Living with Twitches Forever?

[Hearndog]

I didn't go to him about my twitches however they were brought up, and he said you'll probably live with them for the rest of your life :crying: however he did say we know it's not ALS ) I went to him because of some tingling in my toes, he did all the same test he did the 1st time when I was concerned about ALS, the one thing he did say and I failed to ask him what it meant, is that my reflexes are more briscker something like that, anyway he ordered an MRI of the Brain and the Spine, I mention are you looking for MS and he said thats always a possiabilty but he made it sound like that was kind of an extrem, he's looking more to see if something like even a virus has attacked the spine, I don't know maybe he was just being nice to keep me calm

Any comments appreciated!

I had numbness and they did an MRI of my brain and spine just to rule things out. Does the numbness stay or does it come and go. Mine came and went. All tests were clear. Don't worry!!!

Anxiety can make your reflexes brisker. They are chiefly looking for "pathologically" brisk reflexes, and also differences between different parts of your body. Suspect reflexes are pretty obvious to a neuro.

If it did not concern him it certainly should not concern you, and it sounds like he is as certain as he can be there is nothing seriously wrong. Congratulations!
