I think the muscles that control fingers and toes are actually higher up in the hands and feet. And when those muscles twitch it can move the whole finger or toe. Johnny

J Have you discussed your twitching with a doctor or had an examination? I'm asking because it might help folks here to know a little more about your situation. From the sound of it, you aren't complaining of any weakness which is a really good sign. Plus, your pattern of twitching and the...

Hi calmmommy. I don't post much anymore since I'm not worried about twitching these days. But once upon a time I knew I was dying from my twitches and the newly-discovered asymmetry in my body. I read some of your posts and can just feel your anxiety. Here are some thoughts I had. First...

Congrats Mommy! A one-year twitchiversary is a happy day. Johnny

Hey sherlockholmesz2! Long time, no see. Sounds like you're doing great, glad to hear that. I'm at 2 years, 7 months myself. Feels like an eternity sometimes. I'm happy to see you back, if only to check in. Take care. Johnny

I've had ulcerative colitis/crohn's for about 10 years now. My gastro doc says it's autoimmune. Johnny

I'm sorry to hear that Jodi. I'll keep you in my prayers too. Johnny

Teej, From what I understand, the neurological exam begins the moment you meet the doctor. He/she will be listening to your speech, voice etc and watching the way you move. Stacy's description very closely matched my experience with regard to testing. They are pros and they know what to look...

Carri, That's great news about your workout. A good workout has helped me through many a dark day of worry. Here's to many more for you! Johnny

Hi Lovely! Congrats on your little boy. Glad to hear you're doing well. Johnny
