This was a big step for me and I put it off for so long because I was worried people would judge me for trying to make a living from this but it was either go back to full time work and have very little time to create content or utilise everything that I know and attempt to help people to get to the place that I am at now which is living a happy, full and joyful life with my health anxiety kept at bay.

Thank you so much cherelle I have beaten my health anxiety because of you. Although I am still twitching but I know that I am healthy and I don't suffer from health anxiety anymore.And if I have bad day I'll come back to your video and feel better. Thank you
This is so fantastic to hear! 👏🏽💜

I’m just going to keep thanking you for you content. It’s truly helpful.
You are not a hypocrite. The other day I had accepted it was anxiety yet the next day I kept thinking something is wrong and I will never get better. One day I was talking to my grandaugher whom I love very much and I forgot about myself and the anxiety lifted. It was only about 20minutes but it was lovely.
Thanks for the help and honesty.
I’ve been twitching (on and off) for 15 years and counting. Flares up whenever I’m super anxious or over-tired. I wish I could give 20 year old me a big hug and tell them everything would be ok. I wasted so many years worrying about that disease. Too much information is never a good thing.
Did you also have twitches on your finger? Or was it only a face thing?
@@besteterzioglu9258 I had/have them absolutely everywhere. Fingers, hands, toes, tongue, ear drum (weirdest sensation). You name it. From years and years of research & my own first-hand experiences, I’ve learnt that twitches are very benign in the vast majority of cases.
@@Vanessa-jy4ky I think it is because anxiety. Body takes time to slow CNS.
Thanks for this great video. 👍🏽
I had intense isolated twitching in three or four places my right quad muscle for 18 days NON-STOP. The twitches manifested after a deep yoga practice about three weeks after a moderate COVID infection. After four days of twitching I had barely slept and was so anxious I went back on sertraline- which I hadn’t taken for six years. My anxiety also caused myoclonic jerks at night which made it impossible to sleep, so I was prescribed another medication to take at night to help calm me enough to sleep. I literally thought I had rabies at one point I was in such a panic. I still have generalized twitching, but as a health anxiety sufferer, I am used to that. Hang in there. ❤
I started twitching in January 2023 one month after our dog passed away. She was sick with heart problems and the last six months were very stressful, maybe that's what triggered the twitching who knows... anyway, at first it was just only left chest muscles, sometimes the whole muscle would vibrate non stop for at least 10 minutes it was super annoying. I thought it was my heart because my neck and left arm started to hurt. Fast forward a couple of months my lat muscle started to twitch non stop for 3 days. And then my whole body. Went to a neurologist and they did an emg and everything came back normal except for just carpal tunnel syndrome on both wrists. Nine months later I'm still twitching but I'm still going strong. Lifting weights and getting stronger everyday. Funny thing is that after I lift the twitching stops for a few hours and it comes back the next day when I wake up. I've noticed that the less I think about it the less it happens. Thank you for your videos. They really did help especially when I was starting to fear ALS.
I have the fasculations in both calves. I have had twitches before in the backs of my legs , my hand and my thumb. I think I’m now realising it’s because I have recently started to work out again. It always stresses me out that it’s ALS. Thank you for your helpful videos. They really calm me when I get into the antic stages.
This started happening to me about 2 years ago. And only did it start constantly since last october. And its still happening.
Hello, thanks a lot for your vidéos ! Do your fasciculations stopped at a moment ? I've been living with them for a month non stop now..
I usually have very localized twitching, now I have "hopspots" all over, both thumbs, both quads near knee, lip, tongue (right side), left tricep and lately some thing muscle on the side. It usually lasts from few days to few months! I did EMGS of course, and neuro exams, and I exercise two times a week, but still when I get it I panic, because the damn thing is always different! it's always different location on body and different behavior! Sometimes, it twitches only at rest, sometimes, after workout, sometimes it's constant, sometimes intermmitent, sometimes it's barely there small pulses, sometimes it's strong aggressive twtiching that can move an arm or leg... It's just.. I can't say "oh, I had this before, it's nothing" because it's always different.
How do people manage to sleep? I get like 3 hours a night with the twitches constantly.
Hello Cherelle, your video helped me alot, I have this strange twitching hotsports. One particulary thing that worries me is that the twitching intensifies if I contract the muscle and after that immediatly relax it, it starts twitching. Did you also had this symptom ?
Mine too
Hello Cherelle, i have more and more Twitching. First in one calf and now all body. But i ve also pain / burning in legs and tired muscles. Is it mean a start of weakness ?
Same here! My legs feel strange like burning sensation, I've been like this for 3 weeks now no weakness, how are you getting along?
@@kevinlester5113 no change. Burning leg, Twitching and some pain
@@huglion Anything new ? Also started this this month.
I have twitching all over my body, it’s definitely worse when my anxiety is worse. I fear ALS and it makes it a lot worse having one person in my family that had in 4 generations ago.
It's almost inevitable that you have a person in your family with ALS if you look 4 generations back. Not having multiple people in several consecutive generations means it's not familial.
@@jussitoivanen5097 it's not almost inevitable at all amongst 4 generations, 4-5 per 100,000 in the US, I think it would still be very unfortunate if someone did within 4 generations.
That said; you could be right, the older you get the more prone you are to rare neurological diseases from parkinsons, alzheimers through to the rarer ALS and MND diagnoses. That said at a certain age you're far more likely to get and die from the big bad C or cardiac related issues.
@@mrdanniYour figure is the yearly incidence but the lifetime risk of ALS is much higher, i.e approx 1/300. Now consider e.g. 40 people in a family in a generation and 5 generations. At least it’s very probable.
Yes but you have to consider other things, especially in sovereign countries and the West.
You have people living to a much older and riper age now unlike before, a million different ways to keep an older person healthy to live longer.
Most neurological disorders / diseases are diseases of age, the longer you are alive and the older you are the more susceptible you are. This is true for all neurological diseases.
There is a reason why the average diagnoses for this horrible disease as rare as it is; is 55 upwards, same can be said for parkinsons, dementia, alzheimers and the rest of them.

