My twitching started in Jan. 07 exactly a year ago. In March, I had an MRI of the brain and an EMG... all clear. I just had twitching back in Jan. Then, I had another EMG this past Sept b/c all of my worries came back, I starting having a buzzing feeling in my muscles which seems worse than the twitching, that EMG was good too. I hate the buzz feeling! It really feels like I am holding a vibrator to my skin. Well, this past Dec. my right ear started ringing and now it will not stop, I see lines in my vision all the time (sometimes there circles, sometimes just squiggly lines), and I buzz all over. The buzzing is mostly in my right foot but I feel it in my left arm and left foot sometimes. Oh, and I have a mild headache alot. I pray this is my hypochondric self talking but what if this is a tumor in my brain! When I look up the symptoms it seems I have them! Now, I have convinced myself that my twiching, buzzing, ringing in my ear, vision disterbances, and mild headache are due to a tumor. What do you all think?? If not, and it's just BFS then this disease it soooo scary. Please tell me your thoughts on this......
 
I am not a doctor and this is not a diagnosis but I would venture to say that you do not have a brain tumor. Do you drink alot of coffee or smoke?
 
No, I can't I am pregnant. I will drink a coke or glass of tea occasionaly b/c I keep thinking it will help my headache.
 
Sugar and caffiene are not much good for helping a headache. My girlfriend is pregnant and she has been getting headaches quite often, perhaps it's something to do with that.
 
have always had tinnitus to some degree but it ramped up for sure about the time i noticed my calves for the 1st time, about a year ago. enough that i went to an audio doc. tinnitus is very common and usually indicative of nothing other than being annoying.of course maybe i just ramped up and paid more attention to something that was always there. BFS has a way of making us do that.
 
I can echo the previous post - I have had tinnitus for several years (dx by a ENT specialist). Since my BFS symptoms spiked, I have also noticed a significant increase in my tinnitus. What was a low-grade, consisent background buzz has turned into a much higher frequency (and apparently higher volume) noise, that has a tendency to spike and change tone at times. I guess there's always the chance that I too am only really thinking that the tinnitus is changing as I am so focused on every little thing right now. At any rate, I'm chalking this one up to BFS too...Chris
 
12Drifter12s are common with people here? That might explain a bit too because I've had floaters for at leat 10 years. Been checked out a couple times for it but they were nothing serious they don't seem to be getting any worse.One thing to keep in perspective is that brain tumors that begin in the brain are extremely rare. If you had another cancer that metasticized into the brain, you'd likely have known about it long ago.As a man, I can't imagine the stress your body and mind is under with being pregnant. The simplest explanation is that you are incredibly stressed out. I can swear to you that the strangest things happen to you when you're stressed out. Learn stress management techniques and your symptoms will likely get better if not go away.
 
I have had Tinnitus for a lot longer than I have been on this board and wierd visual symptoms too, which are most likely migraine auras without the headaches.I am presently wading through neurology textbooks, all I can say is that it gets very very complicated the more you read.
 
I have had tinnitus one-two years before twitching including visual sensations. Sensations were like colours changes, light and dark blue when I was in bed. They told me this is all about cervical circulation in vertabrae (spelling?). Visuals sensation gone so far however tinnitus stays in left ear.
 
I know it's so easy to put this down to anxiety but.... I had very similar symptoms not so long ago when I really had a heightened sense of chronic anxiety. I've managed to somehow control my anxiety(not always though) and a lot of the symptoms you've mentioned have all but disappeared, especially the buzzing. Maybe worth considering. I think constant worrying can be crippling.Maria
 
I am certain as certain can be that anxiety is not the cause, certainly not of tinnitus, however anxiety like everything else plays a subtle part in everything. For one thing, one can either focus on things like tinnitus, visual snow, twitching, buzzing or whatever and there is a sort of multiplier effect that the more you notice them, the more you concentrate on them, the worse they appear to be.Put it this way, if you break a bone, it hurts, and if you can divert your mind from it, it hurts less, but if you mope about it, it hurts more, none of which alters the fact that you have broken a bone.
