Update: 1.5 yr Twitching Journey

Hi,Just wanted to post an update of an 1.5 year twitcher.A short history:- twitching started september 2012 in calves- several months later I've noticed it in my feet- about 10 months in it spread in the upper body with left arm most affected- I have experienced twitches in calves, feet, knees, thoghs, butt, abdomen, ribcage, nech, face, cheeks, eyes, chin, lips, shoulders, biceps, triceps, elbows, forearms, hands...Current status:- confirmed cubital tunnel syndrome (the situation is almost the same since march 2013) - body wide twitching- most annoying places - left knee, right shoulder, left hand muscles (both sides of hand), lower right eyelid when sneezing, yawning, etc. - Ive had several periods that I have felt only several twitches for days, but my overal twitching has increased since the beginingAm I still worried?- unfortunately yes, but I am aware that the neuro nasty would have disabled me by now...- I hate when new places start twitching, and I'm trying my best not to google...Advices for newcomers:- DO NOT GOOGLE SYMPTOMS- DO NOT SELF TEST- This forum is a lifesaver if your anxiety is high. But unfortunately it is also a place where you can read about new symptoms... So I'm currently trying to avoid it...- Use relaxation techniques at least 2x per day- Exercise - mild exercises/walk/bike/jogging (2-3 times per week)- Don't mention your GPs/Neuros the neuro nasties - let them examine you and diagnose you without any suggestions. Trust your doctors!!!Take care,Andy
 
Good advice. I'm going on four months into this. Time will heal for me as well. I have to spend more time being a dad to my 7 and 11 year old and husband to my wife than being in a daze, just going through the motions while obsessing and worrying. They deserve better.
 
At 1 year, most neuro's will call you benign, very few will wait for 4 years before calling you benign.Your in a good place.If still twitching after 4 years, you have the same probability of MND as anyone else walking the street.Don't go into denial and stop reading. Never a good thing. I recommend that you read as much as you can, the good and the bad.
