I have to say my life was so much better before I started with this problems. I used my right arm every day, every time, for hours without getting any pain or heavyness sensation, I had any tremors on my index finger. I felt confortable every time with my body. I felt strong and my muscles would NEVER hurt.Now, I cant use my right arm for much time before it starts to hurt and feel fatigued. I cant sleep some nights because my back starts to twitch like hell even waking me up. When my fingers twitches they are very distractive and they make it very hard to concentrate on something.I did 4 emgs because it is very hard to accept so much problems are trully benign: The first emg was made when this started and it was ok. 5 months latter, on the second emg I heard so much noise, I saw so much waves on the screen and I asked the doctor if they where fibrilations or psws and she said that they were voluntary contractions that they where happening because I was so nervous. When the report came I was impressed by the fact that it came up clean. All the noise I heard and all the waves I saw where considered nothing to the doctor that tested it.So I was not convinced and I thought that the doctor missed something and them I went to another emg clinic and did my third emg on the same day. The doctor looked at my reflexes and said they where normal. During the emg, after she inserted the needle on my muscles, she started to poke them with a hammer and wait, and after she did that on 14 muscles on my body she said to me that she could not find nothing, even a fasciculation.15 days latter I was still not convinced and went to another doctor to perform another emg. That doctor was faster and did not poke my muscles after inserting the needle. After testing 12 muscles, she said that she not found even a fasciculation. That all my reflexes where normal and that I do not have ALS.All the doctors who did emgs doubted me when I said that I fasciculate every time.So it is benign and I am glad it is, but it is a pain. I am not the same person I was one year ago. I feel my muscle cant tolerate the effort they could before this started. They fatigue faster, recover slowly and the burn pain I get when I use them is very intense. I did not had unintentional movements on my fingers. I did not get pain on my muscles when waking up without doing any exercise. My muscles were quiet and I could concentrate without them distracting me.My life was so much better.I pray for god every day for this to stop.Maybe some day he will listen to me and I will wake up feeling stronger and with my muscles only contracting when I command and not when they thing they should.
