Bonjour Happydays,
J'espère que votre problème sera résolu. Je ne peux que décrire ce qui m'est arrivé et ce qu'on m'a dit. N'hésitez pas à suivre avec votre neurologue pour un examen professionnel et, espérons-le, une tranquillité d'esprit.
Toutes mes meilleures pensées.
I agree with Dr stay away from meds if possible try the natural route . I was right where you are and even last night mubtwitching kicked in . Anxious over a early alarm today and needless to say only got 3 1/2 hours sleep . But if you can try the relaxation techniques yoga meditation and accupunture and herbs i guarantee once your mind free it is nothing serious then you will be free .
Try journaling as well .
I pray for you as well this is no fun . But this to shall pass I promise . Feel free to pm me for my herbs 🌿 💕

J'ai 62 ans et je suis en bonne santé. Je viens de ressentir une contraction musculaire dans ma main gauche. Que cela signifie-t-il ?
Hi
Well I’m no doctor but if your twitching isn’t followed by muscle weakness then you have nothing to worry about. Could be anything from a vitamin deficiency like magnesium I would ignore it and not worry or else you will twitch more trust me
i an so glad i read this post. i have really bad anxiety and originally thought i had dementia as the memeory got better i started with twitching and im on a nursing course too
hi sorry to hear about what your experiencing but i understand as i too thought maybe i had dementia and keep in mind my dad passed of alzhiemers but in the early stages of my anxiety i too would forget many things
and this contributed to my stress anxiety and twitching
understand it took me over a year and many test to feel normal with the help of acupuncture and herbs prescribed by my accupuncturist as well as my nutritionist whom has prescribed vitamins biotin b12 , http, all important vitamins for our nervous system and muscles.
yoga has helped and meditation and i never thought i would ever do any of these .
I cant say i am every day A Ok
but i can say i know longer fear the ms or als diagnosis
and i struggle with anxiety bit when it appears and i twitch i just note it and realize it will pass.
my neurologist diagnosed BFS
And altho its annoying i know it wont kill me .
in mean time live life and love life .
My hope for you is to find peace and know this too shall pass .
wishing you good health and less worry

Salut, honnêtement si tout ce que vous avez c’est des spasmes, vous n’avez pas à vous inquiéter. Je fais des spasmes depuis presque 4 mois maintenant et j’ai d’autres symptômes qui pointent vers un problème réel (j’ai eu un EMG propre cependant). J’aimerais vraiment n’avoir que des spasmes.
Bonjour, j’ai 30 ans et depuis quelques mois, j’ai aussi des spasmes musculaires dans tout le corps (yeux, jambes, bras, pieds). Cela ne semble pas disparaître. J’ai également remarqué que cette année a été la plus stressante pour moi en raison d’un déménagement et du travail. J’ai commencé à lire en ligne, mais cela ne m’a mené qu’à des choses que je ne voulais pas lire. J’ai remarqué que plus je m’inquiétais, plus j’avais des spasmes. Je suis allé chez un neurologue et la première chose qu’elle m’a demandée était : « Bon, crachez le morceau, de quoi vous inquiétez-vous ? » Je lui ai dit ALS ou MS et elle a commencé à rire. Elle a fait un petit examen et m’a dit que je n’avais pas ALS. Elle a également dit que les spasmes musculaires sont très courants avec le stress et l’anxiété. Elle m’a dit que plus je google, plus j’aurai des spasmes. Elle m’a dit que j’avais BFS. Quand votre corps se calme, les spasmes disparaîtront lentement, a-t-elle dit. J’espère qu’elle a raison lol. Si vous traversez la même chose que moi, vous pouvez googler « stress-anxiété-spasmes musculaires ». Cela m’a vraiment calmé après avoir lu. J’espère que cela aide.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to leave a message for all of you and for my own good.
Before anything I just wanted to point out a few things that I am pretty sure most of you are on the same boat with me.
This is not the first time that you are worried about having a horrible disease (Have had MS fears at least once in the past right? come on…)
Have been spending many *** hours googling your symptoms
Your concern is the main issue, otherwise the symptoms themeselves do not interfere with your day to day life
Your symptoms get worse when you think about them
For this particular symptom (Muscle twitching) you may already know that:
It is very common rarely something serious.
It’s very rarely an early symptom of ALS.
