Neurologist Ignoring My Twitching Symptoms

[madmax1362]

Hi, I've had twitching all over for 8-9 months now, and have been seeing a neurologist pretty often, and of course he sees my numerous problems as benign while I'm extremely concerned about MS despite having no signs of weakness, atrophy, etc. Previously (months ago), he said my deep tendon reflexes in my legs were a little bit brisk, but still within normal parameters. Today, I went in again and he said that they were a bit more hyperactive than before, but still probably normal. He thought it was nothing to worry about, but of course, I'm concerned. Has anybody else had somewhat brisk reflexes with BFS, maybe that get a little more brisk over time?

There are many here who indicate that. If you are anxious at the time of your exam, that can also trigger the briskness. Twitching is not a presenting symptom of MS. I was worried about that as well and my neuro indicated in was not MS. I have been seeing my neuro regularly since I began in April. Have you had testing as of yet, such as EMG or an MRI. The MRI would rule out MS.
