I’ve posted here before , about a year ago I had weird symptoms . Twitching all over specially calf’s .
Had every test done except mri , EMG .
Doctor thought it was anxiety .
I do admit it was a very stressful situation and I had an all time anxiety .
Recently I got diagnosed with covid around December 3rd and got really ill , I’m better now but suddenly I’m twitching on my knees . I heard that’s a red flag spot for twitching .
Do get random twitches everywhere that come and go .
Dr diagnosed me with TMJ but read here that it’s common with people with ALS due to weakening jaw muscles .
I went months where the twitching disappeared but recently slowly returned .
Should I be concerned and ask for an EMG ?
Anxiety runs in my family my mom suffered from it and some of my brothers when they were younger had panic attacks and anxiety . I never experienced that so why not that I’m in my 30s should I suddenly be anxious .
