Hey there @captainanxiety8 , I just wanted to let you know I went through the same thing about 10 years ago. I’m 37 now. It scared me so much that after getting several opinions of it being benign, I went to the Mayo Clinic from Canada to find out what was happening. They felt it was benign and stress related. I always find that hard to believe, however stress does make it worse. It took just over a year of pretty aggressive twitching for it to finally subside. Over the years I’ve had minor relapses and I’m always trying to guess the triggers. Stress and illness tend to bring it on. Caffeine and alcohol make it worse. Gluten intolerance is another big one for me. It takes months to subside and tends to go away without my noticing. I also get pins and needles and nerve pain with it as well. Currently I’m having another relapse after years of nothing. I was feeling under the weather for the week and it just hit me again. It still gives me major anxiety when it occurs. Even though I’ve been down this road I always fear it’s something worse. I Have to remind myself that it does subside eventually, even though it’s hard to believe. Your not alone. I think the best remedies is trying to get more sleep, less stress, less anxiety, gentle exercise (walking) and a healthy diet. It’s a tricky one because for me the condition itself is the cause of my anxiety and that’s just makes the symptoms worse. I hope your doing a little better now. I truly feel with this one, time heals and relapses happen. I also feel my initial onset of symptoms came after a bad virus.
