I'm an 18 year old female and I have been experiencing CONSTANT twitching all over my body for the last 2 or 3 moths. At times, my stomach hands, lips, eyes, left ear, cheeks, back,shoulder black, abdominal walls, calves, toes, palms, thighs, buttox etc. etc. Twitches. Usually, I experiences these twitches in my legs and buttox. My hands also shakem, especially my right hand. My middle finger on my right hand moves from side to side(don't laugh). I also sometimes feel itchy all over or in certain places. Sometimes the twitching Causes my whole body or leg to Jerk abrubptly. My right hand also feels colder than my left hand at times. There are also days when it feels like there's tiny suction cups in my legs, buttox and finger tips. Somedays, my finger tips look shrivled as if I've been soaking in a tub for two hours as soon as they get wet. Sometimes, my finger tips just looked sucked in without even being wet. Someone suggested that this could be a result of dehydration. My body also feels like it's ROCKING from left to right. It 'rocks' so vigorusly that it will sometimes move my bed slightly when I'm trying to sleep. I also feel tingling all over especially my legs and buttox The joints in my legs also feel a little pained or weak. My Pulse seems to also drastically and quickly speed up after only a little bit of excercise or movement.....it did not do this before. I sometimes feel tightness in my chest...although I don't think this is a serious problem. I have lost a considerable amound of weight in the last year(40 pounds), but I did not excercise. Throughout the course of the year, I have either eaten healthier or not very much. My doctor has diagnosed me as depressed. She has told me that there is nothing physically wrong with me because she has done various tests that have came back negative. But I am CONVINCED that there is something medically wrong that she has overlooked. I know this could not be a sexually transmitted disease, because I am a virgin in every sense of the word. I don't know what to do or think, but it seems like my 'condition' just worsens every day. I'm stressed out tired, and only find a sense of peace when I can finally get to sleep. Please give any suggestions you can. I would prefer to be e-mailed @ serene53@hotmail.com...as I don't have regular use of a computer. Thanx.
