Whoever has followed me during this last 4 years knows that I have described a worsening of my twitches. Twitches are so obvious and at times strong enough to be almost painful when involving a big group of muscle fibers. I have described also the fine ones, and the fine ones that I could see, but not feel, discovered whilst relaxing at the sun.I never took medications, but I have always trained, yet not as much as I was used to do 10 years ago. Nothing "excessive", could we say?Well, following a few days of very bad twitches that my wife tried to resolve with kind massage at no avail, I have booked a neuro visit at that centre (Walton) from where a study which triggered very much anxiety was done. I am still unsure how it did happen to be published without some details about the cohort size and without questioning how seemingly the EMG was very soon followed by rapid deterioration of the symptoms and signs...Yet it was.Anyway...I mainly went to ask if I was causing any harm continuing training, I have got 2 answers: benign process and I can continue training. No doubt at all about both questions.What about the study?Nothing at all. I mean "AT ALL"!It remains that twitches without weakness and otherwise normal neurology are not "pathological". He could have not been more reassuring and definite about it. By the way, without making names as I do not believe there is place for a ranking among neurologists, besides being a "clinical lead" (the clinical director of the centre), he most certainly enjoys the greatest reputation.So, nothing new, as I did hope and trust to be the case.Personally, I will continue training and taking vitamin E. I believe it helps, but this was not confirmed. Just personal experience. I hope you don't mind if I will now leave the forum. In this post, or in my previous ones, there is pretty much everything I have experienced.Probably, I will jump back from time to time, but it will depend on circumstances. All the best and believe your Neuro.They are the only ones to see enough cases to come up with some clinical judgment rules. And, we are very bad in assessing ourselves even when we think to be good at it, when fear is involved.
