Muscle Twitching and Fear

[JuliaSugarbaker]

I only have to look at one page of the forum to know this is a common fear. I've been a member on AnxietyZone, so hi if you remember me! However, I feel like I need to get this out here for whatever reason. My journey with HA only started last February, but has consumed me since. I've been on 50mgs of Zoloft since mid-October.

So, I'm a twitching mess and have been since early September. My latest annoyance (and terror) is a near constant twitch in the arch of my foot. Weirdly, it only seems noticeable when I cross my feet or they're propped. No noted weakness and I'm still able to do everything I always could. I've read all about ALS, BFS, etc...Of course, you all know what my fear is, ALS.

I did ask my doctor when getting on Zoloft and he said not to worry about. He didn't no any exam or probe any further. Should I go back, see a neurologist or just ignore it? I wish I could ignore, because I feel like it would go away.

Thanks for reading, just posting seems helpful. Any suggestions or can you commiserate?

Thats how my health anxiety about ALS started and keeps going on savagely 5 months now... a little twitch in my calf, and after researching and seeing it could be an als symptom got bodywide twitching and a lot of other physchosomatic symptoms... dont go to a neuro, stop researching, it will go away in its own, its completely benign, ALS never begins with twitching, its extremely rare for it to present with twitching
