Hi guys,It was short sharp shocks and sharp thin needles ....Ok so the doctor was great actually, very reassuring and said everything was normal with my nerves and muscles and not to worry about twitching anymore as people twitch and the more you focus on it you will twitch more and cause stress !! He asked if my tongue was twitching and he looked at it and said I can hardly even see it, don't worry!I am so anxious I asked are those noises ok doctor and he said I will be worried if there's no noise lolHe did say I should look at ways to reduce / eliminate my health anxiety...I feel reassured and happy that he is happy with the results ! I need to tackle my anxiety issues big time !!
 
I hadn't read much about the noises they make but mine made alot of noise and even my right calf seemed to make a lot of noise and he asked my to push my foot up and down etc but I thinking was noisy even when I was relaxed.. It kinda freaked me out a bit as that's the only time he really got me to move etcBut at the very end the most important thing he said was everything looks normal ! He did say he is passing my results to the neuro who requested the exam and that he might keep an eye on me ... That freaked me out a bit too ... But he isint going to say everything is ok if it ain't ... Geeez health anxiety and the what ifs !!!
 
ah i told you so! delighted for you..go have a few more glasses of wine tonight :unsure: loloh and dont be worrying about doctor sayin''keep an eye on you'' i work with doctors day in day out and they all say that to their patients!!i have neuro app next friday,it cant come quick enough!
 
Thanks grapepie !! It's bizzare BFS .... I mean I can sit and watch my calves twitching away and I can feel some and see some infant feel too, really active and its ok :) The doctor said if anything was present the emg would see it as its a very accurate testing device ! It made me feel great ! It will prob take a little time for my anxiety to go away as its been a rough lot of weeks !
 
I think I was as there was noise even when I wasn't moving in the calves !! I see more than I can feel in my calves, there's so many I can't seem to feel them individually but I know I'm twitching as its a crawly feeling or something, kinda soft little twitches ..I freaked out a little though as I thought it was bent to be quiet and I head the static and tapping noises !! I don't care what I heard as long as I know it's ok and he said ok !! I am such a health anxiety person !!
 
Great to see nothing bad had revealed :)noise is an enhansed sound of smallest electrical discharges in the muscles. some muscles in the jaw and neck can make them so loud you can hear that without any device (as low humming and cracking noise when turning your head or openin jaw).it is good that your muscles make noise - it means they are alive. I also read that some experience doctros can distinguish whether the medoly of your muscles is normal or abnormal, but in any case the fact of having muscle melody meand you are alive. Dead muscles do not make any noise.
 
Thanks so much everyone who takes the time to reply and I hope new comers to this forum searching for answers will get something from my experience and advice you all have given over and over again on various threads !!BFS Burger ... your right about the anxiety, I know it will take time and I know it didn't suddenly pop out of nowhere either as I had a number of slight anxiety attacks over the past 12 months or more, its something I have had but as you say it appears to get amplified by BFS.I noticed that if I ate some types of Indian takeaway food that shortly after I would get a feeling of adrenalin rushes and feel very anxious, I put it down to the MSG and sugar etc but i have read that others get it from eating Chinese food so its seems to be apparent in others.Sometimes I could be talking to people then all of a sudden have this strange feeling of not really being there or that its like a dream, the first time I had that was about 15 years ago and it freaked me out and lasted a while but now I can shake that pretty fast within a few minutes but I get that from time to time.Sometimes when I am walking the ground feels funny too and I feel light headed and anxious... I get periods of slight vertigo also... The list is long !I have had these things way before twitching and I get them every now and again but they must be down to anxiety. If I tell people I am anxious they would say "what are you anxious about as your doing well" etc and "you have a lovely family" etc but I try to explain that`s not how it works... I still have my body twitching and the tongue tip is still doing it too, I have tingles in my toes and arches but at least I know there`s nothing serious going on and that I can continue with enjoying life !! I am not even going to search for answers as to why my tongue is twitching and why I am twitching all over and why I can see them and not feel them and why I can see and feel them etc a twitch is a twitch and that`s it !! Its BFS !!! The doctor said last night that he very rarely googles anything, never mind anything about health and that worrying can make you sick, he was an extremely calm and relaxed man ... So any newbies out there don`t worry as it will make you sick with stress and stress can cause loads of problems !I hope I can stay positive and beat my anxiety and stay here to help as many other people as I can !!Thanks again everyone that has taken time to help me through the very difficult initial period.
 
This is great news, and we all knew everything would be just fine. Don't second guess your neuros, and make a concerted effort to keep on thinking positive! God bless :)
