180 Days of ALSc Twitching

Hello,as you often have hyperglicemia (poorly controllet diabetes) then for sure you may have problems with small blood vessels in your legs. it might be number one reason for your cramps. Can you attend a doctor who would check your peripfral blood circulation?Diabetic people are known to have so called diabetes neuropathy resulting in numbness and perceived weakness mostly in legs, which later has bad consequences if not treated (so called diabetic foot). People with poorly controlled diabetes are at great risk of that condition so I probably would suggest to concentrate on that problem, not on possible ALS.
twitching of the thumb is nothing to worry, I aslo have them, everybody herer have them from time to time. Body contractions might be cramps, common among us. Sorry for sayng so, but if I be on your place, I would be rather concerned on bad diabetes control which may lead to real heavy neurological consequences and even to disability (I know one quite young man - below 40 - who had leg amputation because of diabetic foot and badly controlled sugar), not about ALS, really. I mean your chances for having ALS are very low, but chances for diabetic neuropathy are VERY high and I think it would be wise to put some concerns to that real danger.
Thanks for letting me know of diabetic neuropathy, but my concern immediately and fasciculation in the palm of the hand that moves my thumb, I'm feeling half hard, q seems a strange feeling that this querend catch, and normal in this syndrome fasciculation begnina, als will be or symptom
helloonce again I'm my concerns after searching the net, I found the name of the muscle contraction of the hand that has, and thenar muscle I'm having several contractions that move the thumb reaches and catch ele.estou very frightened by this, not like you guys live eaonde more aui in Brazil and very time consuming one EMG, the public service, anyone of you have this kind of contraction in the thenar.
)) it is very common thing. Please do not worry so much, it is one of the most common twitches, like an eyelid twitch, and really not dangerous.friendafter we started this contaçoes my life changed, I lost the meaning of life, the fasciculations appear weak certain times stronger than the other to see on clothes, but then began to thenar fascicular reaching move until paralyze your thumb, I'm panic (making an observation post in my abdomen began to contract also half an hour ago and did not want to stop)
well,if you read this site, you can found tons of stories about people with jerks (contractions moving finger or even the whole limb). jerks are not fasciculations neither fibrillations and are not a sign or symptome of anything sinister.ALS is a paralytic disorder, is your finger paralysed? I can not understand it unfortunately... Even if so, the case number one is still carpal syndrome (which also causes paresis) or other disorders (in your case probably diabetic neuropathy), not ALS because ALS is rare disorder and you really should think of it as a last chance not as first.Hotspots (non-stop twitches) are very common in BFS. Some people have it for weeks and months.practically I do not know if living in Brasil prevents you from going to neurologist to clear ALS on the basis of simple clinical exam (ALS is revealed first of all on the basis of specific changes in reflexes and on the presence of CLINICAl weakness). I am living also in third world country, so not so much different from your situation. And my doctor even never heard about BFS, so my diagnosis is benign myoklonia.
hellomy thumb is not paralyzed, I have all his movements normal, my parents'm shoe designer, working much on pc, what is troubling is the fasciculation in thenar does my thumb twitch and a few moments until paralyze your thumb, and researching the net saw many cases of als fasciculations starting by fingers
I also have cramps in my feet (especially left one), and still did not lost any of my functions...I see that you are worry so much because of what is said in the internet but mostly things said in the internet are *beep*. people working so much on PC have carpal syndrome (me probably too - I work 12 hours/day without day off) and carpal syndrome is number one among false diagnosis of ALS by the way. I've read about that in quite a scientific paper 
Carpal syndrome may lead to paresis and disability, but only in the hand. It is not ALS.Unless you do not lost any of your function, cramps and twitches are mostly symptomes of benign fasciculation syndrome. You have autoimmune condition, BFS is believed to be of autoimmune nature too and is tightly related to anxiety at the same time. So really do not trust all that crap in the internet. Go to neurologist, get your situation cleared and try to encompass it - fasciculations are much more often a benign issue, much more than Dr Google says.
