@rubyblu89 hang in there. Symptoms are still evolving for myself but again functional strength stays intact. The fasiculations are probably the hardest symptom for me to ignore are my health anxiety spikes. I belive I have a form of benign fasiculation syndrome which can have sensory components. I am scheduled to see a neuromuscular specialist in 3 months. Hopefully I can get some closure to this and move on with my life as this has been taxing.

@josh701 Thank you for the follow-up! I also hope you get some resolution. So good to know that whatever is happening is benign and there is no real nerve damage happening. For me it’s a battle with my mind/anxiety. Interestingly, a few weeks ago I had two very relaxing days with no stress. The symptoms almost completely disappeared. Then, the next day I went to ER because my WBC was over 16,000 and my mom convinced me that I needed to go to make sure there wasn’t something serious. Everything was fine, but the symptoms came back with a vengeance after that and haven’t dissipated (I was freaking out the whole time in ER.) That was 3 weeks ago. So I can see there is a direct correlation between stress and symptom severity. But it’s the hardest thing because you’re caught in a loop of body sensations -> thoughts -> more intense body sensations. I have been seeing naturopathic doctor as well and just started acupuncture. I also have been doing nervous system training, directly working with the nervous system to “re-train” it. If curious, I can follow up!
