Hy there. I'm new to this forums and as almost all of you here, this twitching kinda worrys me. It started about 2 years ago in my left triceps and i just thought it was because i started to work out more regulary to be in better shape. I didn't give much attention untill twitches spread and now I twicth in about every body part. Well, then I started googling cos i got a bit scared and when i look up at ALS and MS i don't sleep well since then. I was realy shocked at first, but thanks to this boards I looked a bit here and saw that after that much time it's almost impossible to have ALS, cos I don't have any weakness. Infact I belive I'm in better shape than ever before in my life. So i am (was) sure i have BFS. Then I was a little more calm and start looking for MS symptoms...well i wish i didn't cos the next day i got numbness in my hand (palm) when i woke up. It was like i created it myself, after fearing they will come. Strange feeling realy, never had it before. But it got away instantly when i cleanched my fist (move my palm and fingers)...so, this numbness in palms happend 3 times in one month( 2 times left hand, once right hand), all in morning when i woke up, and all gone after i moved streched my hands. And sometimes i get tingling in my feet while sitting legs crossed. But i can get it dissapear quickly if i get moving again. This is really freaked me out, cos i know it can be another MS symptoms. And here i am asking any of you if should i be worried, cos I didn't found many MS topics here. Anyone had similar problems? I'm realy stressed rigth now, cos i don't know if it's all in my head or what...Thanks and i must say that comunity realy is great.
 
Oh man what you been descrabig i head all of that, and i have seen numerous doctors and 2 nuros and they all told me i am fine and there is nothing to worry, when i wen to the Emergency room 6 months back after experiencing what you been describing because i got so scared wary experienced emergency room doctor told me listen to me only time that we will worry that its MS is you come to us and you cant move your arm or leg. tingling in your feet while sitting legs crossed i head that you get that because you are cutting blood flow to your legs. Numbness in your palms again its your sleeping position i head that to. and stop looking up symptoms on MS its a big no no it can F u UP i know. Ever since i stop thinking about it and looking it up on google it all went away.
 
That's the same response I got from my neuro when I raised concerns that I had MS symptoms. He said "those aren't MS symptoms." I asked what a MS symptom would be and he said, "It would be, I haven't been able to feel my legs for 6 months." Pins and needles are something that everyone gets.
 
Thanks guys for reply! I don't think about ALS anymore after reading all similar topics in this boards. But still I'm not sure about MS..cos this morning it happend again. Numbness in my palm or i should say little finger when i woke up...it went away when i moved it. I don't know why is this happening...as you all know each such symptom makes you wonder again...
 
Pix,Without any stength issues, even perceived strength issues, after two years, no way A"", glad you are past that, as for MS, what you describe is very common BFS stuff, as for you hands, it is only happens when you wake in the morning, I would guess it would have to do with curling you hands in when you sleep, this can compress the median nerve and cause the feelings in your hand, if it is real bad, a doctor with diagnose you with carpal tunnel. If it bothers you, you can buy some carpal tunnel splints at any drug store, where them at night, and if this solves the problem you have your answer, also I would doubt you could shake off MS.
 
Hey Tom. Thanks a lot. Yeah i also seen that you can't "shake off" numbness from MS. So as far i only got them at night and can make them gone fast i won't panic anymore. So thanks again. You made me calm again :)
