For The Past Couple Years I've Experienced Intermittent Spasms While
For the past couple years I've experienced intermittent spasms while talking. Sometimes I'll go weeks without an incident and others I'll have 30+ a day. It effects how I talk to people and my confidence.
A little background. I also get twitches on my eyelids from time to time, muscle spasms in my extremities and back. I am also treated weekly for joint and muscle pain (back/shoulders neck/extremities) that they think is MCTD, which I've had all the blood tests that have confirmed that with a positive ANA and anti-U1-RNP antibody.
I haven't been able to get a consensus diagnosis and I've seen multiple specialists and numerous blood tests.
Any ideas on what could be going on?
