I realize I might get a bit fussed at for this. I hate to come back and ask for any opinions but I would like a little more advice if possible. Please forgive me but I really would love to not bother you guys any more. I do realize I had an EMG on my upper body.(I posted the results). Like you...

Thank you very much Shiftkicker for your response and kind advice. I am seeing a counselor and take Zoloft. I think I'm just very confused about whats going on? I read so much of all of your posts and stickies. That gives me some reassurance. I'm just still haunted by all the fasciculations ...

Thank you very much for your reply and honest feedback. I hope you are right. I have been seeing a therapist to help with the anxiety part. I was just curious how the EMG test worked? I was not told much of anything during the test. I was looking for some clarification from you guys. I will...

I really understand if I'm told to go away or stop being anxious. I'm just trying to understand something and get advice on what my next steps might be. I'm 3 months in since my first fasciculations. About 6 months since my throat started randomly changing pitch and phlegm buildup. After my...

I just wanted to give an update. Thank you guys very much for all the previous advice. I met with a neurologist today. They worked me in after hearing of my symptoms. I am still feeling all the twitching all over from head to toe. I told him about my tongue and face fasciculations but he didn't...

Thank you so much for your response. You are very kind. I have been seeing a counselor to try and help. I would like to think it was just a muscle problem. I have been a weightlifter for many years. I weighed around 182 lbs 4 months ago and now I'm under 160. Tons of muscle loss. I can put...

Hard to believe. The earliest I can get an appointment in Charlottesville is in May. Waiting on calls from other referrals. Things are definitely progressing fast. Not sure from day to day what will get worse. I have all over muscle, fasciculations. Visible muscle loss everywhere, body jerks...

Thank you again for your kind response. I try to relax (Dr put me on zoloft) but the fasciculations keep me up most of the night and make it hard to rest. I agree I do need more sleep for sure. Its hard to find a right sleep combination. Dr gave me valium and xanax for insomnia but i read if...

Please forgive me if I'm doing this wrong. Feel free to put me in my place. I totally understand. I still have all issues I listed in previous posts. I won't post those again. I am having a time getting a Neurologist appointment. They all just say I have your referral. Long waiting list. Trying...

Thank you for this response. About 3 weeks ago I did have a swallow study that they said was normal but I know when things feel like they are stuck. Its usually on the tail end of eating. The smaller left over pieces don't go all the way down and seem to hang. I have not had a pulmonary test I...

Thank you very much for this forum and for allowing us to seek advice. I have found myself finding comfort and much help while reading here. I would like to get some help and advice from anyone that might can advise me. I know I have not been diagnosed but I'm not sure what else it might be...

Please forgive me if I'm way off base here. Plus I'm not real good with grammar. I did read the stickies and still am a bit concerned with some things. Thank you so much for reading. Im 53. I was looking for some advice. For about 4 months I've noticed some phlegm buildup in my throat and it...
