BFS: Tingling and Fears Return

[LaurentHCH]

i now get a tingling (probably superfast and moderate fasciculations) below the feet, in the soles, in the tights and in the left hand. does anyone experience this? with this and new fascis in the calfs, my fear of having the most sinister is also back.i am 5 months into this, and the wikipedia entry on bfs states a neurologist saying: According to neurologist John C. Kincaid: In the absence of clinical and electromyographic findings of neurogenic disease, the diagnosis of benign fasciculations is made. I suggest that patients like this be followed for a year or longer with clinical and electromyographic exams at about 6-month intervals before one becomes secure in the diagnosis that the fasciculations are truly benign. My approach to treating fasciculations that appear to be benign is to first reassure the patient that no ominous disease seems to be present.[4]What to think about this? I am into this for 5 months now.

I get tingling and have many tests showing sensory nerve abnormalities. The neuros tell me the tingling is the sensory nerves being impacted not the motor nerves. My problem involves both types of nerves. I am now thinking more seriously about a genetic cause to my problems. Charcot Marie Tooth is cited as having an incidence of 1 in 2500 by some counts and the articles also say many have no idea they have this because the symptoms are so mild and not disabling.