My muscles are twitching everywhere, especially my left bicep. It actually woke me up last night. Could muscle twitching be a sign of an infection also?
Lyme disease can cause it
Same here I try not to worry; however, despite faith can’t help it
Lyme disease can cause twitching.
Currently I have a hotspot in my right biceps, next Monday will be 3 weeks.
Ii twitches 24/7, sometimes it's more visible and sometimes it's like a pulse, like having a tiny heart in my biceps.
At the begining it was really annoying but now I don't paid it any attention.
By the way I'm a 3 months body wide twitcher and sometimes I went to that nasty rabbit hole because of my health anxiety.
Hello @Eme Jay Elle, How are you now? Do you still twitch? I have body wide twitching going on for 3 months and now from 2 days 24/7 side of my foot is twitching its the first hotspot in 3 months.....I am really very worried about this😔....
@@top10amazings4 Hi, currently I still twitch, they decreased a little bit because I went to neuro last month, he cleared me out and told me that this is benign and he gave clonazepam, so it helps me just a little bit. My hotspot in my right bicep was there almost 3 months and one day it stoped, now I have sporadic twitches in that bicep but not a hotspot like that. And of course I twitch in the rest of the body as well.
Happy for you that you are better now....
You any better now - 8 days into my bicept twitching but 3 months for both calves and feet
@@jonathonhoggarth6473 Hi!! Yes I'm better now, sometimes I have twitchings in my biceps but they last maybe one or two days and not a whole month like before.
My quads and shoulder cuff area man
Can we talk about widespread twitching pls. Bottom of feet. Arms. Thighs. Sides of legs. Back lips. Butt. Knee anywhere you can think of . Going on 2 months.
Have you figured it out ? My just started ..
im on 3 months.
I have been having twitching all over all day. I bet i dont go 10-15 minutes in a day without a twitch somewhere in my body. At night its mostly my calves. Tremors and twitches. This started around last august. I felt like it was dying down a lot then i got super anxious the other night and ever since its been worse than its ever been. Last may i had been tasting blood and spitting it out a lot. Every 3 or 4 weeks i would spit up a table spoon or so over the course of several days so you can imagine my anxiety was through the roof. I really believe thats what has caused all of my twitching. I can remember over 10 years ago i would get eye twitching when i was super anxious. Never this extreme though. But i also feel like my anxiety has gotten worse because of my health issue last year.
I got admitted to the hospital for 3 days over Thanksgiving because my oxygen levels dropped when I was up walking and I stay short of breath. They did CT on my lungs, CT of my nasal, xray of my chest, blood work, lung scope, stomach scope, ekg and ultra sound of my heart, all came back good.
Mine started january 2023
The worst ones for me are:
- Inside of the foot
- Inside my pp hole
- My ball vein (absolutely weird)
- That small muscle that helps you move your ear (you can hear it twitching)
Was ups
One word - ASHWAGANDA , give it a try and let me know what y'all think! :)
Здравей ! Видях коментара ти и ще опитам ашвагандата, дано ми помогне … имам “туитчес” постоянно и не знам как да си помогна ….
@@lidiaatanasova3460 ще си помогнеш най-много като се успокоиш, звучи лесно и просто, както всъщност е, но изисква много време и усилия. Успех
@@thelegendalexander благодаря ти за отговора. Успех и на теб ! 😊
No response for me unfortunately
Nah research
Talk about having no appetite related to health anxiety if you can ....
Will do!
I’ve got a hot spot in my right hand. In between my index finger and thumb. I flex and I can make the twitch stop. Sometimes I can even flex my elbow and arm and it will stop. Deep breathing and sleep seems to help it. My right arm feels weak but I’m still fully capable of everything. Looks like I have a dent in my forearm when I flex.
The health anxiety is rough. You are an angel for making these videos.
Hello James! How are you now? Hope you’re doing better.
@@thaislence7510 the twitching continues. Not continuous but all over. Arches of feet, calves, arms, eyelid, hand. It all comes and goes. No weakness or atrophy. No loss of any abilities or clumsiness.
With my hands in particular if it starts to twitch, I make a fist to tighten the muscles in my hands and I can almost always get it to stop twitching. Give my hands a break from work and it usually stops for days or weeks at a time. High stress, lack of sleep, low water intake all seem to have an effect.
Ive been lifting weights and working on house projects to keep my mind off any negative thoughts and it seems to be working.
I hope all is well with you!
@@jamesdean9957 Oh that’s great to read!!! Thankfully you couldn’t notice anything more than that. And finding distractions as well as taking care of your body and mind is very important and great for this kind os situations. I also been having twitches for a month now, basically at the same spots you mentioned but also in my back and around my mouth. I believe is due to a very stressful 3 months period I had to experience this past year, since I don’t notice signs of weakness as well. I hope everything gets better for us!!!
@@thaislence7510 the longer the twitching continues without failure the better. If you need to chat let me know. I can say the road is a long one and my journey isn’t over yet but it does get easier. You do get better.
Yeah same. My right thumb literally moves as it twitches , comes n goes in the day, if it’s relaxed it twitches more , been going on for a day now. No weakness or clumsiness but my thumb literally moves while it spasms. I dunno if I’ve slept on my arm funny. I did have twitching in my right calf for about 2 weeks, not stop a year ago and then it just went on its own
