Just read from another member he had theses tightening feelings too..Anyway, the next day it was, as if someone hat put on the "BFS"lights in my body, suddenly it startet all together..first I noticed my fingers trembling and twitching when I was writing on my computer. Suddely extreme tremor in my left Arm, could´n keep it still. My Hands felt out of control and extremely sensitive, it felt like tons of adrenalin rushing through my body. I wanted to lay me down on the couch, but my legs felt at the same time totally stiff and like rubber. In first I did not trust them to keep me from falling , but I was surprisingly able to walk. And then lying down I felt them...the twitches. Like fireworks in my calves..and then popping in the Rest of my body. Saw myself in a wheelhair not able to breathe myself in 3 Years. I started to cry. I knew I had to die...but I wanes to see my kids grow up! I was really scared to death. Something was terribly wrong with my body. I calles my husband and said, my, legs, here´s something going on...he brought me to hospital again. I waited in the ER for 6 hours, before someone came to see me. I was a total wreck, and they put me the neurology station again. A psychologist came, I described everything to her and she said it was all psychosomatic, diagnosed a serious depression and burn-out-syndrome and put me on Zoloft and back to bed. I had the Nerve-testings on wednesday and Friday, but the EMG would be on Monday. So I spent the Weekend waiting for my death-sentence on Monday. Some other weird things happened to my body, like tremors in my face wenn opening the mouth slightly, or extremely skilly hands, I used to get a "shock" each time they touched something I didn´t expect.On monday my doc sent me upstairs to the EMG-specialist. He started with my lower Arm and Thumb Muscle, and the EMG was absolutely clear. Then he got to my popcorn calves and saw the fasciculations. I was scared again but he said that was absolutely benign. He asked about my other twitches and said" there´s an absolutely rare syndrom called "benign fasciculation syndrome", and that´s most likely what it is"I googled this and found you guys, and suddenly I found myself in so many things I read here.Unfortunately the doctors here don´t know anything about it. It (twitching)would stop within the next days or weeks.They also said that you can absolutely not do anything against the twitches but try Magnesium, and that my pain has absolutely nothing to do with it and that I should try massage and physio...So, that was my story....Still many times a day the panic crawls up my bowls, especially when reading in *** Forums I actually read to find reassuring things. But when it comes to storys with EMG´s missing the ALS, I feel my throat tightening....
