Hi TwitchyAz,Happy to hear from you too.I've seen 4 neurosurgeons, and 3 of them recommended an operation.The fourth thinks it's too early, because I don't experience much pain.They all agree that hand and neck issues are from the c spine protrusions.But the leg issues? I've read many articles...

Hi Christo,Happy to see you around :)I'm not a doctor too, but after quite a lot of internet research (ouch!, bad Google!) I found many information that cervical myelopathy (only 1 doctor used this term for my condition so far) can cause many of my upper and lower limb symptoms.But I've found...

Hi,As I wrote above my neurological appointment was initially meant to test the neck nerves. They made this and confirmed the disk issues.After the initial clinical exam, the neuro suggested that there is really no need of EMG, because she didn't see anything concerning. She reminded me that the...

Hello guys,Clean neuro exam and clean EMG!!! :) The neuro said nothing looked like ALS for her.Thank you for your words and helping me to go through the last days... God bless you all!Andy

Why is my mind so weak and I believe in having the nasty disease?Last week, prior to scheduling the EMG I felt much better than now. Now I'm in a panic I can't describe. 10/10 scale :(And on wednesday it will be 100 (in a 1-10 scale). Need help, please...__Andy

TwitchyAz,I have tried physical therapies, but they did't help. My neck got worse.As for my extreme anxiety, you are right that I should divert my attention to something else than my body. I'm trying my best and the only thing that is helping me is this forum - it's so reassuring.Still just...

TwitchyAz,Thank you for your words, that nothing of my story points towards the scary disease. I'm not googling anything else except "site:bfsforum.com ..." for 1 month... I'm addicted to this site and have nitoced that a big part of th people were feeling the same as I am now when they joined...

Hi Yulia,Happy to hear that it sounds like BFS to you. I've been reading plenty of your reassuring posts in the forum.And I am very grateful for reading and addressing my worries.__Thanks,Andy

Hello Saints, Heroes, SGoTs, Senior Members, Members, Interested and New Members (like me),I feel like at least a Member already because I've been reading this forum for more than 1 month now. I've read many times BFS in a Nutshell, Why You Don't Have ALS 1&2, and many, many of the other posts...

Hi,Just wanted to post an update of an 1.5 year twitcher.A short history:- twitching started september 2012 in calves- several months later I've noticed it in my feet- about 10 months in it spread in the upper body with left arm most affected- I have experienced twitches in calves, feet, knees...

TwitchyMD, thanks for your comment.I actually saw your post before posting my own and found it quite similar to what's happening to me.Hope it will disappear like yours, but it's still going and I cannot concentrate on anything (like typing or even sitting still) because it's so unnerving...

Thank you for your comments and reassuring words.It has been off for several hours yesterday, and I felt so relieved but now it's back. Really didn't miss that $h%t...As for the cubital tunnel - probably yes - I don't have to tap very hard my left elbow, just gently and I get the electric...

For the last 4 days I am experiencing a twitch in the top of my left hand that is constant, fast (few per sec) and literally moves my middle finger towards the index. I can see it and feel it of course. I'm freaking out again. Can such a bad looking twitch be benign?I stil have the constant...

Hi,Thank you for your encouraging words. I'm really happy to hear it from experienced members like you...I remember 9 months ago reading posts of 1 year anniversaries. I thought then that the time itsef should cure us. But with the symptoms constantly changing, and now a persistent spot... hmm...

Hi everyone,After almost a year of random twitching I've developed a periodic twitch just above my left knee. No weakness there, but I don't know how a knee weakness would appear.It happens every couple of minutes on the inner side just above the left knee and lasts several seconds. I noticed...

Thanks aztwitcy.Mitra,I read your posts from 2011 about twitching more after movement.My problem is that literally whenever I move my lefy arm - closing a window, brushing teeth, slicing bread, changing position in bed.. my triceps, biceps, chest, back or shoulder will fire back with seriesof...

Aztwitchy,It's 10 weeks post surgery. Yes, from fhat I've heard it's really the beginning. AFAIK it can take up to a year (or two :( ) for the surgery issues to calm down. I'm sure you remember the site I attached in the "spinal topic". It's full of not worried post surgery twitchers, but...

Thank you Johny and Chrissi.Happy to hear from veteran saints that there's no need to worry.I truly hope you're right.Just can't manage to fully calm down despite the 10+ months being into this...Andy
