Hi, everyone. I've been twitching for 7 1/2 months. However, a couple weeks ago I noticed atrophy around my collar bone and below, plus, I have been having spells where my throat muscles freeze up for days and I have difficulty swallowing. I am clinging to this website for all it's worth because of all the support. Please, everyone, whoever you worship--ask him/her to watch over me today as I go through my appointment. It's not until 3:15 (my mom is going with me). I'll post tomorrow and let you know if I got a diagnosis or tests scheduled. Thanks Everyone! Carol in Maryland.
