Hey everyone. So I have been dealing with muscle twitching/spasms since September 2014, and I did go to the doctor and he did a nerve test (knee reflexes, squeeze his hands, walk in a straight line, follow my eyes, etc.) and he said I was just anxious and chalked it up to stress. So I went with it and pretty soon after relaxing for a few months the twitches went away somewhat, but not all the way.
Well, I am sick with the flu right now as I am typing this. Got sick on Monday night and have had an awful fever that will not go away but only controlled with Advil (temp ranges from 100.3 to 102.0) last night it shot up to 102.7 and I noticed my legs, ankles, and fingers and stomach area was jerking slightly.
What I want to know is, is this a sign that something is neurologically wrong with me and is not caused by stress alone? It's okay if it is, I'm not scared, but I just want others' thoughts before I go back to my doctor. I want to find out why I have been having weird neuro symptoms for the past five months, and this could be the missing puzzle piece that can help my doctor diagnose what is really wrong with me.
