looking for someone who has had similar symptoms, or even knows anyone with symptoms and what it might be.

i have been having arm spasm on my right arm for over 3 months now.

they are not constant and seems to be worse in the sun and wind.

Superapostategirl....Thanks for your help!!! My neurologist said sometimes a seizure disorder won't show up with tests, but I hate to have someone guess at something and put me on meds if there is no solid proof. I am goiung to get a second opinion in about 3 weeks, thanks gagain!!!

Looking for someone who has had similar symptoms, or even knows anyone with symptoms and what it might be. I have been having Arm spasm on my right arm for over 3 months now. They are not constant and seems to be worse in the sun and wind. My right arm will go stiff and muscles tighten as well as my hand gets "stuck" for a few seconds. It can happen several times a day. I have been seeing a neurologist for a month, I have had ct scan, mri, eeg, video eeg-48 hours, blood tests and everything has come back normal so far. I am sick of tests. I went into a full body siezure about 2 months ago, but was still conscience through the whole thing, just couldn't control my arms, legs, hands, feet and back muscles and stomach were all spasming. I know something is wrong, and just sick of tests. My muscles have become VERY sore due to all the spasms and would like maybe some insight from someone who has similar issues. Also, I am only on synthroid for a hypothyroid so has nothing to do with pills. I know this isn't a medical forum but any help and thoughts would be appreciated.

As a person that lives in this area I am extremely annoyed by this persons lack of emotion towards the people that have been devastated by these floods. To think someone would actually take a break from sandbagging their house in an effort to save what remaining house has not been flooded, pretty much anything above ground as most basements have flooded in this area, and go search out a computer, due to the fact that power has been shutoff in flooded areas, and post the speakers and topics and crap such as....amazing!!!!

Have you ever been able to get over extreme fear? How?

i have an anxiety problem as it is, but i am passing out scared of riding motorcycles!

my hubby, a biker through and through, loves them and with the rising cost of gas, and his need to drive 45 miles each way to a job 3 days a week and us trying to cut back, we decided it was a good time for him to fulfill his dream, so he bought a beautiful motorcycle that any biker would be proud to own, problem is, he really wants me to hop on the back and join him for a cruise on the open road.

i have tried to "make" myself get on and succeeded once.

Thanks Zeroday, taking a ride when the sun is out on a non busy day would be better for me, I will have to con the teenage daughter into babysitting!

I have tried to "make" myself get on and succeeded once. He is very loving and lets me be :in charge". If I say stop, he stops, if I say slow down he does, mind you we have only putted around town at 25 mph tops and I almost passed out. He has suggested me getting a scooter for myself to putt around town in for my errands to save gas and to help me get comfortable with a motorized two wheeled vehicle, I think a peddle bike would suit me fine and I wouldn't have to worry about my flaming bloody death looming from an accident on a motorcycle.

Any help to get rid of thhis fear and face it once and for all would be helped, if you have had a fear and have managed to deal with it please tell me how you did it.

Also, I grew up on the back of a motorcycle, stepdad was in a biker gang and I rode as a kid everywhere, no bad experiences there. I also had 3 high school friends, one whom I loved dearly, all die riding carelessly on their motorcycles, but I knew it was from their relunctance to obey the standards of riding.

What would or did help you heal from the opression?

there is so much pain caused everyday by the wtc and from people being trapped in abusive relationships, as well as children being abused and neglected.

what has helped you heal in your path to rediscovery in life?

have you healed or are you just beginning?

I guess this topic popped in my head while on vacation, and just the realization that I would not be where I am today without the tools I used to break free from the old life. I want everyone to experience the peace and joy I feel knowing what I have made it through in my life. There is life out there and happiness, we just need to make that first step. Unfortunately, the first step is always the scariest, and it is even harder when you are raised to believe only one way of life.

Hopefully this thread will spark some ideas for those out there wanting to make that first scary step.

Also, for those of you that are stuck and struggeling....I have not turned to Satanism, drugs, drinking, theft, weird sexual things, and God has not turned his back on me. I have been blessed seven times over anything I could have ever desired while living a life of oppression. Stay true to yourself and your values and you will be alright.
