Good afternoon,
Thank you in advance to anyone who responds to this thread. I just wanted to ask the opinion of you all. I am 20 years old in a very stressful college major. Around 6 months ago, I developed an eyelid twitch on my left eye. About a week after that, I started to twitch everywhere. I mean, literally everywhere. Since then, I have endured periods where the twitches are very apparent and times where I do not even notice them. I have even went through times where I am pretty sure the twitches were gone completely. I am going through a lot of anxiety right now, as I am sure most of us are, and I have started to convince myself that my left leg is smaller than the right. I am worried that it is atrophy, but I feel that if I actually had atrophy, i would also have weakness. I am right handed so I would not be surprised if I am more dominant and stronger on my right side than my left. I have seen my doctor who referred me to a neurologist, but I did not follow through with the appointment because the twitches had stopped around the time that I was scheduled to see the neurologist. I have no weakness, and no problems doing any of the things that I used to do. I guess I am just worrying more than anything, but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice for me to quit worrying.
Thank you in advance.
