Hi there , anyone else have body wide muscle twitching , electric like flutters all over the body , jerking movements ? ive suffered health anxiety for years on and off but this started recently just before an operation and been going on for 2 months now, i stupidly googled and comes up with awful illnesses so now i think ive got that ! ive been to doctor twice who says its anxiety and had all blood test recently but all fine , im convinced its more as they just wont go ! im 44 and family all think im nuts and my husband for years has said its hormones but nothing gets done ! im at my wits end with worry which is probably not helping with the twitches ! can anyone pit my mind at rest ?

    Oh my goodness you are SO not alone!! I have those twitches that come n go, make me think I have Parkinsons or MS...my mind just goes there. And I'm not making light of either of those diseases.

    I know many women who have these sensations that come and go...sometimes they stay for hours or days, then disappear for months.

    Right now I've been trying to ignore a sensation in one leg, although I've felt it in the other...like there's something on my leg...a rubberband or a sock is there. Praying it disappears as suddenly as it appeared.

    But you're not alone with those muscle spasms!
