Tell yourself that video of your foot does not change a thing. You knew you twitch, you told your doctor you twitch and hope he believes you with your video. We all twitch or we wouldn't be on this board. The fact that you have evidence and your doctor has evidence of your twitching does not change anything. I have not looked at my tongue. I refuse. I have a lot of extra salivation, I can feel it being produced. Sometimes I seem to hesitate before swallowing, but this could be hyper awareness. Same with slurring. I have kept track of thsee things and both have been happening without becoming much if any worse since summer - a good 6-8 months. I had the stomach flu right after that neuro appointment that made me feel worse, and since then I had a painful esophageal spasm while eating frozen yogurt. I have had the spasms before while eating a hard boiled egg or baked potato, but not recenly and not lasting 1.5 hours. 10 minutes maybe was the longest in the past. It confirmed to me that I AM crazy because I know any rational person would go to the hospital with that kind of pain!! I read it can be due to GERD/irritated nerves and stress so I'm going with that. Also read somewhere it is evidence of NM dysfunction. Don't need that! I'm choosing to believe the first option. Since then, I have had the globus sensation for a few days! Started after swallowing a large pill that did not feel it made its way down. It never ends. I know it is common with bfs, but it is new to me, one of the few bfs things I didn't have. I'm sure I can't call it quits until I have been struck by every last possible reported symptom reported by our peers here. I have been under much more stress than just the bfs and disturbing doctor visit in my life lately, so much of this can be attributed to stress. Hang in there, we will be fine! Stay busy and keep dancing away. We have to decide we will be okay no matter what is the outcome and make peace with that. When I hear of a tragedy with a young person, I remind myself no one promised me a long life, it is not owed to me. I will be okay. It is easier if we submit to this will and accept rather than fight. When we fight, we get all into the "fight or flight" mode and the stress horomones start doing their damage that I believe caused this whole mess in the first place.
