Scared About Recurring Symptoms

[UncommonSense]

I'm scared yet again. My symptoms seem to leave and come back every few weeks. Is this normal?I started noticing a real strong tremor in my middle right finger in November through mid-December...and then it went away and I forgot about it. Now it's back. I also have a buzzing or pins/needles feeling in my right leg completely randomly, but around the same times that my finger tremors. I also experience the same thing in the right side of my back. It's almost like the feeling you get when your leg falls asleep, but only lasts for a couple seconds in "waves" - best way I can describe this.I have an essential tremor all over (hands/ankles/neck), but the tremor in my middle right finger feels worse. After using it in a certain position it sometimes feels like a magnetic force tries to keep it in that position, which is quite scary. It also will tremor back and forth for 1-2 seconds randomly on occasion. Seems like weakness, when it could just be awkwardness or something. Not sure. But quite scary.I also have a tight feeling that won't go away in my right leg. I've been having this on/off for a few years now, also weird.Does anyone experience these symptoms here? I've started freaking out again about *** and **. Any advice/support/people that can relate would be great right now.

I was having a time when fingers on my right hand would seem to move on their own. I mentioned it to the neurologist who was completely unconcerned. He did notice a slight tremor in this hand but he literally shrugged it off.

I have movement in the fingers of my right hand almost constantly. My fingers on both hands tingle, like they are falling asleep, and the palm of my hand fasiculates 24/7. The feeling of pins and needles as well as numbness across the middle part of my back and shoulder blade comes and goes. The bottom of my right foot, in the arch, falls asleep. My toes tingle. My neck fasiculates, My cheek fasiculates, My butt fasiculates, my private parts fasiculate. I have jolts, quivers (internal/external), uncontrolled movement, cramping, aches, stiffness, fatigue... The list goes on and on. Have been told by a nuero twice after physicals, blood tests, MRI and EMG, that I have Benign Fasiculations. Now, he has never said Benign Fasiculation Syndrome, but I am assuming it is all inclusive. My wife thinks I am insane, I am having a heard time concentrating at work, which causes me to fear for my job... I am a nervous wreck most of the time. I take Buspirone for anxiety, Ambien for sleep and a couple glasses of Merlot for mental well being. The angel on my right tells me to believe a veteran nuerologist, who has 30 years experience, they devil on my left tells me everyone is missing something and I am surely going to die. Back to the question, everything that you describe I also have, plus some in spades. Sounds to me, pretty typical of what about 99% of the other people here have to say about their condition/lives.

Thomaspickles, you describe what a lot of us feel. Nothing uncommon about any of what you describe. The tremors are the ones I worry about though, as I don't wanna have an increase likelihood of coming down with Parkinson's at a later time. It can be scary having this weird syndrome.

Hi ThomasYou mentioned that you have had a tight feeling that won't go away in the right leg on/off for a few years now. SNAP! I have had this for about a year now and I find it almost more scary than the twitching because it feels as if it might be the beginning of weakness - I feel as if it makes me limp, although I know that I amnot actually limping. It is reassuring to know that I am not the only person with this!Hi SilverBullet and welcome!It sounds as if you have had fasciculation for along time and that the symptoms are currently flaring up due to stress. After having had this for so long, I think it would be incredibly unlikely that there is anything else wrong with you bit I am sure a reassuring visit to a doctor will give you that extra piece of mind. Good luckRegardsSimon
