Longtime Friend Reunited!

Hey sherlockholmesz2!

Long time, no see. Sounds like you're doing great, glad to hear that. I'm at 2 years, 7 months myself. Feels like an eternity sometimes.

I'm happy to see you back, if only to check in. Take care.

sherlockholmesz2!

A welcomed flash from the past vet. So glad to hear your experience is turning out well.

Keep up keeping up!!! A bunch of us are finally turning the corner - for me 30 months, and it's finally taking hold (a lot of that was my own pigheadedness though!!). We'll get there!

Now go do more of that living thing!!

Hey sherlockholmesz2, thanks for sharing the awesome news. It is a great feat when life can interupt the twitching and not the other way around.

JG, what is with penning only a few sentences? That is an appallingly short post on your part. Have you run out of things to say?

Perhaps you and I might pen our prose in Haiku from now on.

Oh, and sherlockholmesz2...(sorry, the haiku got me all distracted, lol...) glad to hear you are doing so great. That's freaking awesome. Thanks for sharing your positive message with us.

Blessings,
Sue

WOW!

I am so impressed! I remember all the 5-7-5 syllable stuff, but I had Mr. Neider for 11th grade english and he was so cute that not one girl in that class ever wrote a respectable haiku (or one that could be read in public). Sorry that I missed that skill.

I really enjoyed all of yours though!

Congratulations sherlockholmesz2, and it's really nice that you came back to share. It makes all the difference in the world when "old" twitchers come back to post on how well they are doing. Of course, some of us (like myself) never leave...so that we can be a daily reminder, lol.

Hi, Whatnext and other "old" friends!

It's been just over 2 years of twitching/buzzing/shaking for me.

I go for a few weeks where I think, "Great, this just might be going away a bit," but then I have a few weeks where I think, "Shoot, is this WORSE than when it started?"

It's a constant battle, trying to ignore the constellation of symptoms that come & go. Hard not to worry when the wrist and ankle get wimpy and weak-feeling for a few days, or the arms make tiny jerking motions of their own accord, or the fingers visibly spazz, or the foot cramps when I just look at it wrong, or the nose wiggles like a bunny's, or....

But when I realize with relief that I'm still around and doing everything I EVER did, even though I don't feel as comfy in my own body, then I'm truly grateful. And grateful for this site. And grateful for y'all!

Every once in awhile I check new posts, and I've gotten to the point where I don't see anything one or the other of us old-timers hasn't experienced to a greater or lesser extent, at one time or another.
