating too hard on it and the more you think about the worse it gets. My mom had bulbar ALS and she slurred her words...

I love knowing that I am not the only one that does all of these weird "tests"! I can spread all of my toes on my right foot which is the leg that bothers me the most. On the left foot I cant spread my little toe either. Hope that helps! You are not alone in being irrational and abnormal. I...

Is this "our motto"? It really should be. I am wishing right now that I just had the twitching. Compared to this allergy/anxiety/swallowing thing they are my best friend. This tickle in my throat and postnasal drip and cough and swallowing are driving me insane :mad: . I know you are...

Mine started in my right calf too. That is where I get most of my twitches. Take a deep breath and relax. Your are fine :D)

I have heard the motto of this site can be "Come for the twitching, stay for the swallowing." I am going through the whole swallowing and talking thing now. I finally figured out that it is allergies and post nasal drip that is making me have problems I have a tickle in my throat that gets...

One more thing...the more you think about it and look it up on the internet the worse it gets. Please, no more googling. Your twitches could be anxiety :eek: like mine.

Welcome to the club. You are fine just like the rest of us (I should take my own advice). All over twitching is not a sign of ALS. It usually starts in the hand or foot and moves its way up. Most of the time they are not even felt because they are so fine. My mom had ALS and never had...

I love my anxiety mixed with my allergies :mad: . Good times! My newest thing is this horrible tickle in the my throat that I can feel everytime I breath. I am sure it is just the post nasal drip from allergies. I live in Wisconsin so we,re not that far. Hell, we probably even share some of...

I have the same thing with my right leg. It seems to get tired faster than the left but only on some days. This is not like clinical weakness like you have with ALS. If you had ALS you would not have regained the strength back in your leg. My hand is also the same as yours. It drove me...

Hey Astro I am by no means an expert but...bulbar ALS is extremely rare (my mom had it) Any chance your symptoms stem from allergies? My are acting up now. Lots of post nasal drip can make you feel the way you are and anxiety can make you feel very short of breath and make you feel like you...

Hi again! Does anyone have sciatica? I have been having this pain in my butt cheek, to my knee and calf. Also that leg seems to get tired faster than the other. It is also my leg that twitches the most (calf) and I have some tingling in that foot. It has been scaring me for the last couple...

Herbin Legend I must admit I find you very entertaining. I too was a pot head as I mentioned in a reply to your other post. My right leg seems to get tired faster than my left but its not everyday and its not geting worse. So your symptoms sound like mine...anxiety (I too am a fan of xanax but...

Hey I never thought about that whole THC thing. I used to smoke everyday but I quit since my daughter was born 3 years ago and I went back to school for nursing (reassuring knowing that your nurses arent potheads!). Maybe there is a connection. Anyone else....puff....puff....pass? He He! ;)

Thanks for the reassurance. I need all the help I can get ;)

Hi Everyone! I am having a very twitchy kind of day!! :eek: I get them even when I am not thinking about it. Is this normal to get them all of the time. The only time I dont get them is while I am doing something physical like taking a walk or gardening. I also get them mostly in my legs...
