That only means that there is a true fasciculation. Usually from what I understand you do not need to hit the muscle to make it twitch, in Als the patient is usually lit up like a christmas tree. I heard that from a neuro. Kerri

Hi guys, How many of you suffer from the buzzing, I hate it, i was up all night long saturday buzzing like a bumble bee. Kerri

I had a great honeymoon and while I was there I found out that I am infact pregnant I must have taken the last test to soon or something because the doctor figures me to be 6 weeks. I was so happy but now I have a constant twitch in my left knew I mean it is going off constanly. This scares me...

I have not been here so long I replied wrong. So I guess this was entered by a medical professional and we should all be prepared to die right. I do not know what to believe anymore. I mean I will never be free of this fear never. Kerri

Was this a Doctors post or just some individual. I have never heard anything like this. Kerri

3 years and no weakness...No ALS. Neuro textbooks say that twitching without clinical weakness warrants one (strength) retest 6 months later. If no weakness after 6 months, then no followup is necessary. (this is in absense of an EMG...which is much more supportive evidence) The rest of us...

Interesting! I have the same sensation for over a week now...never had it before. I got very little sleep and was traveling oversee. The tingling is mainly at the left side and comes as waves. I was ready to post the same question. In addition to the tingling I expierence an increase in facial...

Hi Miss Twitchy :) I'm just a twitcher. No pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, or fatique. You've been twitching for 12 years :eek: I hope I get used to it. ;) Right now I'm at 10 months. Mine started with right eye twitching then spread quickly to other parts of my body. My gp and neuro...

Well if that biopsy was done in the a limb that had emg 5 weeks prior, that is not good, the emg does not do major damage but of course there is a little bruising of the muscle, if you look anywhere you will find that doctors warns against doing a biopsy on a muscle that was recently bruised or...

They emg'ed half you body and then did a muscle biospy what the heck did they biopsy. The mild neurogenic atrophy could or could not be something to worry about, hopefully the doc was smart enough to biopsy an area that was not recently emg'ed or an area that was not recently bruised, if they...

I have seen 4 neuros and a zillion GPS only two said my reflexes were brisk, and I was very nervous at the time. My neuro says that young people are supposed to have brisk reflexes, and he does not think mine were ever brisk. NERVES MAKE THEM BRISK............. And Pole and Jenn are correct...

Jenn I have and as far as I know noone out there is twitching as a result, Ha ha ha, just kidding, actually there is no bloodborn link such as a virus or anything communicable, so I would think you can go right ahead and donate. Kerri

Pole, It is okay to be scared sometimes, and look you brought this article in here because you were scared and people showed you how silly it was, they looked up the artcle and clearly the guy had MND on emg. You are okay and I am okay we do not need to be attacked though, I admire those of you...

Ya know what that is really nice, the first time in a long time that I do not say something totally stupid and I get the crap. What I was saying if you read my post is. THAT JUST BECAUSE YA HAVE BFS DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL OR WILL NOT GET ALS. It has nothing to do with ALS. I told Pole to chill...

As you can see from my other posts, I've kind of been sliding backwards with this stuff lately. I would like to know how everyone that has a positive outlook on here go past their fears. Any tactics they used would be SOOO helpful! I was doing good until a month ago. I actually thought I was...
