I've lurked around reading this forum for quite some time, about 6 months, which has been really helpful. Everyone seems so knowledgeable and many of you explain how I feel to a T.
I'm a 40 year old male (being a child of the 80s explains my pen name!). I began twitching Spring of this year. I had flu syptoms that went away after a few days. But I was left with a sense of weakness in the legs. I figured it was just from whatever bug I had. Then I noticed twitches in my pinky. Like many of you I googled and found PD --s and -s and I freaked. Soon the twitches were everywhere and have continued since.
Most disturbing to me is the buzzing in my hamstring that is nearly constant. Seems so weird. Even before this I felt a twitch every now and then, but never buzzing. My web surfing certainly was not reassuring. My PCP thinks it's a combo of anxiety and whatever bug I had. I had gone through a very stressful time prior to getting sick. So he could be right.
But I can't shake the feeling that I have -s or --s due to the buzzing and what feels like weakness.
I'm afraid to go to a neurologist, but don't know whether to believe my PCP.
Does anyone out there get frequent limb buzzing with the twitches? Would appreciate any input to my case. Thanx
