Hi all, I am going through a bad patch at the moment. My doctor has told me all my symptoms are anxiety related and he's convinced I haven't got anything serious. My main source of anxiety is my health, and my body is chucking all sorts of weird symptoms at me. The main of which are horrendous body spasms and jerks and also body shaking and tempting. The body spasms/ jerks are all over my body but mainly in my right thumb and my calves. The shaking is so strange, it seems to effect my entire body.. it's not a very noticeable shake.. more like a consistent vibration, I notice it when I put my hands out in front of me etc. Also when I tilt my head back and touch my front teeth together, they chatter. The fact I have health anxiety makes it worse obviously, I've convinced myself I have early onset Parkinson's or MS. PLEASE.. has anyone else had these same symptoms? I need to know someone has had these symptoms and gotten over them?
Hi George. No you are not alone. I have had anxiety since I was a child and I shook so much it stopped me from doing things. I am now 64 and although I have learnt to live with it It still holds me back. I find it happens when I am under pressure or if somebody is watching me do something. My advice to you would be to learn to accept it and do not give it any attenton. I wish you well.
Are you on any medications? Your symptoms could be a side effect maybe.
