Health Anxiety- thinking I have a neuro disorder

Kayleeh — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 21:17:00 GMT

I have alsways had anxiety around health but the last few months Ive literally been obsessed. It started when I had insomnia for a few weeks then I noticed twitching of my thumb so I googled it came up with parkinsons , ms, als I googled and googled freaking myself out!!! eventually I pushed it to the back of mind. A few weeks ago I noticed when Im sitting or laying down I jerk but they are the tiniest little jerks that sometimes they wont visually move the area, I dont notice any during the day unless im sitting but this doesnt seem to be a comon anxiety symptom so now im actually convinced there is something wrong with me and god im scared im so so scared. I twitch and jerk has anyone got this and could it be anxiety? Ill be going to the doctors next week.

hi Kayleeh, nervous complaints become annoying, so can I just ask a couple of questions and please only answer if you want to, do you twitch your thumb on a regular basis or at any particular time and feel as though you have to do this or does it happen automatically and do you feel as though it's something you could stop, and if so how do you feel when you stop doing it. Geoff.

Hi Geoff

Its something I cant control, I can usually feel it and when I look its usual moving so ill automaticly hold it to try stop it from twitching. Its my little toe as well lately 😞

Hi.

Twitching is usually from a vitamin deficiency. I believe magnesium. If you are very worried go and see your doctor. No complaint is silly. If it is really bothering you they might have a solution that fixes it. Good luck
