Tongue Fasciculation and tongue tremor

[tohealth]

I have been drinking heavily for a few years due to enormous amount of stress and trauma over more than 15 years.

About 4 years ago I was missed diagnosed with ALS, and went to China were I was evaluated by 28 doctors - some of the doctors were among the best in Beijing.  

After seemlingly countless tests my 4 neurologists, and numerous other specialists I was diagnosed with extreme anxiety, stress, and depression.  Most of my 14 symptoms that mimiced ALS and MS went away after taking 30mg's of Serax.

When I was in Beijing, I posted the two messages below on this board, and recieve a lot of support.

Please see the details here:

After finally "believing" that I was did not have ALS or MS, I continued to see good pyschiatrists including internationally renowned Dr. Abram Hoffer and my symptoms when away.  He and numurous other gave me this advise, " NO MORE TESTS"!

CAN TONGUE FASCICULATIONS AND TONGUE TREMOR BE A SIGN OF ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL?  I HAVE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS - EVERTHING ELSE IS NORMAL.

PS - WHEN I POSTED THE INFORMATION, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM BEIJING ASKING IF I AM DYING.  I FOUND OUT WHEN I TYPED IN MY NAME THE TWO LINKS ABOVE SHOWED UP.  ALSO, WHEN I TYPED IN "ALS AND SYMPTOMS" ON A GOOGLE SEARCH I WAS THE TWO LINKS WERE ON THE FIRST WEBSITE - THIRD OF FOURTH LINKS DOWN.  

I ASKED MED HELP INTERNATIONAL TO HAVE THEM REMOVED FROM THE SEARCH ENGINES, BUT I WOULD LIKE MED HELP TO HAVE THE INFORMATION PUT BACK ONTO THE SEARCH ENGINES.

I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT THE NIGHTMARE I SURVIVED IN TRYING TO DIAGNOS MYSELF ON THE INTERNET. ALSO, MUSCLE WEAKNESS AND FASCICULATION DO NOT "ALWAY" MEAN ALS.  STRESS CAN, AND DOES CAUSE NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS.  I KNOW.  I EXPEREINCE IT!
