Trying so hard with my twitching

[Terrifiedshakes]

See my other threads. I'm at a loss

I'm trying so hard to sort out why I'm twitching. I'm taking Kalm tablets now and I'm trying hard with breathing techniques

Yet I still continue to twitch all over my body. Every few mins there is a twitch and it can be anywhere.

I'm bow trying to fall asleep but I keep getting woken up by a massive twitch that feels like it's coming from my head. I'm terrified it's a seizure that I can't go back to sleep.

I am so very anxious though about these twitxhes. It's a vicious cycle. If they are anxiety related how do I break the cycle and why are they coming from my head and waking me up with such a jolt..

Please be gentle with me with your advice as I'm so scared I've got MS or a brain tumour or MND I'm sat here trembling with fear and the trembling is fear , the twitches are muscle.

I’d like to share a few things that have helped me alongside the Headspace app.Dr Claire Weekes is my guru, I trust her more than any other doctor. Hope one of these helps OP.

Panic attack talk-down

Zusammen, thanks for that lovely. I'll have a listen tomorrow and let you know. I bet that's really helpful. X

You can get the Claire Weekes book free on YouTube. I listened to them, then ordered the book, only to realise it was the same content!🙈

Edited - actually I think they must have been removed as I can’t find them now.

I slept better last night. I woke up once bolt upright with a hugh twitch but my heart was also pounding, so the pounding heart actually relaxed me as it confirmed that I could be panicking in my sleep and the twitch isn't necessarily a seizure, it's panic, so my racing heart weirdly, relaxed me and got me back off.

I've got the Dr phoning me to dicuss my digestive issues at 9.

I'm having a wobble waiting for dr to phone me back incase it could be pancreatic cancer as my stools are much paler and yellow. Im in a tizz right now. I always emd up on the floor rocking

I've got the trots and they are pale yellow I knwo this isn't good at all I'm going to be so poorly what about my children

Have you spoken to the doctor yet? I hope you're feeling calmer now. Have you tried mindfulness? Living purely in the moment and not letting all the what ifs take over your thoughts.

Mindfulness is probably what stops me from really breaking down. I could probably look into it more. I have a list and working on it. Weighted blanket ordered, box breathing looked into, I've self refered for CBT.

I spoke to Dr and she said to send a sample in to be tested for infection. I asked her if it's for infection only, not cancer etc and she said infection only. She said that yellow can be it's not staying in my gut for long enough perhaps becuase I'm on new medication.

I told her I'm worried about liver or pancreatic cancer and I can't remember what she said as I've got brain fog.

My stool is still a really light clay colour. The runs sèem to be stopping now. I'm really panicking please someone calm.me down I'm shaking and I'm hot I feel like I'm going to be sick again..

Can new meds do this to me? There are beads of sweat on .y for head I'm so panicking

Clayey yellow colour.

I can't be ill my son needs me he really does . Is this the meds? I've been off my good all day with a dry mouth and nausea which I think is the new medication so can this change in stool colour be it too?

Off my food*

I've not felt right today with my tummy, feeling sick and a dry mouth please tell me this coukd be the new medication. The doctor didn't really say. She just wanted a stool sample for infection but I'm not poorly like that. This isn't a bug

I've had three anti depressant tablets so far so are they really on my stomache causing paler stools?

I don't know where to turn with this panic

Stop.
breathe

You know this is your brain and nerves creating an issue, not an actual health problem.

Keir I'm trying to

Have can nerves make pale crap

A lot of the feelings we experience aren’t deep and meaningful. They are basic physiological responses that ‘feel like’ emotions.

So the gut has almost as many nerves as the brain.

We talk about gut feeling, a sinking feeling in my gut, butterflies…

I'm trying to calm . I'm not touching Google as I know what it will say and its frightening

Those are physical things that feel like emotions.

Nerves, chemicals, hormones, all slosh about doing their thing.

So all sorts of stuff goes on, routinely, without us paying any attention.

Hey love.

There is a small chance you could be physically poorly. But let’s be fair to yourself - your urgent medical problem at the minute is your anxiety. It’s crying out through the pages so god knows how tense and tortured you must feel right now.

you CANT be in a place to sort out your body, because your mind is the emergency right now.

have you ever heard of box breathing?

try it for me now

breathe in for 4 seconds

hold it for 4 seconds

breathe out for 4 seconds

hold it for 4 seconds

breathe In for 4 seconds

etc etc

keep going till you feel calmer. If you stop and start to tense up again, try box breathing again…

Yes
