I'm a member of the club. I've been twitching four months now. I first saw an orthopedic surgeon, who gave me a brief neuro exam, told me it wasn't ALS, and then sent me to have an EMG to test for nerve damage due to bad discs. Well, I got EXTREMELY worked up over it, and when they called to change the appointment, I told them I wanted to see a neurologist first. I didn't like the idea of having a technician give me an EMG. I also saw a physical therapist who tested my strength, and she said my strength was normal, I was a little weak in my shoulders, but only because of my disc problem. (My shoulders have never twitched.) I saw the neurologist at the three month mark. He gave me an extended neuro exam, and told me I didn't have ALS and come back in three more months for a final check-up. He *offered* me an EMG for peace of mind. Told me to *think about it* and call *if* I wanted one. I haven't yet, and now that I am pregnant, I doubt I will anytime soon.
