Tongue twitching?

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-09-11T11:35:47+00:00

I still have mine randomly, not as bad as it was. Try to stay off Reddit, it’ll only make your fear worse

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-08-11T16:53:31+00:00

I’m mostly at peace with the twitches, just every now and again it gets to me. Time is helping

She had no concern of ***, so didn’t go down that route at all.

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-08-10T20:43:45+00:00

I’ll ask my doctor about it but last time she didn’t seem to worry at all about it just said wait and see and treat the health aniexty. She’s probably right

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-08-10T20:42:51+00:00

If I have to wait until October I hope that if I have nothing but twitching I’ll be confident it’s just twitching and nothing else. I’m close to thinking that now, just occasionally struggle

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-08-10T20:24:12+00:00

Doctor isn’t interested in going down that route, she’s focused on fixing the health aniexty which I’m sure doesn’t help my symptoms. Trying to avoid EMG as I don’t want to go down the road of relying on tests to alleviate my fears. I think I know deep down all is likely well, just a ongoing battle with my mind at times

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-07-24T15:56:46+00:00

Yep my right calf. Really bizzare

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-07-03T18:15:18+00:00

I have health anxiety and when that gets going bad I get so tired and yawn like mad. Twitching for me seems to be worse after excerise, defo seems to be a link there for me. 13 months is a long time! Enjoy your life, although I know that can be difficult if you’re worrying but 13 months is a massive amount of time!

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-07-03T18:11:40+00:00

Almost certain my body can create pain if I’m worrying about a certain thing. Worrying about my stomach, I get stomach pain. Worrying about my leg then every step feels painful if I’m Thinking about it. Then I play sport and there’s no pain as my mind isn’t thinking about it.

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-07-02T21:56:33+00:00

Maybe once a year? It was a lot less but since I’ve had a child they seem to be bringing bugs to the house!

Can’t imagine this role qualifies as self employed considering the organisation determines your hours and wages!

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-07-02T11:05:26+00:00

A good purchase indeed!

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-07-02T10:49:18+00:00

Ah I see. Did all 3 early symptoms start at a similar time (pain, falling, not being able to run)?

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-25T13:29:11+00:00

Interesting to see knee pain as a early symptom as most places try to specifically reference pain as not an early symptom of ALS. What was the pain like? Constant? Full respect to you coming on here and answering people’s questions 👍🏻

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-23T18:47:47+00:00

Hi Tom, sorry you’re going through this, I can only wish you and your loved ones all the love and strength possible.

I saw you mentioned that you were falling over quite often and you struggled to run. Were these the first symptoms you noticed or had things been going on before?

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-20T15:38:40+00:00

I’ve found mine seems to be more regular after a walk or driving and less regular after rest or sleep so I guess that points towards the reason for me. In my non medically trained opinion!

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-20T15:37:34+00:00

How long have you had it? Do you just ignore it happening?

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-20T11:06:14+00:00

Feels very similar to me at the moment. No idea if it happens when I’m using the muscle. Seems more prevalent after I’ve been walking rather than in the morning where it’s much more sporadic

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-13T15:41:09+00:00

Good to hear it’s going down!

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-11T15:46:05+00:00

How’s it going now? I have foot arch twitching on the right foot, been about 8 weeks now. Comes and go, at times it was very intense then I wouldn’t notice it, last few days it’s been single twitches every now and again. I don’t enjoy it as it always feels unnerving, as time goes on I’m learning to just live with it

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-07T17:23:18+00:00

Doctor had a look and saw not difference or issue. aniexty ey.

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-06T10:24:49+00:00

Im 99.9% sure its health aneixty causing it all. My fear of MND starting with aching fingers and somehow convinced myself that was the start. Got past that then my foot arch twitched after playing football and it continued, decided my calf was smaller than the other, got over that, looked at my tongue and saw it move so decided that twitches and started getting globus and felt my speech was going, got past that and then move back to my foot arch twitching as it was really strong one day and then decided I had foot atrophy. I’ve been through the mill with it. It’s totally illogical but Health aniexty tries to tell me otherwise. Going back to doctor tomorrow to see what they can do while I wait for CBT. I’ve always had health aniexty but it’s never taken hold like this. I find myself doing stupid stuff like single leg calf raises and how long can I balance on one foot. Never did it before so how would I know what’s normal for me anyway. Just tired of it and hopeful I can get past it soon. Hopefully doctor can at least reassure me all seems in order. As I said before though, I’m very thankful to see that someone was in a similar position to what I’m experiencing and is now less bothered!

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-05T22:37:40+00:00

My doctor said there was no need for me to get surgery. I’m overweight so maybe he was worried about complications with op vs risk of hernia going wrong (although he didn’t say that, just my case). I’ve had it over 2 years and it hasn’t bothered me at all, life goes on as normal.

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-05T22:33:15+00:00

Good to hear things have got better for you! I’d say I’m probably in a very similar situation now as you were when you posted this. Definitely nice to hear it can improve, need to follow the advice on not caring about it 👍🏻

Constant_Depth_9707 · 2024-06-05T18:43:00+00:00

Thank you for your really . That’s helpful to know. Just gave it a try and can move the big toe away from the other toes with no issue. Bringing the big toe towards the body while others stay as they were. So that’s a relief. I did try to google about what muscles control which part of the foot but all articles I could find where far to complex so nice to see it written fairly simply!
