I saw my GP today to tell him about the horrible anxiety and depression I have been in for the past 3 weeks due to a new symptom in my shoulder where I have very fine twitching in the same muscle fiber that just will not go away. I have had emotional breakdowns and the only thing I can think of is that I definitely have *** and I have shun my famliy and placed this buredn on them as well. He pretty much told me there was nothing he could do but wait for my neuro appt on July 28, however he agreed that he would like to test my upper body strength at my request and check reflexes. He checked my reflexes and said they were all very normal, no brisk reflexes!! THANK GOD! Secondly he did the strength test by having me squeeze his fingers for approximately 20-30 seconds. He actually said he felt that my left hand, which is the side I have had the twitching felt stronger, now the real test. He has me resist against him up with my deltoids and down with my deltoids and side to side against his resistancte. After doing this he said that he felt there was zero assymetrical weakness and he said he was really trying to concentrate on the differing arms so he could be sure. Afterwards he said I am pretty sure 99.9% sure that you are fine but the neuro should definitely provide the ultimate feedback that I was looking for. He also prescribed me to some Fluoxetine for anxiety/depression/OCD and Cyclobenzaprine for muscle relaxants. I just couldn't wait for the neuro to test me and I hope and pray that the EMG will be clean, I can't imagine my wife having to raise our two kids, one with mild autism, on her own, what a burden!!! I hope that I can calm down and hopefully my symptoms will as well!!! I know fascics without weakness is usually not ***, but you have all read the stories on the internet and I just hope that this is not me. Thanks to all and I can not wait until July 28, either way it will be one of the most important days in my life!!
