Hi everybody! I am new to this forum, but I have more than 2 weeks reading all your experiences...First of all I would like to say, that this forum is very helpfull, I have learned so many things in two weeks...My name is Julie (30 years old), I am from Belgium but I am leaving in Mexico for more than 7 years, so please do not prest too much attention to my english, I will try to do my best 
I am suffering GAD and panic attacks since I was 19 years old, with up and down...Last year my panic attacks came back, I thought for few month that I had Parkinson because I was always shaking, from outside and inside. I had a very very high level of anxiety for month before everything started. Finally I had eye lid twitches for 2 weeks, then 3 months later, I remember perfectly I was watching tv in my sofa and I felt for the very first time twitches all over my body for hours.On the beginning I had few days without twitching and others days twitching like crazy. I was so worried and guess what?? Our dear, lovely google present me this horrible *** that I even did not know before!!!!My stress, my anxiety, my panic attacks are permanent since then. My symptoms are worst than before ans that is the reason of my presence here, I am so so afraid. 1) end of March 2012 (8 months ago) first twitches all over my body2) in May hot spot, my left calf, alyways, always in the same place, almost 24/7 for 5 months3) twitches all over my body, like pop corn effect, but 90% are in my legs4) 2 months ago twitches has started in my right calf aswell, when I put my calves side to each other it is like a symphony!! But THE WORST FOR ME:5) Now I have more than a months with strange feelings in my both legs-------> I can not even describe this feeling, it is like I have a internal, very deep and low or weak twitches muscles. When I am seated or when I am relaxing in my sofa, i can feel that for hours, in different part of the thight but MOST OF THE TIME BEHIND MY THIGHT I am so afraid because a read that the *** fasciculations are not visible, deep and weak!! Why do I feel that now?? As I say I had twitches for many months in my left calf (especially one spot) so I am afraid now that it is progressing to my thigh. It is vibrations? Tremors? Fasciculations? I am lost. :-( THIS IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY , ALMOST ALL THE TIME MUCH MORE THAN THE "NORMAL TWITCHES". I even almost dont twitch except there-------> I have the buzz as well, most of the time in my legs, and feet it comes and goes, few seconds. 6) I have dorsal foot pain (left again), I have MORE than a month with this foot pain, in the morning it hurts me but after few steps the pain goes away. But ALWAYS when a step strongly and put my foot on the left side it hurts so badly (metartase thing, tendons, muscle???)-------->Ii saw a chiropractor but he told me that could be my shoes, he did not feel something broke inside, and thought could be 2 small muscles (WHAAAAT THE HELL??!!!)... then a saw a podiatrist and she told me it was a plantar facsitis but when i read on internet the symptoms and the pain it's very different to what I feel. I am scared about this pain beacause I read once that a person discover he had -**** because a foot pain. I saw a neurologist two weeks ago, he told me that my twitches and strange feeling in my legs was because of my anxiety, i did not think I needed a IMR. He recomand me to see a psychiatric instead... One think I am concerned as well, during the neurological examen, the doctor told me that i had hyper/active reflexes, but it was nothing to be worried about, it was caused by my anxiety, can you tell more about hyper/active refelxes? Is that a symptom of ***? For my foot pain he did not even prest attentionSometimes I don't know if I really trust the doctors here, just because I am not in my country...I need your opinion.... I take xanax to relax but even with that i feel all what I just wrote.Regards, Julie.
