Stuck in Same Situation Over Xmas

[angusglover]

Well, I thought I would have been able to move on by now but I can't. I was hoping to forget about it at least for Xmas...but alas.....My left elbow (the one with the Ulnar Palsy) is twitching like mad. I can actually feel the elbow muscle moving.....Burning sensation in both legs is getting really really uncomfortable now. I have quite a lot of pain in both hips when at rest in bed at night. Only movement makes it go away...I have what feels like very fine twitches or spasms in both legs...intermittently...more on than off though.General fatigue...Still not noticing any clinical weakness though. Surely after a year, if I had ALS, then my neuro would have spotted it? I guess I am worried that I have a slow proressing disease...or maybe very early signs?????

I feel exactly the same...that was bad Xmas, altough I had EMG 3 weeks ago I thought after EMG I will be able to move on...however Im treating anxiety, I feel the buzzing and almost nonstop twitching in my foot..it sux.Anyway, I agree after year it would develop if it was ALS, in my case its 1,5 years..but its not helping me much.

Angus: This must be the season for legs. I have had fluttery feeling twitches in my legs for a couple of weeks now and it has brought my ALS fear back front and center, which in turn makes the twitches worse. I don't know about you and Savanturn, but I wonder if the stress of the holiday season has actually aggravated our anxiety and made the symptoms worse? I know I have felt more "down" than I had been. I do believe that after 1 year + of twitching there would be some unquestionable difficulty by now. Back in my days of reading ALS sites, one thing that struck me was that the patients talked about how fast things went (my neurologist also said same thing). So, a year or more, you're still moving and functioning well, it's not ALS. Why we can't just accept this???? It's because these darned symptoms won't let us.Keep moving on - we'll get past this someday.BlessingsCindy
