I am not an active member anymore because I feel mentally better. I accepted I do not have ALS or any other horrible illness. But I still have the complaints of twitching, tiredness, strange feeling in my muscels, cramping... But after my second EMG (which was OK) I promissed myself not to worry...

Today I have had an EMG and first this neuro did not want to do this because I have been twitching for so long (almost 2,5 years). But I told him I wanted to do this to have peace of mind. So because I have a lot of neck twitches he did two in my neck and one in shoulder. It was difficult to...

I have low B12 and I get every month a shot. It helps with the fatigue and the heacvy legs and arms. But for the twitching it does nothing. Let your B12 check because fasciculations can be a symptom..

that is one of my complaints too. Burning tongue (front) and a spot in my mouth which is very dry (so I have trouble with swallowing). Eve

I am twitching for almost 2,5 years and have the last months problems with speech (like my tongue is lazy..) I am worried about that, but I also know that I have had this symptom when I was 1 year twitching. It went away, but only after a few months. Also I am twitching in my throat/neck. It is...

Thank you for your replies. I think I am calmed down a bit. But it is what Basso said: neck twitches are the ones which irritates me the most... and being irritated for 3 months? And for Sue, I am worried about this area because I do not read a lot of posts from constant fasciculation in the...

Hi all, Since 2 month I am reading again all post on this forum. My complaints started in august 2004. I have a flare-up which started 3 month ago I think. I was never a day (or an hour) without a twitch but now it is much worse. And what scares me now that the last three month it is a lot in...

Hi, It is a long time ago I posted in this Forum, but I have to respond on this. I think it was a few weeks before the twitches I had numb fingers and arm(s) in the night when I waked up in the morning. Also I felt not well, but no fever but very, very tired... Then I was twitching. In the...

Hi Andre, I am an "old" member, dutch and after two years still twitching. Je kunt me mailen naar mijn mailadres. Ik heb naast de spiertrekkingen ook andere vervelende klachten die zouden kunnen horen bij het syndroom. Steun van mensen die hetzelfde doormaken is heel prettig. By, Eve

Hi Henk, I hope you are fine and feeling a little bit better after visiting this forum. I did 14 month ago when my first twitch started. You are right that twitches all over your body are not indicative of ALS. But having these twitches can mean many things. So it is good to see a neuro who...

Thank you all for your quick responses, I feel a little bit better now. However, the twitching in my face and neck scares me more than in the rest of my body. Hopefully the twitches will move to another part of my body... Eve

Are facial twitches indicative for bulbar ALS? I twitch for 11 month now, starting in my hands but it seems most of it is in my neck and face now. Also the muscles in my face feel very tensed. When I have the muscles in a certain position, it will twitch! Swallowing is not really a problem but I...

I have a lot of neck twitches at the moment. I am twitching for almost a year but I fear these twitches in my neck because I have stiffness/tired feeling in my neck and cheeks. I have no problems with eating and drinking but swallowing problems for 10 month now. Is it a good sign that the...

I cannot recommand you something but maybe it comforts you that more people have this problem.. My neck is stiff for many month and the twitching in that area is very worse especially during the night. I am twitching for almost a year and it started in my hands/arms. It was there for a few...

Did you check your B12 level? It can causes twitches and pins and needle sensations. I am not sure what causes my fasciculations, but my Neuro thinks now it could be my low B12 level.. I start with the injections within a few weeks. Eve
