I think its getting worse. I feel tired and shaky, and my muscles "tingle", also, I have had slight spazms in other muscles. My name is James Bonner, I'm 23 and just married, please pray for me! do i have parkinsons Thank you, James |
Dude, if you could see my hands twitch sometimes you'd think they were possessed. It comes from years of guitar playing, the nodes on your spine program themselves to play and then when you stop or don't play for a while they try to de-program themselves and one hand or the other will twitch up a storm. What you have sounds like a pinched nerve to me, totally different then my problem. You need to see a Nerogelogist(sic)and let them track it down and fix it. Just stay calm and don't freak out.

Hey, I hear ya, man. If I had any medical ailments, the first place I'd go is arfcom - definitely not the doctor.  Please seek medical help. If its that unnerving, the ER is open 24/7/365. This wouldn't be a big deal but you sound like you're freaking out - address this immediately. |

I've had all these symptoms - to the letter, and more. I was also getting headaches at the time, and that scared the SHIT out of me. Thought excatly the same thing - must be Parkinson's or a brain tumor. Like I said before on your other thread, check it out with a neurologist if you're concerned. I went through all the tests, MRI, you name it. NO cause. It was all stress. Headaches were actually from eyestrain, fixed with glasses. In fact, once I knew the symptoms weren't from some fatal disease, they all but vanished. There's a good chance something similar is going on with you. But see a doctor. |
wow, just wow I have been stressing out lately, I thought an ingrown hair was genital herpes on the honeymoon that was three weeks ago. I will see a doctor at school tomarrow if I can |
my name is James Bonner, please pray for me |

This is most likely a benign normal situation. It may be something called muscular fasciculations, which may be bad or good depending on the situation. If the condition goes away after a couple of weeks, don't worry about it. I have had twitches that lasted 1 to 2 weeks in every part of my body (feet, biceps, triceps, shoulder, chest, hand, etc). I have had these twitches since I was a teenager (I am now 42). I am very active physically which may be a causal factor. DEFINITION: source Merck Manual-- The most common extraneous movements are fasciculations (brief, fine, irregular twitches of muscle under the skin). Fasciculations usually indicate disease of the lower motor neuron, but can sometimes occur in normal muscle, particularly in the calves of older people. |

Sounds like Anxiety to me! I get muscle twitch's if I stress out and worry about shit especially if I don't sleep well and to top it off I drink lots of coffee. Stop worrying about shit, my brother was all stressed out a few years ago and had an Anxiety attack, he thought was having a heart attack. Get out and do something to relax. |

More than likley it is nothing at all. But to be on the safe side get it checked out as soon as possible at the university health clinic. If you cant afford it they can tack it to your tuition, and if you are on student loans it should get taken care of. I had a roomate years ago whos leg on the topside of the calf right under the backside of the kneecap twitched. It turned out to be a tumor, he had to have part of the leg removed, but can still, thankfully, function normally now. Check it out just to be sure. |
| Take comfort in the fact that at your age, a miniscule fraction of the population is afflicted with fatal diseases. In other words, there is almost certainly nothing serious wrong with you. As others have said, go to the doctor for the final assurance, but the odds are so far in your favor as to be almost a sure thing. |

freak, like we talked about today you should be fine. The parachute jumps last weekend could have given you some muscle/nerve trauma or it could be stres related from the whole NEW MARRIAGE CONGRATS!!!!!/ school thing. Suck it up and drive on. If it still bugs you a month from now hit sick call on your next drill. STAY OUT OF THE EMERGENCY ROOM!!! mike |
Those symptoms sound a lot like what my wife had 15 years ago. Took her to the Doc..he prescribed some pills...can't remember what they were. He also told her to eat bananas for the potassium...at least 2 per day. She followed his advice and it went away rather quickly. However, since then she swings from the tree limbs in the neighborhood when we are out for daily walks, walks bowlegged and has grown a crap load of hair on her legs and hands which drag on the ground. She also changed her name from Harriet to just

You are on my prayer list. Take it easy and don't worry so much. It will only make matters worse. I have a co-worker in Germany who just went though a very similar situation. He thought he had all kinds of problems. He was diagnosed with excessive stress. Take it easy and give your troubles to the Lord.
