Hi Guys,
So I am new to NMP but after beiing a health anxiety sufferer for many hears I realised i can not do this on my own anymore.. i ‘fixed it myself’ numerous times, but this time I am going deeper and deeper into a negative spiral and I realise i am lost. It consumes me. I cant eat, sleep, breath, work...
So to start: 5 years ago i head a bad period of HA, in my mind i had 10 types of cancer. Thank god i managed to get over it. Beiing a nervous type i did get some almost-fall backs but i managed somehow.:blush: Until 6 weeks ago........
After a period of intense stress at work and with financial stuff, i think i finally cracked at the end of novemver. I got a bad headache leading to some pretty extreme braintumor fears en bad HA. Started to see other symptoms as well and shit got crazy. From that point on, i just stopped sleeping through the night. This tells me i am in a pretty much 24/7 nonstop anxious state. Well, saw a neurologist, tests at the office were fine but got an mri last week thursday just in case. Havent got the results yet, but over the weekend i figured they would have called by now if serious.. somehow, also the headache mysteriously subsided over the weekend. Which is good.. but this is when shit REALLY gets out of hand...:weep:
Monday evening my left leg (think hamstring) starts twitching.. which is odd since I havent exercised since my Ha got really bad those 6 weeks ago. What has got me really worked up and scared to death is that the twitching continues (intermittently) to this very moment 3 days later and seems accompied by some other random twitches but nearly all in the left leg...ofcourse i was dumb enough to google and now I am terrified of ALS. Twitching from anxiety would make sense seeing the timeline, but according to the internet is not confined to one spor, ALS twitching is.. so I have been crying practically nonstop, have one after another panic attack and going absolutely crazy... i have no idea how to break out of this anymore... PLEASE HELP ME:weep:
I tried googling for reassuring statistics (im a 29 yo female) but there ia so limited data available that this didnt help... also some reassuring posts by people on ALs sites stating that the twitching comes later was totally undone by readinf posts of patients who really had twitching as a first symtom. I am lost, completely and utterly lost... :doh:
Has anyone experiences benign twitching due to anxiety for days in the same spot like a leg? Much appreciated...
