destined to be a lifetime twitcher? with burning feet and toes,and high arches. - Neuropathy Message Board

Hello~

I started having burning feet and toes a year ago. Dec 02 is when the twitching started, basically all over my body. Sometimes days no twitching. Others it's really bad.

I've had an emg, everything was normal. I'm grateful for that because I thought I had a very bad disease..that I don't want to even mention, because it scares me soooo much.

Do a lot of people here experience twitching? I was put on lexapro for general anxiety.

Just wondering??

Hi Renee, I have twitching in my feet, my knees, left arm and now in my face. It can be annoying sometimes. I am on effexor for my anxiety plus my neuro just diagosed me with CIDP. I have it here about the diagnosis on the one post that says weird sensation. Dont worry about that other terrible disease. These twitches are lots of times just benign. Take care and God Bless.

I am new here. After reading some of the posts I am wondering have any of your neuro's checked you for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease? I was just diagnosed in February of this year and I have all the same symptoms. Just a thought.

Have a wonderful day.

Lynn~
Thanks

Sometimes this twitching can play with my mind. I wonder if it will ever stop(completely)

I guess I can live with it. I'd rather have this than some other things that come to mind.

Benign is GOOD

take care,
Renee

I had an emg, and was wondering if Charcot-Marie-Tooth is diagnosed by this test. Is this how you were tested??

I have read about the disease and thought most people inherit it. I don't think anyone in my family has it. My dad has neuropathy in his feet. His burn and he says it feels like he's always walking on stones.

Thanks for the suggestion

Renee
