Any suggestion for the muscle pain and cramping? I have had it. My left shoulder, arm and hand hurts non stop right now. I can not think that something else is wrong and I can not get ALS out of my mind. My twitching began in one spot and now is more wide spread which worries me. I've had...

I am having a horrible BFS weekend. My twitching is increasing as is the stiffness in my calf. I also have begun to feel a buzzing almost electrical sensation in the same leg. I have been twitching for 14 months at least... maybe a bit longer. Has anyone had the stiffness and electric buzzing...

I have been off the sight for a while- logging in wise. I joined a year ago December with twitching arms and calves. I was scare shi------! I was sure I had *** or MS. Fourteen months later, multiple neuro visits, EMG, NVS, spinal, clavical and brain MRI later, a few shrink appointments and I...

I've been taking a coral extract- magnesium- calcium supplement and the pain that I had been having is almost all the way gone! Maybe a coincidence- I don't know but it may be worth a try for some of you suffering from severe muscle aches and cramping. I've been using it for two weeks and in...

I've developed a new interesting symptom- I think... At the arch of my foot, I keep getting the fastest twitching- pulsating sensation that I've ever felt. When I look at it you can see the skin shaking very quickly- almost a vibrating sensation. I know I've heard others comment on similiar...

I have my EMG tomorrow and of course my twitching is out of control (mostly in my calf). The twitching in my arm and shoulder has subsided a bit but now my calf is on fire :rolleyes: I am soooo incredibly nervous about the EMG! Eventhough, I should not be... my neuro had guaranteed me that I...

I just got back from a routine visit with my GP. She prescribed Lexapro 1x day and Ativan as needed to help with anxiety. Ativan works for me- however, I'm only to take this as needed. I've never tried a drug like Lexapro. HAS ANYONE HAD A POSITIVE RESULT FROM LEXAPRO? I've read a few negitive...

At which point do you trust doctors and move on? I personally had a fabulous week last week... very little twitching. However, over the weekend the twitching in my shoulder and upper arm was so strong you could see it throught my shirt. I've had multiple clean neuro exams, clean Mri's...you...

Anthony, From what I have read the twitching in one spot is a hot spot and fairly common. In my case it is my right calf. Also, it's not uncommon to twitch in other places besides your hot spot. With a diagnosis of BFS from your doctor, I would be reassured. On this site there are people with...

Sue, I have been twitching for 4 weeks, so I to am relatively new to this. However, my story seems very similiar to yours. Originally, I had numbiness and tingliness in my legs and hands. I too, had the feeling a few times that I could not move a limb. I was having extremely bad headaches...

Gary- I would recommend not taking Topamax. I was on the medication for migraines and simple partial seizures. Well, I forgot to bring the medication on a vacation and went cold turkey off of Topamax. A week and a half latter I started twitching. Is there a connection between Topamax and...

This site is such a wonderful reassurance. Thank you Amy and StephG22. I do notice the more I think about the twitching the worse it appears. Major Anxiety! :LOL: However, I'm sure I'll feel better after my appointment!

Hello! I am new to this site. However, appreciate all the posts and support! I have frequent twitching in my calf and a frequent back and forth motion in my pinkie. Of course, I immediately thought of ALS. My neurologists says, I definately do not have ALS and that I'm making more of this than...
