Hello BFSersI’m an old timer returning for some advice/reassurance. A little background on me: I’ve been twitching for about 14 years (33 yrs old). My twitches were widespread (including constant cramping /twitching in my feet and tongue). No weakness, maybe perceived at times/shakey arms and...

thx for the reply, I recently saw the post about the lady having shoulder twitching and turned out to be something bad so that kinds freaked me out. I'm worried that I got my emg to early or that it's slowly developing into something. I'm unsure how long the results r good for and if the test...

hello everyone, I'm typing this from a cell phone so I apologize for any mistakes made,For the past 5 days my left arm has become very weak, for example I find it hard to lift above my head or away from me. I try strength tests with weights but I don't notice any weakness there. I do have...

My jaw has been feeling really stiff and weak lately. It makes a popping sound when i open it, i am really scared i may have bulbar-onset symptoms, my speech isnt slurred but my tongue does occasionally twitch along with the rest of my body. I know this kind of onset is very rare but everything...

Hello everyone,Something weird is going on with my hand, it feels as if my hand wants to close shut by itself (But it doesn't). Its only in my right hand, it seems like a tightening sensation like hard to open my hand up! My fingers will bend down by themselves sometimes but not all the way if...

Has anyone ever experienced widespread cramping? For the past couple of days my BFS has been acting up bad and i have had cramps throughout the day in my hands, feet, and back. It seems like its a flare up of some sort but i guess the good part is its all over and not in just one area :confused:

I'm sorry to hear of your bad news, a loss in the family is always hard. At least she lived a long life before she was stricken with the disease. I can however offer you some helpful information. The majority of patients with adult-onset ALS (90%) have no family history of ALS, and present as an...

Hey guys, I posted about a week ago about my hand, i have another question, if i do repetitive movement in my left hand it seems to lock up and not want to respond (if that makes any sense) It does not feel like a cramp. I don't feel any weakness but if i do repetitive motion its hard to move my...

Val, We both seem to be suffering from the same issues, the odd of us both having *** are very slim! I'm 22 years old and i have had a EMG so if i have ALS i expect to also win the lottery very soon and get struck by lightning as im leaving the bank.. Also, i forgot to mention this to everyone...
