    I finally got to see a neurologist. He believes that my symptoms are psychosomatic but he'll refer me to an MRI of my brain and neck anyway.

    @RunningMan I was able to see an audiologist right away in December 2022. Unfortunately, it can take months to years to see any medical specialists in my area.

    I'm not certain about her compressed nerve diagnosis as I have no pain or tingling, just a strong jerking and twitching sensation that has lasted 24/7 for the last 3 weeks. She hasn't even sent me in for a scan of my neck or spine.

    I do agree that I need to see a neurologist but I need to be referred to one by my PCP. Right now, it feels like my PCP is just guessing while throwing drugs at me.

    My PCP thought I had strained a muscle and so prescribed baclofen, which didn't make a difference. Now she thinks I have a compressed nerve and so has prescribed gabapentin, which hasn't helped either.

    The jerking is strong enough that it makes me feel off balance when walking or standing. It's destroying my ability to sleep. I'm also getting trembling in my head and vibration down my arm.

    I've already been taking magnesium for the last couple of years (I've never heard of l-lysine). I'm not sure if this has anything to do with stress or a lack of sleep. This just came on suddenly out of the blue. I can't think of any trigger.

    I think I have myoclonus. My left ear thumps and my left shoulder and left side of my neck have been jerking non stop for the last 3 weeks.

    @cjbhab It often sounds like either bagpipes or an accordion playing the same four or five notes over and over again. I hear the same "melody" all the time but the melody will change octaves and speed throughout the day.

    My musical tinnitus began one year ago this week. I had a lot of anxiety for the first 6 months but I would say I'm coping much better now.
