It’s normal you don’t have anything physically wrong with you, if you had they would of found out with the tests. We all have the same symptoms are head are tricking us with as I know as my palpitations have come back after a month of not having them and same with my muscle twitches/spasms. Try not to be scared and be afraid of it, you are not going to die so relax and tell yourself you are in control and not anxiety.

What do you do to take your mind off from it?

How do you keep your mind off it?

[Hidden in reply to Illboy]

I do meditation that has helped me a lot. I put a video on from YouTube and relax watching it till I fall asleep.

This is not MS or any physical illness, I understand you've had medical tests and all was fine, you must accept that this is anxiety and these symptoms are common. Don't try to blank them out of your mind, accept them calmly and with a minimum of fear and attach less importance to them. Pre-occupy yourself doing things that interest you, the important thing is to minimise your fear because fear is what fuels your anxiety. You know that this is nerves, not some serious physical illness, so there is no longer any need to be frightened, just practice calmly accepting these uncomfortable symptoms and your nervous system will become de-sensitised if you are patient and let time pass.

But I havent had any tests regarding MS

Trust us, you haven’t got MS, MS takes years to develop, and with a whole host of different symptoms.

We have mostly been where you are, scared, vulnerable, panicked. Wondering what the heck is wrong with us. Well, as daft as the answer seems there’s nothing wrong.

Personally I have palpitations, chest spasms, racing heartbeat, pins and needles, I’ve had several complete panick attacks, one so bad it put me in hospital with a suspected heart attack.

It takes time, my biggest piece of advice is “don’t worry” it will make it worse. When your legs start to spasm maybe go for a walk? Or just do something that moves them. Don’t take your mind off it, but learn to accept it’s happening and it’s harmless. In time with that approach you’ll begin to heal and accept.

Illboy, I went through the very same thing in my 20s. I was SO SURE I had ALS or MS. It got so bad that I could just think about it and my legs would start... I could see them twitch all up and down the length of each leg. I slept with medical books! There was no internet. I would go on a walk or take a warm shower. If you can just distract yourself and relax about it they will fade in time.

You sound exactly like me! I feel so much spasms when I try to sleep in legs , thighs , calfs , chest , back etc . They sometimes dont let me sleep and it seems as if my body is dancing lol
