Default Hi guys some updates

Hi guy's i been experiencing so many symptoms from twitching even occasional twitch on my tongue, poking, burning felling in spots, buzzing in legs you name is i had it. i got my self so worried that i was sick that i was not bale to work or function. I seen 1 nuro told him my problems and he told me there is nu thing to worry about, well last 2 weeks i seen second nuro for second opinion and she told me there is nothing to worry about after ruining some in office tests she told me that my nerves and my spinal cord is fine. All my symptoms are gone occasional twitch here and there. And my tongue might twitch only when i am falling asleep but just slightly maybe 2 times and most of the nights its not there at all. But for some reason i still wory i was never like this i mean 2 professionals told me i am ok for 2 months i thought that i have ALS, MS and it was constantly on my mind focusing on every twitch or step that i take. some time i might fell light headed after work for a second its wary rare, but i still worry do i have anxiety problems? how do i stop thinking so much. I have wary hard work i am labourer at granite shop and most of the time i work like a horse with stone. I cant stop thinking that i am sick its messing up my life. My friends see that in me before seeing a second nuro my friends wore like is he ok and after nuro told me all is fine i went for a party and next they they all told me how much i have changed and how different i was or normal. I still worry not as much but i know i will start soon i mean i should not be here at all on this website, even on this website if some body tell me something might be wrong or to see another nuro for 3th opinion i will start the cycle all over again and i will fell like crap. Can any of you tell me whats wrong here with me.

if you like to see the list of my symptoms just check my name.

Thanks guys

i'm sorry mac. but it would be hard for any of us to say what might be wrong.

do you have a primary care dr?
it might be worth considering getting some short term counseling just to talk your fears out with a professional.

they have been a great help to me.
my dr has helped me to redirect my thinking into positive way.
a counselor can help you decrease your anxiety also.

i would talk to your regular dr and tell him how you feel.
then maybe he can make a good referral for you.

Mac,

I do not know exactly what is wrong, but I do know that those symtpoms are common with MS. Nurse Nancy has some great advice.

Let us know how things go.

-Vic

thanks guy's was thinking msn to and that is why i went to another town to walk in clinic and people there are wary nice and i explained to her everything what was going on and that first nuro did not preform any scans just office test, she was surprised so i asked for second opinion from new neurologist and she made sure to tell new nuro that no scans wore preformed and then she told me is new nuro say that scan should be done that we i will but nuro examined me and she took this device that that vibrates and told me to tell her when it stops and i passed all office test's she told me that there is nothing neurologically wrong with me or my spinal nerves.

nurse Nancy yes i do have family doctor but when i was explain to him what was wrong with me he look at me like i was an alien. So i am not sure if i can talk to this doc, its almost as he is telling me WHAT DO YOU KNOW i am the doctor here. but i will try and see if he can give me an appointment some short term counseling. I am the only one here who thinks that female doctors are more caring than male, this female doctor actually listened to me she set down with me and we talked and she cared.

well thanks again guys for your help and God bless you all.

Sorry you're going through this Mac. Not knowing if there is something wrong with you is probably worse than knowing what IS wrong with you.

As some on this board will tell you, they have been to numerous doctors for various symptoms. Sometimes you just have to keep trying.

Still, if I were you, and none of the symptoms come back, try to relax and enjoy life again. Were you stressed about something when the symptoms started? Stress can do weird things. And when the symptoms stopped (if they have), did anything else in your life change?

US doctors don't look at the whole picture. A medical doctor doesn't think much about psychological issues, and a specialist like a neurologist doesn't consider things like possible exposure to toxins in your environment, or personal issues which may cause stress. They are only looking at physical signs, and if they can't see anything, they just can't do anything. Like when you take your car to the mechanic because it makes a noise when you first turn it on on a cold morning, but it won't make the noise for the mechanic. He can't diagnose the problem, if he can't hear the noise.

I guess what I'm saying, is do some of the investigating yourself. Look into othe possible causes. If the symptoms come back, try to figure out if there was a trigger. Something at work? Something at home? Worries about money, school, kids, you name it?

It's stupid to say it, but try not to worry. And take good care of yourself. Eat and rest properly. Work safely. Play safely. And hope maybe it was just a weird little body glitch that will never come back.

Default hi guys

Hi catch, well all of this started when i moved out on my own with a good job for the first time in my life i was on my own it was scary but i thought i couls handle it. Well 2 months in t it i lost my job and i since i have wary suportive family and we are wary close, i did not want to disappoint them by telling them the bad news since they wore so happy for me. Well few weeks in to unemployment i started noticing my muscles twitching i did worry how i will live being all alone in Toronto away from family. well me hawing acces to the web i started doing research why do i twitch and after constantly searching i scared my self so much where i head to go out for a walk to calm down. I seen a doc she did blood work that was back in November 2007. But then after reading other symptoms of MS, or ALS i started focusing on them one month i thought i have MS where i head to go to emergency room that how bad it as almost as i start thinking the focusing on my body every pinch and glitch or pain and then i panic and then anxiety and last 1 fear. I been to emergency room 3 times and same doc who seen me told me that there is nothing wrong with me, he even look at me in the eyes and told me to go home. Bu for some reason i trust him and week after that same cycle goggling symptoms thinking i have this or that. Well I meet a wary nice girl my first sexual experience and i am 28 and that was right after loosing my job that i meet her, well after hawing sex with her with protection every time i found out that she been around i asked her if she is clean and she told me that she is, well she come to Canada to go to school here and to come here for schooling you have to have HIV test done, so she told me i have nothing to worry about. But for some strange reason i could did not believe her so i thought i have HIV MS ALS did not enter my brain at all for 3 months it was only about HIV well i took all STd tests and promised my self if i am clean that i will change my life and all tests come back negative. And same day i was offered a job at granite shop working with stone its wary labor intensive job i lift more weight than most people in a month. well my body started being on pain legs shoulders back and guess what i thought its MS or ALS so i made appointment with nuro and and i quit that job since i thought i was dying well after week all the pain despaired and the i seen my first nuro told him everything and he told me i am fine except muscle tension. well i was out of job for few months with nothing but worry when i friend offer me a job at granite shop but pushing buttons with occasional lifting. I did have some leg pain for 2 weeks with is gone after work seen my doc and he give me muscle relaxants did not take them at all but i been pain free for 2 months. My friends tell me i talk to much about me being sick and my symptoms. Its like when i don't think about it i cant fell nothing there are other but as soon as i star thinking its like i have it. I been wary sick since from age 5 to 14 lung operation, and i do worry wary much i constantly over wash my hands since i been 14 and i do get scared when i hear about new diseases like bird fly oh man that year was bad for me i was in my room 24/7. So here i belive i am fine and healthy but for some reason i cant shake it off that i am sick, can this be mental thing for me if i decide to look for help how do i talk to my family doctor about this, its fell like one thing after another.

Sorry guys for such a long message and bad grammer and spelling. But thanks for your time and help
