Down the ALS rabbit hole

[Hypo84]

I don't know it, but I am not overwhelmed by fear that it causes depression-like symptoms. Small victories I guess.

Oh well at least you are not bed ridden with fear..
Since my last message I developed twitching in my abdomen and I can hardly get out of bed with anxiety.
I have 2 kids and terriffied

[Hypo84]

I have abdomen twitching as well if it makes you feel any better.

Went to neurologist today as I have back pain with pins and needles. He didn't do extensive check up but he did check my reflexes and I was holding hands straight with eyes closed etc and he said that he doesn't recommend MRI or EMG as he belives I am neurologically fine.

For fasciculations, he said, let them be...

[Zuzinada]

Yes it does make me feel better oddly..lol.
Have you considered having your biceps twitch bcs of your spine? C5c6 can apparently cause something like that..

[Hypo84]

No way it is that as my eyelid is twitching even longer, and I have shoulder, back, abdomen, butt, calf, quadriceps twitches occassionally.

Too many different twitches for it to be spine related

[Zuzinada]

Oh okay,...I only think mine might be something other than this is bcs my twitching in the arm starts when im using my arm..holding phone, texting, gaming etc...when its still and in a good position aligned with my neck I dont really notice it happening....so I was thinking that the nerv could be stimulated by the movement and its reacting..

Feck knows!!...Im just very very bad with my anxiety lately..Today I was listening to my favourite song and crying for 30 mins straight while peeling potatoes..feel a tad better i must say..
Btw I too have a lip twitch that comes on every night for the past week..

Just to let you know, I suffered with all over body muscle twitches 24/7 for a year. Literally, every part of my body. All the time!
That sent me down such an ALS anxiety spiral, that even when the ALS fear was over I still had crazy anxiety for years!
Don't let it go that far! Muscle twitches is an extremely common symptom of anxiety. Even now I notice whenever I get angry, I start twitching somewhere. It's an overloaded nervous system. Just ignore it
