That's my fear. :(
> I used to pass out a lot when I was a teen. I don't remember there being any movements when I was out. But my experience isn't extensive.I'm not sure why, but I want to say that it's not uncommon for teens, perhaps especially girls? But I have no idea what would be going on then versus now. What's in common is the stretching back. The twitching and stuff is new.
I tried googling my smptoms, but mostly what I got was links to medical dictionaries. I also tried to look up general fainting/syncope, but I couldn't tell if the twitching part was common or not.
I went to the doctor on Friday, and he did basic checks and then referred me to a neurologist. I go there Wednesday afternoon. Friday's doc said that the twitching is not unheard of, but since it was new to me, he wanted me to get checked out. I agree with him.
Incidentally, I saw my T while I was in the waiting room. :) He asked me how my garden was going this year. I felt rather tongue-tied as I was preoccupied with this fainting thing.
thanks, I'll let you know what they say tomorrow.
