Hey all, this is my first post here but a long long time lurker. So last year on December the 1st I experienced a twitch in my leg, it was persistent and to be honest I didn't think anything of it. I love to Google anything so more out of interest than fear I googled why we twitch.... Big mistake I must have done 6 miles around the living room that night haha.
Went to see the doctor and he seemed concerned so he scheduled me for a emg. This twitch turned into full body twitches and ruined Christmas for me :(. Anyway the doctor also put my on citalopram for health anxiety. Iv had health anxiety for years for doctor kindly mentioned I'd seen him 30 times :/ and never actually been I'll...
Anyway I found this forum it helped immensely and I forgot about the twitches.. Got a phone call to book emg and I declined it as this was now June so I didnt see the point as I'd stopped twitching and had no other symptoms.
Last week the twitching started again in my bicep and I thought no bigge and then it was all over twitching again... Didnt worry me at all until it started in my thigh just above me knee and stayed there. It's been 4 days with this twitch in my knee, I still get them elsewhere but it always ends up in the same place... I now have percived weakness in that full leg (hopefully) can still walk and stand on tiptoes etc. But I'm really struggling mentally. I'm constantly jiggling that leg so I dont feel the twitch and as soon as I wake up it's the first thing I think about :( all day i think about that twitch and all day i experience it.
Any help appreciated or similar stories.
I'm 99 percent sure I'm fine but the 1 percent is killing me and I feel like if I stop worrying about it it definitely will be more sinister just to spite me lol
Thankyou
