Normally, I am the least crazy person I know. The one exception is with this sort of OCD-like hypochondria thing that I have. I don’t know how it started, but I am aware of it, so I don’t always take it too seriously, but the bottom line is that on any given day, I think I have some sort of fatal disease.
Today, my thumb is twitching. Potential causes include tetanus (I’ve been on a tetanus kick lately), Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gherig’s Disease, or Parkinsons. Other potential causes include stress, vitamin deficiency, dehydration, or exercise-related injury. It’s obviously tetanus. (by the way, read the webmd description of tetanus, and you may get some idea of why I’m so terrified of it).
Apparently, thumb twitches are almost as common as those god-aweful eyelid twitches that everyone I knew in college always got around finals time. OK, so I’m trying not to panic, because obviously I slept on my arm wrong or I drank too much last night or something, but it’s REALLY ANNOYING to have your thumb twitch constantly all morning. I hope this doesn’t last too long. I’m going to go take a vitamin, drink some water, and do some yoga. And also pray to God that I don’t have a major neurological disorder.
Maybe it’s some kind of neurological advertisement for the new Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie… DON’T PANIC!
