The tests that you have had rule out any of the sinister diseases that twitching rarely points to. I went to a top neurologist and I had an EMG and NCV, and also a thorough clinical of course and he immediately told me that I did not need any further tests and did not have anything wrong with...

I also shake sometimes, and I have been twitching for two years, clean EMG after 4 months and still fine. I also go through stages where my head shakes when doing certain things. I also get ratchety movements in the neck.

This is strange that this has just been posted. I have high anxiety a lot (OCD) and for years I have occasionally felt like a fluttering/dropping feeling in my chest but used to think that it was a muscles in my chest/oesophagus, not my heart. Then I learned about palpitations related to...

Nice to see you back Simon, but not nice as I thought you were going to forget about us!!!I have a question about the difference between clinical weakness and perceived weakness.I feel like things are heavier than they used to be, although I can still lift them. I also get a strange sensation...

Thank you for all of the support. My typing seems off, but I know that I was getting that a lot a year ago after using the computer a lot, so the fact that it went away before if very hopeful. I know how irrational I can be so I just need to relax, not test so much and hopefully it will go...

I don't think I use the computer as much as other people, but it does seem to affect it. It was after using the computer for a few days that the symptoms seemed to come back and get worse. I don't have pain though (only the occassional twinge) and only a little feeling of internal numbness...

Thanks for your reply. But can perceived weakness make objects feel heavier and as if you could drop it at any moment. A sense of tiredness in the limb and needing to concentrate and work more to do a task?

On one hand I am worried myself, even though I was even given the all clear, on the other hand I want to tell you that you are FINE!!!Twitching, then it goes away... you have had more stress in one 18 month period than most people have in 20 years or even more. When I went to the specialist...

Hi Guys,I have asked before, but my hand issues seem to be getting worse. It feels awkward when I am grabbing things and I get a feeling of weakness when I am doing things with my right hand (it is like a ticklish sensation inside with perhaps a slight numbness sometimes with pressure). I...

I get twitches in my lips and sometimes in my jaw muscles. Twitches are twitches, and you can get 'hot spots' anywhere. I am sure that you are fine especially as you get random twitches and pins and needles, symptoms not of what you are probably worried about.Take CareRachel

PLS is when there is only upper motor neuron damage and people with it don't have twitching, just weakness, so there is no reason to think that you could have it!!! *hugs*

Thanks so much. My fingers just give in sometimes when I use them (A LOT over the last few days), and I keep worrying that the issues last year must have been benign as I had a clean EMG but these worse symptoms and my neck may not be, but I know the chance of worrying about something, being...

Hi,I just wanted to mention my hand again (it is obviously vying for attention). I have been still getting the symptoms, but if I use my computer at ALL or do strength tests and the like, my fingers don't feel like they want to work properly afterward. I am not talking directly afterward, but...

Hi,It is funny that you have suddenly gotten this as I had never had bad cramping before either before this week. Although I have random twitches all over, my arms/hands/ribs and then face are the worse. Due to my right hand feeling so weak and still worry about my speech i did not even worry...

Thanks guys for the responses and also, I am glad that the post helped others also.In regards to my hands, I have been getting pain in it the last few days, light throbbing.My hand feels so weak right now, and this always happens after I have been using the computer and I feel like my fingers...

Hi Guys,I know I have been on here a lot and lately it has been mouth issues worrying me, but I have a question about my right hand.Can BFS cause the following feelings?It is like a stiffness with a slight numb feeling/verge of pain feeling/pressure feeling in hand. When I raise my hand up to...

Hi Dave,Just so you know i have also had/have speech issues and some days I really do think that they may be getting worse, but as I only got symptoms after I started looking for them then it makes sense that the worry itself is causing them. That is the sensible me talking, but as many on here...

Hi,There were no fascics seen in my EMG, but I switch very randomly and I think that I twitched even less that day. I asked him (he is a specialist in MNDs, MG and EMGs) if it could be too early and he said a very clear NO. He said that I could come back in 6 months. I asked him if it was...

I really needed this reassurance.It just feels that my neck is weak and the last few days my tongue feels like it isn't moving as much as it should when I am swallowing, like it is trying to sink into the bottom of my mouth and stay there.The feeling in my neck is strange as it sometimes feels...

Hi,I was wondering whether people on here feel shaky all over sometimes, I know that sometimes people said that they get shaky hands, but sometimes my neck and such will also feel shaky. Also, when this happens, is it possible to lay a hand on an area and feel a kind of vibration within? A...
