Tongue Hotspot- Anyone else had this?

[Twitchy82]

I have a tongue hotspot! It has been twitching non stop (24/7) for two weeks on the bottom right point of my tongue. I am speaking and swallowing fine and regularly pass all my strength tests but its still so annyoing and I cant help freaking out!! I dont want to go to the Dr again since I have to live with BFS and cant go back every time I have a new twitch but a little reassurance from you guys would be great!

Just so you know I have been twitching for two years, had an EMG on my 4 limbs and the back of my neck that came out perfect and I am a 33 year old female.

Anyone else had a tongue hotspot, if so, how long did it last? Any other imput would be fantastic!

[misterjuanperalta]

Yes ma'am. Over time has subsided.

[Twitchy82]

misterjuanperalta, how long did your´s last. When you had it were they permanant or did they come and go?

[misterjuanperalta]

They were daily, waxed and waned, very noticeable. Six months or so before almost absent.

[Twitchy82]

Did you feel them? I can feel mine!

[Twitchy82]

anyone else?

[misterjuanperalta]

They can be felt and sometimes not felt.

If it helps at all - I have one right now! They are so common - just do a search on it. I hate, hate, hate them. Right now, the minute I drink something - my tongue goes on a little rampage. Awful. You do not have to see a doctor. It will eventually go away.

I don't care what anyone says - your tongue is no different than any other muscle and is susceptible to hot spots.

It does help!! Just to know that I am not the only one! I had actually never had a real hot spot so thats why I have been so freaked out with this one! I have made it a point to not bother my tongue so much and it seems to get better this way. Anyone else suffered from these??

[Twitchy82]

The thing is that I can wake the twitch up if I move my tongue around my mouth, specifically if I move my tongue to touch the teeth at the back of my mouth. Is this normal? It also sometimes starts twitching by itself but it definatly twiches more if I move it. What do you guys think?? Is this normal tongue hot spot behaviour.

[misterjuanperalta]

Sometimes, twitching can be triggered, even in the tongue. I am able to.

[Twitchy82]

So its normal for bfs?

[misterjuanperalta]

From what I can tell yes. Remember, not everyone with BFS gets tongue twitching.

[mwagner]

Yes, not everyone with BFS has tongue twitching, but the vast majority of people do. Use the search feature on the top right, and you'll soon find that out. It's very common. At one point someone did a survey and 50% of people had tongue twitching.

[misterjuanperalta]

I am well aware of tongue twitching, as I experience it too. Also, I do not attempt to instill doubt about it being part of BFS. I don't limit my research to this forum either.
