Happy New Year! Recovery is Possible!

[Amaranth]

Just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and that recovery is possible! One of the first steps is staying off of the Internet and obsessing about your health! I've worked very hard for months and I can now say that I don't have any more twitches than my husband! I don't come here very often as it only causes me anxiety. I'm happy to share my process if anyone is interested. Just send me a PM. Best wishes to everyone!!

Hi Amaranth, that is good news. Congratson that. I am curious: what about the other symptoms?. I am not anxious anymore , and I don't care about the twitching because I know it is bening, But still I occasionally have a strong hand tremor, my arm is still vibrating for 6 months now and I have a lot of pain. How long did it take for he other symptoms to vanish?

That is great news! I rarely come back to this site but I also fully recovered about 2 and a half years ago. I twitched for 2 years and pretty much had the same symptoms as everyone else. I even had an EMG that was a little "dirty". From memory there was some deinervation (?? if that's the word) in my right leg which completely freaked me out at the time. My worrying did me more harm than good so I decided to get help for my anxiety and with a lot of help from my counsellor my anxiety reduced and in turn my symptoms started to reduce in intensity and frequency until they fizzled out entirely. I think I had the vibrating buzzing feeling hang around the most but it didn't bother me. That eventually disappeared too. I hope both Amaranth's recovery and my recovery gives you hope that twitching can disappear
