I was skimming thru the archives and read a topic from Jenn about PHN.
Could someone tell me what that is?
She discusses how she doesn't think anxiety is the cause of twitching and I think in some cases shes right but I believe mine is from some form of stress. I was a COMPLETELY healthy person until my brother passed away 7 years ago from cancer at 25.....after that it started with immense panic attacks....years later it moved to severe IBS.....and now it has moved to BFS.....all of which are so called syndromes.
I have had every test (EKG, colonoscopy, MRI, EEG, elaborate blood tests)
and all came back normal.
After I had a colonoscopy I immediately began to adapt to my stomach problems but I'll have to admit that these neurological problems are harder to adapt to.
I know I am a MAJOR hypochondriac, and I fight it tooth and nail everyday. The other night my husband was falling asleep and a muscle in his leg was twitching like crazy and I said to him "don't you feel that?"
And he said " I feel it all the time but I don't focus on it." And my sister says her face and lips go numb all the time...tingle...blah...blah...blah.
I think there are many reasons why we twitch...and everyone is different.
I have thought all night that I have a tumor in my head because I'm trying to get over a cold and the left side of my head hurts and is sensitive to touch!
I focus on myself a little too much.
I'm in a band and when I'm on stage or at band practice I never experience these symptoms. It's only when I'm at home. Ain't that somethin?
Sorry this is so long...but if you don't think anxiety has to do with it then why is stress the leading cause of pretty much all diseases?
Anxiety comes from stress.....panic comes from anxiety....anxiety does cause many unwanted physical symptoms.
Now how do we get rid of them??????!!!!!????!!!!!??????!!!!???
Wish I knew the answer to that.
