I'm new to this forum. I find it very helpful. I have twitches in my legs primarily and other places from time to time. I have been having the twitches since the end of November. I've had GAD (Anxiety) for about 8 years and when the twitches started I googled and found all the good stuff, *LS, *S, etc.
I've been to the Nurse Practitioner and the GP and both gave me a basic neuro exam and my blood work is clean. Needless to say having these twitches has made me think I'm going to die from some horrible disease and made my anxiety go off the charts. It's also caused me to go OCD everytime I walk up stairs and go off balance or feel weak.
The day before yesterday I went skiing for the first time in my life. Took a 3 hour lesson and then hit the mountain for 4 hours of skiing on beginner and intermediate courses. I had a blast! Fell only twice when I was doing about 30 mph and hit some ice. The whole time I didn't notice one twitch (did afterwards). Needless to say I'm a bit sore but overall feel good.
So what did this all prove to me? If I did have *LS, or *S I don't think I would have the coordination, stamina or strength to pull off skiing for 7-8 hours. Doing this was a huge confidence boost to me.
Still twitching though. Hope they will dissapear as mysteriously as they came.
I hope those of you obsessing about feeling weak, etc. try to push through what you are feeling. For me it was/is worry driving the situation. Not any more.
