I tell you that your story is exactly like mine was at the beginning. I had chills, stiffness, etc. just as you are talking about. I also, unfortunately, wasted months of my life in absolute fear. I could not rest either. In fact, this was after my neuro apt. which went very well but I slipped into a deep depression and cycle of fear.
You must first get some sleep. I could not even rest a night on ambien. Ultimately they gave me dissolvable remeron which totally creamed me and I slept like never before.
Look, this is going to be a tough game. The issues are more mentally challenging than physically. There is a 99.9999% chance that NOTHING is wrong with you - you just twitch. Same as hair falling out, lipomas forming, whatever. Changes in the body that just happen but are benign.
Regarding als, which I am certain you fear as we all did or do, this is not the presentation. I have read way too many of these cases and they all start with weakness and weakness is the hallmark symptom which you do not have. I found NO cases of als starting with twitching. None nada zippo.
Get some sleep meds, rest, and relax knowing that you will find all to be well. meanwhile, we are here to support you and inform you. You can PM me anytime you want and I will respond quickly.
peace to you and I will hold you in prayer tonight.