When there is no other obvious symptoms it means nothing.
When it’s generalized and you feel it all over your body it usually benign.
ALS is a progressive disease and if you have had twitches for quite a while and have not developed other symptoms it has nothing to do with ALS.
You all know these facts. I know them too. But there is still another thing that we all have in common:
We know all of these but we still can not stop worrying, searching and picturing the worst case scenario.
Welcome to the club guys. We are all (more or less) sufferers from what they call Cyber-Chondria or in simple words “Health Anxiety”.
How do I know that? Because I am reading this thread! Because a few days ago I became worried about ALS due to muscle twitching and here is where I ended up after spending hours and hours googling symptoms on internet.
Because I explained all rational reasons to you why you should not be worried at all, and I am still anxious myself.
We need to overcome this. For many of us, professional psychiatry help is needed. If we don’t find a way out of this, anxiety will swallow our normal life (if it hasn’t already). Yesterday MS, today ALS and tomorrow pancreatic cancer and after that ALS again.
We need to let it go.
I am going to try my best. Will not google symptoms or read forums anymore. Give this damn twitching sometime to see where it goes (I have definitely already consulted my GP and he said there was nothing to worry about). If it doesn’t get worse or I don’t develop any other symptoms. Then it’s nothing. Absolutely nothing. Like all of yours.
I bet a million dollar that ZERO people in this thread have been or will be diagnosed with ALS due to these muscle twitches.
I wish all (including myself) could find a way out of the darkness of health anxiety problem.
HI
Well just checking in to say to all twitchers ,tingling ,
ANXIETY is most likely the cause even when your stress level subsides and you feel great you may still twitch .
I can honestly say accupuncture and herbs were my life saver and seeing a nutritionist .. I cant say im twitch free and i have good days and bad but mainly good
and with prayer meditation yoga these all have helped
wishing you all peace and
please stay off the web it only aggravates the situation
peace to you all
HI I’m not sure if this forum is still open.
Im in my late 30s with generalized twitching. It started during a time i was very exhausted but even after getting rest and de stressing i still have them. The twitches are usually small muscles not visible to anyone unless youre looking for it and occur in my feet, calves, butt , face and hands.
My neurologist didnt think i needed any tests as he says im fine but i’m super anxious and always reading. Any words of advice ?
hello first im sorry your experiencing muscle twitching there not pleasant and can make a person crazy.
i continue to twitch some days i have no twitches some days its like a popcorn machine .
primarly in my calves .
i was told anxiety and i beleive this is the case as when moments of stress i will twitch even more .
ive tried accupuncture and continue to do acupuncture
and feel it has helped .
also magnesium has helped .
But nothing has made them go away .
as far as your test well your dr is right you dont need any as they can tell by observing if these test are necessary .
i have seen 3 neurologist because i could not understand how these twitches could be benign well almost 2 years now and im still twitching even as i write this and i feel strong and healthy just have to live with these annoying twitches .
altho mine are only noticeable when im sitting still or laying down when im moving i seem not to notice.
wishing you peace and hope you find comfort
xo
Hi,
If you were seen by a neuro and they said you didn’t need further tests, that means you are just fine. These twitches are very common and a specialict could instantly realize by just looking if something was wrong.
thanks for your response.
i do note some days are good but i am so unaware of being so stressed or anxious that this would happen though my job is very stressful. i know i panicked when it started especially after reading online.
i do find that magnesium tablets helps .
i will continue that.
THANKS
your very welcome
i use a product called calm abd it actually helps me sleep take it every night
i never knew i was anxious or stressed but my body must have known.
anyways keep me posted if yours go away and any remedies
I guess youre right but everytime i get them more frequent than the prior day i get paranoid ! i will try to relax.
good morning
i actually thought of you last night
wanted to share when i have a glass of red wine they go away as well ..but maybe im just relaxing ..
i did wake up at 4 am to tiny little twitches primarly my legs its like something in my brain is misfiring and my legs just go pop pop pop ..
as i write this there firing off even now . But im going for a run and will be busy all day and wont notice them until im still again
i suppose i can say that moving more and sitting less cant be that bad for me . But it took me over year several DRS including a therapist to just learn to live with them and pray they go away someday .
THank You… your responses make me realise Im not alone !!
your not alone at all
reach out any time
