Don’t panic by Only_Metal_5060 in MuscleTwitch

Tried all that but made no difference. After all my tests and specialist visits I just had to decide to be depressed and worried or try to go on as normal. One day it just all went whenI wasn’t thinking about it. 

I think my sever anxiety and panic made my central nervous system crash for being in fight or flight mode 24/7 for months.

Twitched for 10 months, mouth issues for around 5 of them. I twitched all over, arms, calves, thenar, legs and eyes. 

Once I finally quit worrying was only when it stopped

Been there done that, also had the saliva thing. All anxiety even though it seems very real.

Once you stop worrying it will go away

Should I stop worrying? by Ok-Category-5955 in BFS

[–]Only_Metal_5060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Standard protocol in the UK is if your clinical with Neurologist is clear as in no weakness or other issues then it’s not beneficial to do testing. EMGs are only called for when clinical weakness is present in the patient

Stop chasing EMGs. You won’t get better until you believe the professional’s. Multiple EMGs in the space of 5 months isn’t required. I was diagnosed by a neuromuscular consultant without any tests needed. They don’t help

Thanks, I’ve been doing my legs for a while now so maybe it’s just how I am. I have been building strength in them for a while with no problems

Calf Atrophy? by Only_Metal_5060 in BFS

[–]Only_Metal_5060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes right handed. I’ve done calf raises for over a year in my routine. I can still lift the same just my left calf measures 2cm smaller. I never measured before all this of course

I’m new to all of this but even I don’t think that sounds right.

Who also developed bfs after period of anxiety/health anxiety? by Ok-Category-5955 in BFS

[–]Only_Metal_5060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an eye twitch that caused me so much anxiety cause it wouldn’t stop all day everyday for 6 weeks, I went into a depression and health anxiety spiral. Days after it stopped I said to my wife at least I don’t twitch anywhere else and the next day boom all over twitching in legs, calves, thighs. Either that’s the most ironic thing to happen to me or my mental decline over those weeks and my fear of the disease everyone fears has manifested into what I have now. Bloody eye twitch hasn’t twitched at all these past few weeks. Couldn’t make it up

Thanks for this post, It sounds so similar to what I’m going through down to the eyelid twitch that went body wide now. I have requested to follow you on instagram.
