Hello,
I have not been on posting in a long time. I thought I would update what's going on. I started twitching 15 months ago with a lip twitch that quickly spread everywhere within a few days. I am 45 years old. Of course, I panicked. I saw my GP and a neuro within 1 month. They did reflex check, etc. (No Emg) and said that it was benign. The twitching is 24/7 in my feet and calves (like popcorn). My feet will also cramp occassionally-- 3 weeks no cramping at all, then 1 week cramping when I point my toes, etc. I was really afraid for a while, but now after 15 months and I have not developed any weakness, my fear has pretty much subsided. I can speed walk 5-7 miles a day, and just spent 1 week at Disney with my kids. That's enough right there to figure out if you are weak. After 15 months of no weakness, can I finally give up the worry completely? I would think with as much twitching as I have, if it was anything serious I would have other symptoms by now. Right? I guess I am just looking for some encouragemnt.:-D You guys are really good at that!
Thanks
Sue
