Question:
I have always been twitchy since i was a child. Blinking eyes, stretching my mouth. I'm not sure where this comes form when you're a child.
Now i have experienced stress in my job. It's at a manageable level now, i can work with it and i don't feel unhappy at going in anymore. The days are still stressful, but i enjoy being busy.
The problem i have is that i stretch my neck a lot. I think it has been bought on by stress. I stretch my back a lot too, and also i'm forever twisting my ankles around. I have to stretch, i cannot stop it. I'm not sure why. I'm forever fidgeting. I long for the day when i can lie on the sofa with my girlfriend and she can lie on me without me fidgeting and driving her crazy.
The whole experience is unpleasant, and i cannot stop it. It is particularly worse with my neck now because it aches from where i stretch it. And this in turn makes me want to stretch it more. I look left or right and tilt my head, just to feel the stretch. I think it has lead to so many headaches, and my neck is very sore. What's worse is that people can see me doing this, and i feel such a freak but i can't stop it.
I'm wondering whether hypnotherapy or acupuncture might stop this, because the thought of having it the rest of my life fears me with dread. I have had periods where it has not been so bad, but has been over a year ago. The neck thing has been for about the last 4 months.
Hi Hoooverman
There is a potential cause for this in chinese medicine, according to your description, and some treatment with traditional acupuncture may be of benefit in a number of ways.
If you are in the UK, you can find a local acupuncturist on this link.
