Well I have been doing better in general. I'm a few weeks on Lexapro now and seeing a therapist. However one thing today did bother me a bit. While driving I felt this weird sensation in the center and toward the back of my tongue. It was like a pulsing/thumping type thing, I wouldn't really...

I've been trying my best to convince myself that this is all anxiety, but to be honest I'm really struggling quite badly. The twitches in my calves have settled a good bit, but now my temples twitch if my jaw moves certain ways. I can feel my pulse in my tongue and it still twitches at rest. I...

Thank you for taking time to respond. I'm just really frightened at the moment. Another thing I forgot to mention that frightens me is that I was diagnosed with Central Sleep Apnea at 15 thought it was suspected as early as 12 and I read somewhere that it could be associated with ALS. The tongue...

I've been here in the past, going back almost 4 years now. I won't go into my history because it can be seen by going through my post history and I'm almost certain typing it all out would break some sort of character limit. Since about the 20th of February I've been having some troubling...

Well yes in that I am again concerned about it, I was for a long time and then got over that particular fear. Now I am afraid of it again. Sorry if my OP wasn't clear I was typing in a hurry.

The members here have been very helpful to me over the past 18 months or so, everyone has been very supportive. Several of you asked me to drop in again after my wife delivered and let you know how things are going. Well I am about 7 weeks late on that but, well we have been busy. In late Nov my...

Cool, thanks. I had not heard it either but my mind is not exactly rational at all time. I am afraid to google it, but I doubt it would turn up anything anyway

Skipper: Sorry my first post may not have been very clear, I know of no link between carrageenan and the blue gree algae from the study, I was asking to make sure there was not. I have not read anything indicating it is linked and apparently its a very common food additive. Ottawa: Yeah back...

Hello all, It has been a bit since I posted here. I am doing ok and though I still struggle with health anxiety I am working on it. I got past my fear of ALS there for a while, but I read the recent article about the blue green algae and the BMAAs, at least I think those were it. I was fine...

Hello again sorry to bump an old thread. I am really scared again as I have been having the same symptoms I described in the original post of this thread though this time my right thumb has began to twitch in the meaty portion under it and sometimes feels weak, and earlier today I had a hollow...

I know that the title of my thread is a little on the vague side, so I apologize for that. I know that many kind members here have taken some of their precious time to answer me in the past and for that I am very grateful, I know that I come back from time to time but your answers really do help...

That is good to know. I am just worried that maybe my central sleep apnea was and is a precursor to something worse, I know that being diagnosed with it a 15 means it is likely not, and I know that I mentioned it in my first thread here way back in August or so and no one seemed worried. I just...

Lol thank you. Happy Dance because I have a lead on my symptoms and am working on it? Or happy dance because my central sleep apnea is not likely to have anything to do with als in my case?

Well about 5 days into treatment for a severe vitamin d deficiency, I am very hopeful about it making a difference in my problems. I have talked to someone who had constant all over, inside out twitching that went away after correcting vitamin d levels. I do have another question though, I was...

Well guys I may have found my problem. The massive amount of blood work I had done last week came in. It was all fine save for 2 things, my vitamin D levels were very low, the normal range is from 30-100, my level was 17. My liver function was also high which interested my doctor as my father...
