I have been having constant tongue twitching for almost 2 months now. I am getting an emg on monday afternoon. I would REALLY apperciate any and all prayers that everything is ok. I have a little boy I am SO in love with and another little boy due in feb. I cant emagine not being with them. All of this has brought me to a very dark place and I pray not only that the EMG is completely normal, but that I will be able to move on after this. I can't be wasting my time on earth like this, its a *beep* shame. Makes me cry everyday. I pray all is well and I can go back to being my happy self (while seeking counseling for my medical anxiety of course!). I really apperciate the prayers and I will be on here tuesday to update since my apt is late monday and we have a 4.5 hour drive! Ive never been so nervous in my entire life.
 
I'm sure that your EMG will be fine, and I hope this EMG will bring some closure for you. The worst part of all this is the anxiety, I feel so bad for you that you are having to go through this anxiety while also being pregnant. How hard.The EMG will come back normal, and when it does please believe it and put this behind you and never look back.
 
I totally agree with everything luckyandy said. We have spoken alot Shawna and I know your situation, I promise you are going to be fine, no worries.Many prayers will be thrown your way and all will be well by Monday evening :D) You know where to find me if you need me. Chin up girl, you are ok, promise :D) Your friendRobynn :D)
 
Good luck Shawna I know you find it hard to believe now but you will be fine and your emg will come back clean. We have all been where you are now and it is never easy to wait to get the test finally overwith but once you do it will all be worth it. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I know you will have a wonderful life with your children. Mary
 
i am sure your emg will be fine!!i started twitching in hand and tongue when i was pregnant and i had the most dreadful time in my life.... had an emg which was fine and a good neuro who, because of my anxiety, referred me to a special counselling programme for pregnant women.today i have an absolutely adorable 8 months old little boy and i am much better. my tongue still twitches from time to time (besides all the other twitches..) but it doesn´t scare me any more. it´ll take some time but you will reach that point also, believe me even if you can´t imagine it now!!my thoughts are with you!!
 
Thanks everyone! Especially Robynn and Rob who have talked me down numerous times:) The emg was completely normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you the tongue part was less than pleasant. They go from under your chin all the way through your tongue and then he also did the side of my tongue as a bonus........ouch! He also did my leg, back, eyebrow, and lip. Never heard of a lip emg, but hey, I twitch there too so why not!? So my 24/7, 2 month, twitching tongue dent is I guess, well............BFS! And this Nuero actually brought up BFS to me! Thats 2 of mine that believe in it! I am still in shock and getting used to the fact that a neuro actually said 99.9 percent sure I am fine! I guess after 2 neuros, 1 gp, and a clean EMG I should really be able to let this go right!?!?! I sure hope so! But I do feel much better, and thanks everyone for the support!
 
Awesome news! Another proof that tongue twitching CAN be benign (despite what literature stupidily says). I have just returned from professor of neurology at our university who did very thorogh clinical exam, looking at my tongue etc. He says he sees benign fasciculations quite often and regarding the tongue...after 30 years of practice, he does not wonder. My exam was normal except for symmetrical higher reflexes, not hyperreflexia, just overall higher which is normal.From your previous post I was not sure, you feel these tongue twitches? I mostly do.
 
Well yeah she is or was feeling them, thats part of the reason she could not put this out of her head and just ignore it, because she could feel her tongue moving 24/7.Congrats Shawna, I knew you would pull through just fine, and yes, you can feel safe letting all this ALS worry go. You're good, and EMG was clean and no more worries. :D) Your friendRobynn :D)
 
Prayers answered!Now have that baby.... and please put all this anxiety behind you!You are in the clear....He stuck a needle all the way through your chin into your tongue for gods sake! ;) You are fine. BFS = nothing to worry about.
 
Your biggest challenge to come will be trying to determine if its your baby kicking or if your having stomach twitches. According to my wife, my daughter felt like a flutter when she was kicking and I have fluttering feelings in my stomach and chest all the time. Congrats on the results. Try not to start doubting the results in the weeks to come when new, weird symptoms hit. I was so guilty of that and SWORE I was a special case.
 
I haven't been on here for some time....I've been looking through some posts, and honestly, I have to tell you girls and guys supporting people here how wonderful you all are. You're all saints.
