In Autumn '07 RLR really helped me in a panic about muscle twitches, clonus and also with palpitations.  Have been much better since then, but lately the twitches are bothering me more, and I'm getting an awful lot of tremor-like feelings in my forehead, top of head and top of nose.  These feel like the skin is actually shaking,  but it isn't visible.  I've looked in the mirror!  It is really unpleasant, and I notice it at all sorts of times - as I wake up, go off to sleep, during the day at odd times.  I'm worrying again!  I mentioned it to my doctor and I'm sure he thinks I'm mad - saw the words 'over anxious' on the computer screen.  Please help!

Thank you very much for your help.  I hope you won't think I'm too much a pain if I ask - is it not odd that the twitches I feel can't be seen, and also that I notice them as I wake, when you would think I would be totally relaxed?  The area you mention is definitely where the feelings happen, though sometimes they go over the top of my head and occasionally at the back.  Mainly where I mentioned in my original post though.  Thank you so much again, I really appreciate the time you take to help. I did worry about the degenerative thing - MND, mainly because after my first consultation with the neurologist he said all was well and not to worry - then months later at the follow up he said he had wanted to check all was going 'the right way' - which made me think he wasn't being totally honest the first time and that all may not have been well!  Knocked my confidence a bit!  I know I worry too much - but I never 'invent' problems! I think I am afraid basically that a symptom may be of significance, and that if I ignore it, I'll be in trouble later....not sure why, but my worry is genuine.  Anyway!  Thank you again,

Hi!  Thanks for your reply.  I do understand where you're coming from, and it makes perfect sense.....especially when I'm not actually worrying!  It's so difficult when something weird starts to happen and you get something you've never had before - how on earth do you distinguish whether or not it's significant?  I'm really trying with this worry stuff, and I am much better than I used to be - honest!  It's great that we can use this site to talk to people who really understand what it feels like, coz if you haven't experienced it yourself it's sooo hard to understand what it's like.
Best wishes to everyone, whatever their problem xx

Many thanks, Bead.  I hope your head is behaving itself by now!  And I hope we're not all wearing out RLR in his/her retirement!  So grateful for all the good sensible advice.  RLR told me about the  muscles in the forehead creating spasms - will this affect round the temple areas too, and the back of the head?  I get these pesky twitches there too sometimes.  I guess one muscle will affect another - must be connections between them, I suppose?
Best wishes
