yeah, yeah, this is how it is. One day, all happy, happy that the ENT said twiching happens to some people and I could go to a neuro, but it would probably be a waste of money since they cannot help the twitching; two days later I have my tongue stuck out looking in the mirror. 
I did not say to the ENT that I twitch like non-stop in my tongue. I wonder if that would have changed his response?? I look at it and there is a flicker about every 15 seconds. Sometimes it gets so "tired" that the center of it feels almost tense. Anyways, is this a "normal" BFS thing or is the fact that it is so continual a "worry"??? It seems to have started, at least noticeably, after I began taking antidepressants FOR the twitching!!! I was on Zoloft, now I am on Wellbutrin.
So.......is it worth a trip to the neuro for an EMG of the tongue?? If so, does it hurt terribly. Any reassurance would be tremendous. I am, like most of you, just pooped from the worry. Ahhh, to go back to life as it was; don't we all appreciate what we "had" all the more!!!!!!
Oh, and I have had 2 EMG's of limbs-one leg, one arm, but I have only really been twitching 3+ months. Last EMG in Oct.
Thanks, guys, what can I say about the safest place I know to vent about this situation. Hoping for uplifting news. Until then, I'm on the roller coaster....
