I will have to admit that I've been on this site looking this up off and on for the past three and a half years. My twitching started (at age 23) after I had a misscarriage and a rare case of toxemia. I had to wait a few months to go through extensive testing and was stressed to the max. The next thing I know I start twitching. Naturally, three and a half years ago I get on the internet and see ALS. I'm freaked.
However, after two years of twitching I went to the neurologist who said they were benign. He did a thorough examination and I had an MRI but never an EMG.
The reason why I decided to post this message is to let you all know that I'm one more twitcher out there in the world. For some reason I'm having some anxiety right now and am looking for some piece of mind.
About two years ago I let the ALS fear go. I decided to get on with my life after constant worrying, crying spells, et cetera. Me and my husband now would like to start trying to have a family. Naturally, I think what if I get pregnant and my twitches get worse. So I decide to get on-line and look up pregnancy with BFS. Then I see these posts (Carol) that freak me out. Now, that I'm freaked, I start twitching more and have noticed muscle cramps that will just last a few seconds and then go away. Am I freaking out or nothing? I would love some positive input.
PS -- My twitches are all over, some good days, some bad. These cramps also just kind of migrate all over. They're not so bad that I drop to the floor or anything. It just seems once I started freaking out about everything, I notice muscle cramps. I also exercise daily.
Any input would be great.
