The first tongue twitch I had was the day my daughter was born 4 yrs ago..felt a pulling on the tip of my tongue and they lasted for about 2 weeks a few times a day. Then they went away, and now I get them once every couple months..just a couple pulls here and there...but the actual visual twitch is very small...but it is there. I too was scared...but after 4 years, I am almost sure they are benign...I am now dealing with twitching in the soft palate..just above my uvula....not a fan at all.
