Facing Fear with EMG Results

[jsageurge]

Lilith – The only way to get on with your life is to realize the truth about your situation. Your tongue is twitching for exactly the same reason that your other muscles are twitching, and many on this board have reported this. You have been fearing *** for months, and your mind has become your enemy. It has been proven not to be the case by EMG. A twitch starts in a new place and your mind is just naturally doing what you have been allowing it to do for months—focus on your fear of ***. Only now, it is dwelling on an even more unlikely scenario of bulbar onset (which is only 10% of all *** cases). So your body and mind are doing their thing—twitching and worrying. Only you can cure yourself now, by forcing your mind to focus on the truth. You have benign twitching. Allowing any other thought or fear to engage you is unreasonable, but very easy to do, unless you make the effort. Every time this fear enters your mind, tell yourself the truth—you do not have ***, and it has been proven. Focus on that, and focus on enjoying your life. Make it your goal to rid yourself of this fear by Christmas.

Have a Merry Christmas,
-Bill

Hi, I know how you feel I have exactly what you have described to a
T. My symptoms come and go also but have them everyday with my
tongue it started twitching a month ago it never twitched before that
and I have been at it for 9 months now. I started having problems with
my tongue after I was constantly checking it stretching it out tighten it
up touching my nose with it. I wish I would have left it alone. I didnt have
problems with it until then. now it aches and burns plus twitches. I also
notice my words dont come out right at times too. But try not to focus
on it put your mind elsewhere. I've been doing some singing alot to make
sure it is still functioning fine lord help my family they all tell me to shut up
the only thing that they can tell is that Im way off of tune but I am
going to keep practicen it makes me feel better and I have the pleasure
of torturen them for awhile.

Lilith,
Let me tell you one short story of me to show you how either mind and anxieties or your examinations can drive you crazy:

I have the “normal” anamnesis like all others here have it. I have recognized some twitches in the calves and started to concentrate on it, which it only makes it worse. My father had *** so this has speed up my fears almost unbearable.

So I decided to visit my neuro. ONE day before my date I saw a video clip in the internet about an examination of an *** patient. The poor man has to open his mouth and was hardly able to show his tongue – it was just a spongy thing in his mouth.

Of course I ran to the next mirror and stick my tongue far out – and thank god it was calm – no fasics. The next day before the neuro`s date I started to examine my tongue again (which I have done it approx. 10 times before) and it was twitching !!!! The only thing that prevents me from jumping out the window was the fact that the day before everything was O.K.

My neuro said that some tongues are twitching and some not. After my visit I have asked my wife to show me her tongue and it was also twitching a bit (but not so much as mine). So I have tried to cool down. It took me several weeks to stop this nasty thing.

As I know from my father (who had this bulbar sh...) he never talked about fasics! There are two other symptoms – he chocked all the time during eating some meal and when he spoke to us he babbled like me after drinking 12 bottles of beer in a short time.

What I have learned from this is:
- doing exercises to “confirm the strength” will make everything worse
- it is amazing how your mind can take over control of your body

If there is something like “healing by good thoughts” there is also a “sick by bad thoughts”.

I assume that my tongue cramped after all this unusal exercises of sticking out ! I made the following relaxation exercise – twist your head to one end carefully and swallow – then to the other end and swallow. In my case something inside made “click” and the twitch were gone. Don`t stick your tongue out too far – this is not a usual movement!

So I hope that this could help you – now I have to concentrate on other good things before my twitches will go worse after writing this.

thanks a lot for your answers!
I really messed a lot around with my tongue the last weeks, always controlling it, making tests....this really made it worse.
I will try to stop this from now on. I hope it will get better.
But it is so hard when i feel this electrical small hits in my tongue, and i can see it in the mirrow contracting, when i catch it in that moment.
so it is certainly no imagination.
Sometime i feel a little cramp at the tip of my tongue and afterwards some strange burning and metallic feeling.
It is hard to ignore that.

ok i try on concentrating on the thruth, i have no other syptoms, so it is bfs.

and i will take some Benzodiazepines to calm me down.

bye and thanks that you are there.
