Hi,
To sum up what I'm about to say: my tongue sometimes feels like it's twitching, right now I feel nothing, but when I look at it in my mouth (whether I stick it out or it's just resting) it looks like it's kind of trembling. I'm not sure if it meets the "bag of worms" description people use so often, I'm very anxious right now, and if anyone could point me to information regarding what the twitching should actually look like and/or personal recounts I would be really grateful.
Long and miscellaneous information about me: I am a 17 year old boy, I have severe hypochondriasis and was committed to a psychiatric hospital for five months. Leading up to this point, I had noticed twitches in my legs, I went to my GP and she performed an examination that was too brief for my liking. That was the only examination I received prior to hospitalization. During hospital stay, I encountered many doctors, some of whom gave me coarse examinations, one however (a neurologist) performed a two hour neurological assessment on me, and concluded that I did not have ALS or anything of the sort. The very first component of the examination was him looking at my tongue for about 20 seconds. I feel as though this wasn't sufficient, but if he was right, and that I had no ALS at that time, could the answer have changed since? It's been about 5 months since that examination. Is it possible that he could have missed something? I'm sorry if I sound stupid to you, and I know that it's probably frustrating to read this, if you have had legitimate experiences with the disease. I really need some peace right now though,
Thanks
