Hello all
My twitching has been a right nuisance the last couple of weeks so I bit the bullet today and went to my GP. I went over how I've been having counselling for the last few months, how I've had these twitches (on and off in severity and all over) since July last year and that I can't stop catastrophising that it's something neurological related and serious.
The GP did a quick neuro exam on me and she said she couldn't find anything wrong and that it all seemed fine. She said I should just keep an eye on them. She said I should book a blood test to check potassium and the like, which I did, but it isn't until a week on Tuesday.
I'm therefore beginning to presume that all this worrying over the last several months has been ridiculous and that I don't have anything physically and majorly wrong with me - that it's all upstairs. Guess I'm just after reassurance. If the GP spotted anything major then I would have been referred right away. I certainly wouldn't be waiting that long for a blood test if it were serious I would have thought.
It's all peaks and troughs; sometimes my rational side is ticking along nicely but they'll be the odd occasion, like recently, where bad habits come storming back.
