Living with Twitches and Cramps

[BartOne]

Hi,So I read in Alonzo's post about the twitchesOkay so I don't have to be scared about the big ones.But I read about the little ones etcNow, I got really little ones in my fingers, UNDER my feet, on my shoulders an my tongue, it feels like tickling/small vibrating. Also I'm getting little cramps in the fingers and calves. I got 4 emg's in the first 6 weeks of twitching: 3 clean + 1 where they saw fascics in my leg. Now I'm very worried that those little ones could be related to ALS, as I read here, also the cramps are a next step in the progress right?Really upset now because I think the neuro's have made a mistake or it was to soonBart

If I understand correctly, your neurologist finding the fasciculations simply means that you've got them--and you already knew that! What's important here is that there isn't muscle wasting or loss of strength, which are the classic ALS symptoms. If you're anything like me, I find myself "testing" muscles, and that can lead to some cramps from overstimulation. Does this sound familiar to you? And since you've read that cramps are the next stage, of course your mind will produce them, too.
