    Link to my 1st year anniversary: Well, happy anniversary to me. Another year gone by. I got some ear clicking and the vibration in my right leg has flared up recently.

    1st year anniversary

    Just wanted to check in with a positive post. About a year ago the whole mess started. Burning, buzzing, twitching. I checked myself into hospitals twice and I got me a private neuro whom I saw about every other week for a physical. EMG in October (clean) with the option to come back in a couple...

    Leg Numbness & Diabetes Worries

    Happens to me as well. I think the MS fear is irrational because numbness from MS would not be triggered by sitting and it wouldn't come and go but persist for days. I am not an expert - so take everything i say with a grain of salt. Maybe Gracely can give her opinon.On the other hand - I have...

    Anxiety and Daily Twitches: Help Needed

    You will be fine. Even or especially in the light of recent events. It shows how terrible the dreaded disease is. How fast there is a progression until a point where you know there is something wrong. I will tell you something. I was in a monastery over the weekend for meditation. At one point I...

    Progressing from ALS Suspicion

    I was very sorry to read this initial dx although I was sure that you would be cleared at one point. The way you were and are treated by the doctors and nurses takes my breath away and makes me incredibly angry. I hope everything works out for you. All the best!Volkmar

    New Symptom: Ear Clicking

    I got a new symptom - ear clicking. This has been going on for about a week now. It's not really super annoying because it's a rather "silent" thing - I only notice it when I concentrate on it. Annoying nevertheless. I googled around a little (I know, I shouldn't do that) and found the...

    New Buzzing Sensation in Leg

    I have had the same thing (still do from time to time). For me it presented in my right foot. I had it every day for weeks. A buzzing, rhythmic vibrating feeling. I couldn't see it, nor feel it from the outside. Exercise seemed to trigger it or make it worse. But it gradually disappeared - I...

    Annual Phone Call with Aunt: Worrisome Words

    Hi there!When I was wandering through the archives I stumpled about your christmas call to your aunt last year. Sorry that you had to go through the same lecture this year as well. Lesson learned: Don't talk to people who are no experts in this subject about your fears, concerns, symptoms. I had...

    No Twitching on Paleo Diet?

    If fasting decreases your twitching take a look at a ketogenic diet which comes close but is of course a little mire feasibleon the long run. I am on a rather strict paleo diet as well but I already was more or less paleo when all of this started. I just got a lot more disciplined, especially...

    Disproving ALS Diagnosis from Fasciculations

    Interesting read indeed. Thanks for posting this.I have read that on here before but it always strikes me that in the good old times only young people in health care connected twitches with ALS and freaked out over it. Thanks to the internet we all can panic about it now.
