thanks for your posts. just out of interest, what were your swallowing issues precicely, sparkrlock and onescaredlady? that is what do you mean when you say swallowing issues. and are your fascics constant. mine dont stop in my calves. thanks again

Hi all, Ive posted many times in January. My fasciculations in my legs are constant and I feel my total body muscle bulk is much less. Now my swallowing is difficult and feel subtle changes in my speech. I saw the neurologist again. He last saw me Jan 30 (and 2 other ones saw me early DEC). In...

IM 31, Ive posted a few times here so apologies to you all. Ive been twitching everywhere for 3 months. I had my 1st full EMG today- 4 muscles in right arm, 4 in right leg and 3 in left leg. All but 2 muscles tested were normal . The neurologist couldnt see any fasciculations clinically and felt...

HiIve been watching it for about 6 weaks but the muscle between my thumb and index finger on my right hand is definitely smaller than the left- at rest , extended or when i make a fist. I am left handed but this is freaking me out as I fasciculate in that muscle too (together with rest of body...

If I had symptomatic diffuse fasciculations but a normal leg EMG x 2 - that should be enough to rule out ***/MND right? There is no clinical weakness 6 weeks later. Widespread fasciculations are present and were at the time but its not too early to have had it is done is it? (5 weeks after...

thanks very much. i just hate how one side feels weaker than the other (arm). the EMG about 5 or 6 weeks ago, there was no fasciculation seen at the time but I had been experiencing them in my leg so definitely shouldve seen something right?also, am i right in saying, that by the time one starts...

im in a similar boat and new but what i can tell you is this- the twitches are all over the body firstly-thats the norm for BFS and there is no weakness in any part of you and reflexes are normal-thats NOT ***

I am recently new to this site. Can i just get one thing straight- if I had symptomatic fasciculations a month ago but my EMGs were clean then, then its VERY unlikely to have ALS/MND right? im not clinically weak although i feel my right leg is dragging even though it isnt actually. I was able...

hiIM 31. My incessant twitching all over my body from calves to ankles, hands, abdomen (flutters there) and back , tongue for the last 2 months has led me and my medical knowledge to the dark conclusion I had ALS. I felt all my muscles, especially my right sided ones were getting less bulky...

Thank you for your prompt replies. When Im lying in bed or out and about and I feel the fasciculations incessantly its hard to believe its benign but I guess I should be reassured by last months' 2 EMGs. I ran 3km 2 weeks ago without falling. Its just that Iread about a neurologist who presented...

HiIm new to this but I think this site may have ended 2 months or so of sheer terror for me-esp the 'in a nutshell'. Im 31 years old (and a doctor- not a neurologist!-an endocrinologist). To cut to the chase, my probelm started end Oct 2007 when i had a gastro virus. i then had so many medical...
