Chronic Worrying: Twitching's Aftermath

[AussieSurvivor]

Yes i was doing OK, very positive and I think my twitching was not so bad..then a little bit of chronic ( over about 3-4 days) worry/stress..and bang!...and I am back to where I was 3 months ago plus a bit more. Twitching everywhere and new spots. Face as well now. Before it was mainly my legs ( and not as severe as it is now), but face is starting to catch up. Yes i am depressed, and a little defeatist. How can someone who is a chronic worrier- it is ingrained into their genetic make up- ever cope with BFS. As much as I try to control my worry/anxiety ( and I am medicated), I cannot..and the BFS comes on with avengence, and it depresses me. And to make matters worse my IBS is in 'partnership' with my BFS..so a double whammy. Dont want to know what my my BP is doing( and I medicated for that as well!) Sleep patterns ( and amount of) have been a bit ordinary as well, which probably doesn't help..but I am not taking any more pills!any solutions/suggestions??not so cheery...Rodger

I can worry with the best of them and have had twitching everywhere (including face and tongue) for 18 months. I take lots of B vitamims and prescription strength l-carnitine to help my nerves and muscles and klonopin for symptom relief (never more than 1 mg a day). I also force myself to exercise regardless of how I feel at least three days a week. This formula has kept me going pretty well. I just remember I am not alone with this strange condition and that time will eventually make me feel more comfortable that what I have is annoying but manageable for the long haul even if it does not go away.
