So, after almost 17 months of twitching, I have now had my second EMG (the first one was early on in after about 6 weeks of twitching). This time they did my most active leg - my right leg. The doctor heard a few twitches in the EMG, but he said they were totally benign. Everything about how my muscles were acting when tensed and then relaxed were normal. For the most part my muscles were very quiet when relaxed. I have been doing a bit better in the last week - my anxiety is down a bit and I think I am starting to "deal" better with this (I hope entering into a "remission" phase like I did last winter. He and the nurse both confirmed that worrying, stress and anxiety make twitches so much worse. He finished the exam with, "Well, I am sorry to say that you are going to be around for a long time. See you in 6 months for a routine follow-up."
So for those who worry, do everything you can not to. It makes everything so much worse. I can testify to that.
