Anxiety Treatment: Unexpected Symptoms?

[saige011]

My anxiety treatment has been going well, and I know I probably shouldn't indulge myself, but I am starting to freak a little due to somewhat different symptoms. I just got back from the NM specialist with another clean neuro exam, so I don't freak out as much about ALS, but I'm wondering if my symptoms could be indicative of something else. In addition to body-wide twitching, from the tongue to the feet, I've started getting more twitches in my right arm (forearm and bicep) that tend to get activated more often than not at times when I exert the muscle. Is it common for BFS "hot-spot" twitches to focus on one side of the body? And bicep twitches are of the "thumper" variety.All my other symptoms are still there, but with the anxiety treatment seemed to have subsided somewhat. It's been a few months with 2 clean emgs, 5 clean neuro exams. I'm ready to move on from this, but the nagging in my mind continues. (Sigh)

Hard not to wonder if symptoms are indicative of something else as just when you think you are starting to cope with the symptoms a new one pops up! I've experienced the "thumpers" just a few weeks ago in my left deltoid for days, then just yesterday it started in my right deltoid. Like many us our variety of symptoms keep us second guessing, even after clean EMGs and neuro exams. Really good to hear you're focused on the anxiety treatment as the real healing comes when we learn not to let the fear take over.
