Hi There,
I was doing really well keeping my anxiety under control, but over the last 24 hours I have been panicking again about my twitching and the strange sensations in my right hand - slight weakness at times.
The logical explanation is that I am tired and physically stressed lifting and carrying a 2 yearold around, therefore stressing my right arm and hand. The illogical - but dominating - explanation is that I have motor neuron disease and things are going to get worse. I saw a neurologist in September who assured me that everything was OK, but I can't get out of my head that he made a mistake. HELP!!!
Why can I not just accept that I AM OK? I have shaking and twitching and trembling all over my body at times. I am just so worried. My GP has been fab, but I sense that even she is starting to lose patience! I am on medication and have been doing well for the last 4 weeks or so (tablets taken for 11 weeks).
Thanks for listening and any advice or help or reassurance would be wonderful.

P.S. Made the mistake of asking Dr Google again - how stupid was that???
