Yeah I guess. It’s just that stuff adds up you know. My tight fasciculated arm scares me.

I even have spasms in my lip, chin, eye and forehead. It's crazy. Anxiety or a lesion the size of a bacon strip?

I’m probably seeking reassurance but does anybody here have anxiety-induced twitches? Should I worry about ALS/MS even more? I’ve read the sticky thread but have found a lot of contradictory information online. It’s just all over the place.

Yep, and I know tons on here who have too. There are many threads about it all, many are ALS/MND threads too and they are still around and don't have it.

I've found anxiety twitching is worse at worse stages of anxiety and as you calm down overall they reduce greatly. No more legs flying out of bed or pulsing twitching for me as I'm well past that stage now. But if I find myself having a rough time with increased adrenaline I can still get them. I may get the odd Hypnic Jerk too when in bed.

Others on here I've talked too have said the same about overall levels of anxiety. The same can easily be said for OCD as obsessive-compulsive cycles and intrusive thoughts intensify when more stressed in general.

Some have talked about facial twitching with anxiety, some where it's been eyes. I've always been more limbs and the lower back thing too. I did also have periods of nerve spasms and I can say these are more frequent than ever before my anxiety started. Again, worse periods of anxiety tend to be there when they appear.

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer. My symptoms started on June 4 so I guess if it was ALS I’d have some pretty obvious weakness by now?

Take the question mark away and it becomes a statement of fact as opposed to seeking more reassurance

But is it an absolute fact though? I think ALS can be slow at onset?

I guess I do but I don’t know that much about ALS. Just asking.
