I came back to the states after three weeks in Japan and I've been unable to sleep since I got back (about 5 days ago). I started noticing twitching in my legs last night, and it seems to have intensified tonight. Anyway, it was very reassuring to read your post, as it sounds like the twitches (both yours and mine) are likely the result of stress, made more acute by lack-of-sleep from jet lag. I had two days after returning from Japan before I started my final semester of my masters program. I've been something of an emotional mess due to the lack of sleep and the pressure of finishing up my thesis. I was beginning to convince myself that I had all kinds of dreadful conditions. I can completely relate to your hyponchondria - it's amazing how some of our minds will always convince us of the worst. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for putting your experiences in print - it's comforting to be able to relate to someone else, and know that everything will be fine.

Try not to be too hard on yourself for thinking that way. Just focus on feeling better. It sounds like you are on the way and from what I've read you are a strong woman with good support - you can do it. I think somehow the bad stuff can be easier to believe, which is ridiculous.
