question: Hi, I have had a series of twitches that have been bothering me for the past few months and I am nervous that they might be symptomatic of something serious. They started around my eyes and nose but they appear to have subsided for the time being. I am mostly concerned about my left thumb which, when resting, seems to twitch persistently. This twitching has lasted a couple of months. I have no loss of strength that I have noticed although there is a mild discomfort in my forearm , wrist , and fingers. I have repeatedly been to my GP who doesn t think that my symptoms require further investigation. My GP tells me that it is probably a case of nerve irritation, hyper-excitability, or BFS. Should I persist in trying to get a firmer diagnosis or trust that it is probably benign? Cheers
