Don't worry about your tongue--and don't look at it in the mirror! I did this, and I swore my tonge was fasiculating against my will....and then I asked my husband and my son to stick their tongues out so I could examine them. Turns out, holding your tongue still with no movement is difficult for EVERYONE! I think StephG22 has some good thoughts on this too. There are lots of people here who also get true tongue twitches--and this is still common with BFS, so even if you do feel actual 'pops' in your tongue--not to worry.
As far as the spacey feeling: that's anxiety. Foggy head and jelly legs are very classic symptoms. A lot of us on this board often feel like one side of our bodies are 'sluggish' compared the the other. I get this a lot with my left leg...like sometimes it feels about five pounds heavier than my right.
Not to worry--it's all anxiety, and your anxiety levels are heightened right now naturally because the twitching is really nerve wracking, and it takes a while to truly get used to the point where it doesn't work you up.
I think that when we start microanalyzing our bodies, we tend to throw ourselves off....even a slight change in breathing pattern can cause 'hyperventilation' feelings without us realizing it. When you feel spacey, just tell yourself you can ride it out (don't fight it) and then totally focus on doing something that will occupy you. I find that physical activities like playing with my kids or doing household chores keep me occupied until the 'spell' has passed. I used to just lay on the couch hoping the spacey feeling would go away--and because I just laid there thinking about it, it took too long and sometimes got worse.
Don't put your activities on hold until you feel better. You have to live right through these weird feelings. My dad had terrible anxiety, and he gave me a lot of this good advice. He told me that he used to get so worked up and feeling so light-headed that he wouldn't want to go out with my mom even for a relaxing dinner outing. Then he'd force himself to go, and he'd be feeling better by the time they got to the restaurant. Point being that if he had chosen to wait to go out until he felt better--it's likely he never would have gone. If anxiety ever keeps you from doing something because you don't feel good, or you're afraid that you might 'wig-out' while you're out somewhere, then that's the start of agorophobia, which is fairly common to people prone to anxiety.
So, don't get frustrated. Just ride out these spells knowing they will pass. That type of confidence is what you need to strive for. Once you've tackled that--you'll be able to conquer anxiety. Then the spells should come less and less frequently. There's an awesome book called "The Anxiety Disease" which talks about this very well.
You can beat this.

)) team. A packed weekend is perhaps what I'm needing, and I'll be doing my best not to think about any of these twitches, etc!
