Hi Everyone,
I've been a little worried about my latest symptoms. Here's a rundown of my medial problems as they became obvious.
Dec 03 - Fall 04: Periodic burning in arms/hands...sometimes very severe. Jerking in muscles (all extremeties) at random. This occured daily.
Fall 04 - Current: Not so much burning in arms, but I do have the jerking in extremeties and "thumping", "buzzing", rippling (would you consider these fascits?) in random muscles throughout my body. This occurs every minute (no exaggeration) throughout the day. Not as noticable when I wake up. The duration can be a quick, one-time, thump to about a 10 second spasm. It is not painful, just very uncomfortable. I have not yet noticed any weakness, however I do experience general fatigue a few times a week. The muscle jerks/facits occur anywhere at random.
The "thumping", "buzzing", spasms have increased in the past week. Still no associated weakness, but I'm concerned about what this is developing into. Does anyone else experience symptoms like mine as frequently as I do? If you do, how long have you been dealing with these symptoms?
I also have a Chiari malformation and get periodic headaches and sometimes positional headaches (pain in the back of the head when bending down). I'm still curious to know if this all related to the Chiari malformation. I have had three EMGs (Dec 03 clean, Jun 04 "potential for facits", Nov 04 clean).
Thanks
Mike
