Default sorry...

Sorry to all on the forum. I will do my best to leave the forum and quit bothering everyone. I do appreciate everyones efforts to calm my fears, and wish everyone well.

My anxiety is ruling my life...and it needs to stop. I don't have ALS, because my doctors say so...that is what I need to keep telling myself.

God Bless,

Tony

Tony,

At the risk of repeating myself. As you have seen yourself, all the reassurances in the world from us will help you not a whit with allaying your anxiety. You need to help yourself by seeking counseling not seeking the opinions of medical doctors, PALS or laymen.

Merry Yuletide

John

Man do i sympathize with you. i am going thru the same ****.LISTEN i have had twitching in my calf for 20 years. 4 years ago i came down witha bout of depression and severe anxiety. my forarm started twitching. I went to a specialist at an ALS center all was good. 6 months back my doc sent me back again and i had a full emg at the als center. all was good again. I am currently on 5 mlgs of lexapro and .5 klonapin. all was good until 2 weeks ago i started twitching all ovetr and still am. I have been on many forums. LEXAPRO causes twitching. I was panacking like you about ALS. its not. CHECK out about bfs or bfs.com benign fasciculation syndrome. I think thats what we have. ask these people questions they will relieve your mind. also benzo.org forthe klonapin. u will be suprised what doctors wont tell you. my email is sanfordsg@aol.com. i am going to cut down to 2,5 mlgs of lexapro for 2 weeks. then half that for two weeks. i think this twitching will go away i will let yoy know good luck
