So I've been twitching now for roughly ~12months and just now had my first neurologist appointment as I finally scheduled one a few weeks back. The guy isn't ALS specialized by any means but still seemed to generally understand it pretty well. He just checked my reflexes and hand/arm strength...

Xina,The simple fact that you have been twitching for 20+ months and are having multiple neurologists tell you you have something that is not MND tends to mean that you very very likely don't have MND. Get the MND out of your mind in my opinion. Easier said than done I know. Is it possible...

- Since mid October I started having this tickle in my throat near constantly and it has begun getting much worse. Clearing it only resolves the issue for 5-10 seconds at best. It is heavily influenced by eating or drinking anything. If I eat, it feels like it takes extra effort to get food down...

TwitchyMD, If you've been on this board for 4+ years, I really wouldn't be worried that this is *** :p. This is almost guaranteed to be something quite minor, if anything at all. I have a very similar problem since October where my voice goes hoarse after eating/drinking and I get that tickle-y...

So, I've been body wide twitching for over 9 months now. Everything twitches, tongue constantly tremors, etc. I haven't been properly diagnosed with anything nor been to anyone other than a GP yet who wasn't very worried at the time (5 months+ ago), though I didn't have or notice most of these...

Anyone else mainly only get hotspots on one side? Ive twitched everywhere but I would say nearly all my hotspots have been on my left side. Right now my left hand and fingers are twitching in every place imaginable. At the end of the day I would say 90% of my twitching is left side of the body...

I just started noticing a similar twitch in my left hand. It's in the meaty part of the palm below the thumb. Sometimes there are visible twitches there, but often times there seems to be a twitch I can only feel if I place a finger around that area. Pretty sure it's not my pulse as it comes and...

I've been the same way since this started. My feet and hands both get extremely cold. I've always been more cold-natured, but I had never had it anywhere near this bad until this year.

So for the past 5 weeks I've pretty much had a globus sensation 24/7 and it has never gone away. Been having constant throat clearing + coughing trying to get rid of whatever it is. Constant inability to clear my throat properly. It feels like I have to swallow twice pretty often as well. I'm...

Thanks for the response neville. It's just kind of scary to me because it looks somewhat similar to all these "ALS tongue" videos you see. I know I'm not thinking logically though when I search the internet like an idiot. Curious what other people think as well, though ;). Thanks again.

I made some new, higher quality (sort of!) videos for your viewing pleasure since the other ones were pretty bad. You might have to download them as mp4s on Dropbox is kind of weird: - Tongue slightly extended / crazy quivering look (I understand the tongue needs to be at rest, was trying to...

My tongue looks exactly like your tongue, slight crack in the middle included :p. I'm pretty sure the crack formed from stress. My tongue quivers pretty much nonstop too.

When you guys get the finger twitching does your handle start to feel "off"? My left hand fingers have been moving side to side like crazy for 5 days now and it just makes my hand feel weird and kind of stiff. It's kind of screwing with my work (I work on a computer 10+ hours a day :p). It's...

My tongue twitching is pretty much constant and I cannot feel it. I get the big twitches which are probably just my tongue not staying still and then I get very fine rapid fire twitches on the surface of my tongue (like 10 in a second). They're really not visible with the poor video quality...

Happens to me pretty often and I've been twitching for 6 months, but haven't been to a neuro. If I twitch consistently in any area for a while that muscle will get tired until the twitching finally subsides. Right now I have near constant twitching in all the fingers in my left hand for the past...
