Hi All!I am new to the group. A little background on me I am 27, I started twitching in Nov 2010, and still going strong! Before the twitching started I had crazy anxiety, I was scared I was going to leave the oven or iron on, I was nervous all the time. Then one day sitting on my couch, I had a twitch in my lip and then down my legs. So I went to bed and it was still there in the morning. It starts from the minute I wake up to the moment I go to bed. It usually starts in my calfs like fireworks going off under my skin. Sometimes I get them in my arches, toes, arms stomach, my fingers twitch (that’s the worst!) occasionally my face but its 24/7. It’s been a dark 6 months for me, I have been to my doctor and he said Fibro, but I went for a second opinion and he said its not that and I stumped him! he gave me Kloplin I take that occasionally, but it doesn’t really help. I have tried acupuncture, herbal remedies, magnesium, tonic water, cutting out caffeine, drinking less booze ( for some reason drinking makes the twitching worse) I have tried a lot of things, but nothing is making the twitching go away!! So I found this online website in hopes to find others like me to share support. Thanks for letting me share my story! After reading other post it doesn’t look like I am alone!
 
welcome, you are not alone. your symptoms sound like mine. Mine started July 2010... I had dealt with an eyelid twitch for years (onando ff) was never worried because I knew others who got those occasionally too. I have always been a worrier and have had bad anxiety too. I was having the worst anxiety and stress ever before all this started. It was the night of July 17, 2010. In bed, trying to sleep, and BAM full blown body twitches all over. It scared the crap out of me. I couldn't sleep, googled the symptoms and the rest is history.....LOL. Read "BFS in a Nutshell" it's me to a T. It also helped me realize that I have BFS. My anxiety is now at an all time low and my symptoms have improved dramatically, from 2000+ a day to hundreds sometimes even less. Believe me, anxiety makes them Worse. PM me anytime, I would be happy to talk with you. I consistently get the facial and finger twitches all fingers both hands, I hate those too. Actually they all pretty much suck, LOL. Take Care, Tanya
 
Its just SO hard to deal with it!!!Has anyone taken anything to help?I was just away on vaca in the most relaxing place and ofcourse one day I wake up with a hand twitch that lasted ALL day! it was my thumb and my index and middle finger.. Im thinking what could I possibly be anxious about right now! SOO nerve racking!
 
The cause of benign twitching is not completely known, but its pretty clear there are a number of factors. At a minimum, anxiety plays a role in making symptoms worse for most people in this community. Even on the most relaxed day of my life... I still twitch, so don't be surprised if you do too. Eventually, you will be okay with twitching, to the point that it just seems like a normal bodily function. The twitching will not cause you harm, and does not represent any sinister underlying monster of disease inside you. Once you fully digest that, things will get a lot better.
