What Is My Problem?? Pls Help Posted: 09-04-05 02:18am
It started a couple of months ago.
Thought it was stress, maybe it is, I
dunno. My back started twitching really
badly. Not as bad as muscle spasms, not
visible to the naked eye but all over my
back individual strands of
muscle/fiber/nerves started twitching.
It has gotten to the point now to where my
sides, back, legs, arms, face and torso
are in a constant state of twitching. It
feels like someone is tickling me - all of
the time!
Some of my symptoms include:
my hands are always shaking like a dang
leaf
individual parts of my body feel
impossibly heavy
i can't think coherently
i've lost close to 25 lbs in 2 months
i can't sleep more than an hour at a time
and normally go for a couple of days
before exhaustion finally, mercifully
kicks in
nausea
vomiting
diahreaa (sp?)
i feel as if i'm going through life in a
dream-state. Everything is
hypersensitive
a few weeks ago I had a cold and since
then, the cold went away but my head feels
... Open. As if you took
over-the-counter non drowsy cold medicine
but I haven't done so. My head doesn't
hurt at all but it feels like it's going
to pop, like the sinuses are going to pop.
Related? I dunno.
Constant (i mean constant, I can't even
undo them when I concentrate!) tight
muscles in my jaw, legs and back.
That's my symptoms that I can think of at
the moment. You gotta understand that
everything else is secondary to being
tickled. It's like having a migraine.
You can't stand having light in your eyes
but your head exploding is your main
problem.
I am on disability and can barely afford
to pay rent (literally) so going to a
doctor is out of the question. If I
absolutely have to, i'll find a county
doctor or something but i'd like to at
least be able to have something to tell
them other than i'm being tickled. I've
been to the emergency room because I
passed out from hyperventilation but they
just gave me oxygen, an iv of glucose (?)
and watched me for a few hours. No idea
what is wrong.
If you have any idea what is wrong, please
help. I have searched the internet but
cannot figure out what in the world might
be going on with me and I seriously don't
know how much more of this I can take
before absolutely going batty.

Greetings,
losing 25 lbs is not normal over the
course of 2 months.... But all the other
symptoms, may be but not limited to losing
weight.. May be an effect of anxiety or
stress... It is probably anxiety... I'm
not a doctor... But I hope this helps
you. Good luck! Hope you feel better
soon! =d
