Hi, I have muscle tremors/twitching/pulsations- check out the ALS forum swallowing is mentioned. Oh and are you taking fosomax for any reason because people who have used it mainly women for bone issues have major problems like swallowing. Salud.

Re: Tremors. I started w/ hand tremors that Dr. called
nerves! Then hand-writing scribbled & Dr. said stress.
Morning internal jumping (jittery) wakes me up. Head
started slight tremor off/on w/ more just upper body
tremors. Had many tests finally. Blood, MRI-brain/spine
& all normal. Recent was EMG, not fun, showed pinched
nerve in neck. Neuro said it's `simply'(luv-that), BET.
Benign Essential Tremors. Relax w/ lorazepam or vallium
or have a drink. Wine didn't help tremors but it keeps
me from cracking a crown over the upset of `simply'!
I believe that's what we have but we're dis-missed too
quick. Drug helped but then can't drive. They still say
it's nothing. I can only print now or type. I don't get much sleep which makes condition worse. Inderol was tried & helped short term till BP dropped. I'll let ya' know if I find something else. Luck to us!
