Does anyone experience neck twitching?!
Question:
Does anyone experience neck twitching?
Hi all, this may sound strange but when I am really nervous, I get this sort of twitch in my neck! It really gets me down cos I am so sure people can see it. It only happens when I'm nervous so I don't think it is a physical prob. I get this at the till in shops, when I am sat opposite someone eg interview or eating out. anyone have a similar problem or know how I can solve this? It's putting me off going anywhere these days!
Answers:
You may want to see a neurologist about the twitch. I had the same condition when I was first diagnosed with anxiety and started to receive anti-depressants.
I have now been diagnosed with Spasmodic Torticollis or Cervical Dystonia. A lot of the medical professionals I have mentioned this condition to have never heard of it or think it's nothing more than a "tic". Believe me, it's nothing even half that trivial. Please be sure that the neurologist you see is one who specializes in movement disorders or you could be shrugged off, as I was many times. I now have progressed to the point where I can't work and my head is almost always stuck to my right shoulder because I haven't been able to get treatment. The social security system is just as clueless as many of the doctors I've seen. So, please see a specialist a soon as possible. Early treatment may help you in the long run. Good luck.
