I'm an old twitcher, I think now around 5 years now, I haven't been on the site for a while, I'm just wondering if anyone has quit twithcing altogeather? I don't twitch as much as I use to, or else I just don't notice anymore. Just wondering if it will ever go away :rolleyes:

All I can tell you is what my nuro told me, "it can leave as quickly as it started", but then he told me later, that I will probably twitch the rest of my life :mad: Soooo I guess I really don't have a very good answer ;)

Sounds like a classic case of BfS! when my twithces started it was in my calfs, I didn;t think much of it ,then I read an article about ALS, and sure enough I started twitching everywhere!! I believe stress makes it so much worse! Just stay here this site is great!! :D)

Hi Terri, For me after I had a clean emg and mri, that was enough for me, but you have to get that peace of mind, so my suggestion is each of us have to do what is best for ourselfs! when this first came upon me I was out of my mind with fear, and yet my husband was like there is nothing wrong...

Wow I just started nose twitches this week!! ( I have been twithcing for over a year and a half) The thing that drives me crazy is that I have to sleep with CPAP its a sleep machine and it covers my nose, and you guessed it as soon as I get it on, my nose starts twitching and I have to take the...

Everything was fine!! they said they saw no abnormalities no leasons or whatever :D) :D) Thanks to all who responded to me during my wait :LOL: Take care, Saundra

My Neruo, did say my reflexes were more brisk then last year when he tested me, what does that mean? I failed to ask him.

Just wondering what to expect, how long do they usually last (I'm having a brain and spine one) how long before you get the results? Any comments appreciated. Saundra

I didn't go to him about my twitches however they were brought up, and he said you'll probably live with them for the rest of your life :crying: however he did say we know it's not ALS :D) I went to him because of some tingling in my toes, he did all the same test he did the 1st time when I...

Hey Mark, Two doctors said that there was nothing to worry about and one of them was a neurologist: this is Great News. You have no accompanying symptoms that would indicate anything nasty so in all likelyhood you are fine. You've read the copious amount of posts on this fantastic website and...

Yet ANOTHER clean EMG !! Congrats !!

Has anyone had a persistant eyelid twitch? For several months now my right upper eyelid has twitched off and on throughout the day. I sometimes go several days without it twitching but most of the time it is everyday. I also have many other twitches bodywide and have had for a year and a...

Have you been worked up for carpral tunnel syndrome? Just curious since you are feeling pain which from what I understand is not typical of ***. It's been a year and one would think you would have seen changes or felt weakness before now if it was ***. If you have not seen a dr. go, it may make...

the grip strength in my left hand seems weaker than the right, especially underneath the pinky and ring fingers, I've been testing with handgrips. I can still grip things pretty hard, but it just doesn't seem to have the strength as the right my left hand can't do as many repeats as my right...

Your situation sounds just like me, I went to my GP and he ran the same tests and told me if they turn out normal he'd send me to a neuro, and of course everything came out fine, so I went to the neuro, he did the strength test on me, and said he didn't think it was ALS but said the only safe...

I've officially received a BFS dx from my neuro. don't think there are many pros or cons either way. gary

I had to go to my GP yesterday for my yearly checkup, and I mentioned to him about all of you here being on klonopin and how it seems to be helping , he had know problem and gave me I guess the lowest dose .5 or something, then he told me to cut it in half then just kinda play with it to see how...

I'm a 6 month twitcher as well. I had two clean neuro exams (one brief and one extended), a strength test by a PT (all normal except shoulders, but that's unrelated), and a normal CBC. The neuro told me after three months it's slim, and after six months it's even slimmer, and he didn't need to...
