Exploring Stress/Mind Connection with Fasciculations

[Savanturn]

I just wanted to share one interesting thing. Since my fasciculations were widespread but often create hotspots (especially arms), I gave up an idea that is stress/mind related. I thought its not possible, I had some worries but I was not stressed or even anxious. Last week I had bad hotspot in my arm, pretty annoying. And 2 days ago my underlying worry that was still on the back of my mind (related to my future life) was resolved. I felt great relief and was just OK. That was 2 days ago and I cannot remember any twitch since then! I really stopped twitching, even when Im trying to induce it. Im convienced it is related, because I twitch for 2 years and nothing helped me.I will see in the next days but this is at least very interesting.

The most interesting is the fact that its not only improvement, its total! I did not twitch last 2 days, that was impossible within last 2 years. Im very curious whather the twitching will return.

I've seen that happen here many times; especially if you are below the age of forty. The fascic go away and don't return. Congrats! ) Basso

We are in Chester, and it's a lovely little town. The turkey farm just reopened as a steak house. We moved here a year ago from South Jersey. I think my husband picked this town specifically because it's 30 minutes from Short Hills! I have yet to get to the mall because I'm scared that once I do I'll become addicted! Does shopping relieve stress? Just trying to stay Emilyomousee to the topic : )
