Body Jerks & High Stress Levels

[YodoTribbles]

Hi there,

I have been away awhile. Lurking on my bad days.I have put away the ms scare for this week and am on to a new one.I occassionaly have body jerks. I have had them before but not in a while.The kind that can move my foot. They seem to come and go through out the day and when I am at rest. I notice them at night also. I am always under a high stress level due to my fears and wonder if this is the cause.I also have the twitches migrating tingling (not in a while) and positional numbness.I also have a tight pulling sensation that comes and goes on the right side of my face which I believe is due to my tmj and trigger points in my face back and neck. Please help I am fearing a brain tumor.I feel myself spiraling downward and need someone to catch me. Please respond.

Thanks! Jilly

While I do not experience your situation exactly, I did have the brain tumor scare originally with severe migranes and penetrating pains, tingling and eventually I progressed to the twitching. My brain MRI was completely normal, but scans of my neck and back showed compression of nerves and some disc matter out of place. I suggest rather than do what we do best and try to play doctor, you get in to a neurologist asap and resolve your worries. I can add, too, that I have read many posts of those with BFS who have the jerking response. Restless leg syndrome does this as well. My sister in law looses nights of sleep with it and it is not fatal or awful.
Please be good to yourself, don't repeat negative messages and worries. MANY benign things mimic a bunch of more serious ones. Chances are highly in your favor that you have an explainable and benign condition.

Be at peace.
