I liked the post about what your odds are of dying from different ailments / situations. However, the odds of dying from small pox is not zero... small pox stocks are still kept in 2 WHO reference labs, and I'm sure about a year ago a scientist showed it was possible to synthetically create...

Recently my twitching has been very bad, and I have started to experiencing twitching / cramping inside my throat. It makes me feel rather sick when I get it and a bit hard to breathe. Just wondering if anyone else gets this, and if so, have they found anything effective in alleviating it?

I also believe this was my first symptom of BFS. One day I developed very bad dizyness from nothing, I had to go outside from work for about an hour as I felt like I was going to pass out. I felt so dizzy I couldnt eat because it felt like I would throw up. This went on for nearly 2 weeks. It...

Yes I also get this. As well as my twitching EVERYWHERE, I also get twticthing in my hands, normally in the ball of the hand as you descrobe and also twitching of my fingers which normally feels like it originates from furthr up my arm (around my elbow). Bit of a pain for me because I work in a...

That's exactly when I get it most, when looking at my laptop monitor, or a blank white wall. I also thought it was my contact lenses for a while and switched to my glasses, but the problem persisted. Ah well, when I get the results from my MRI I'll mention it to the neuro, see what he says.

Hi Sue,I've had my symptoms about 8 months now. They wern't always so bad, I would say they have slowly get worse over that time. The visual problems are fairly new (past month or so). It would seem I can blink, see a coloured spot ,often a yellow or blue, like the colour of bruising, and when I...

Yes, I twitch 24/7. I don't really have any "hot spots", however, I do twitch in random spots including all those you mentioned and more all the time. In addition, I expererience very bad sleep disturbences that I never experienced before the twitching (nightmares etc) and some visual problems...

I also get many of the symptoms you describe. I often find my leg/foot going numb. This will sound slightly strange but....It is most definitely more noticeable when I sit on the loo. I have never had this problem before, it really feels as if my foot goes completely to sleep. I experience the...

I also get this fairly often. I wake after going to bed and it might feel like I have been punching a brick wall the day before. I mentioned it to my neuro (I also wake during the nights with numb hands) and he ran some X-rays to check for trapped nerves / Carpal but nothing showed up. Do you...

So I had my follow up with my neuro and got my results back, Turns out everything came back clean - Clean blood work, clean EMG / NCS and clean xrays. My twitching is still exactly the same as it was, which isn't a bad thing as it was getting progressively worse for a long time. I still twitch...

I get the exact same thing, back of my neck. It always feels stronger than my other twitches and only occurs as "one offs" I.e. a single hard twitch and not a rapid burst of 5-10 like most of my twitches are. I also get it on my throat and down my chest or shoulders, always large, and normally...

Thanks for your replies guys, it is reassuring.My appointment with the neuro went fine. He had me do some very simple strength tests, standing up, walking, resistance tests etc. The tasks he made me do were very simple, which made me think that in real cases of MND it would extremely hard to...

Same here, If I have a drink or two then it seems to actually calm my twitching down a bit. However if I have anymore than 3 pints I know I'm going to wake up teh next morning with REALLY bad twitching.

Have twitching that is brought on by moving their muscles? It seems my worst twitching is brought on directly after movement. E.g. If I yawn it uses lots of muscles in my face and then my eyes start twitching, so does my chest, neck etc.. In the same fashion if I sneeze I get twitches across my...
