Twitching Everywhere - No Weakness?

Quick question sorry again, everytime i read post it always says my symptoms came on and i started to twitch everywhere in a week or something. I had a twitch in my upper hammy, that went away for a while, it came back stronger, but with no weakness. Mine started in one spot, and has moved into my forearm, knee, hands, feet, other calf. The twitches come and go in other parts of my body. Even my lips sometimes twitch. My one consistant twitch is in my upper left hammy, so techinally my twitches started in one spot, and moved into others. Is that normal for BFS? They all didnt just pop up all at once? And yes i get tons of pins and needles from my feet to my hands, and the vibration feeling in the bottom of my feet is still consistant. Mind you the twitches occur when i am at rest, no other time bascially. But im asking since it started one spot and has moved into others, is that a bad sign? Or could bfs work that way as well? Ive read it both ways. I have no medical weakness as well. Im still just a strong as yesterday. And i read if you had a serouis NMD your twitches wouldnt be gone for a hour or 2 during the day or upon awaking, youd feel them or most of them 24 7, and they mostly come after the muscle has atrophied and weakened.
 
So twitches that only occur at rest, is normal, so if something was serouis i would be feeling twitches all over when im moving and such?? very interesting, yea i was told you have hot spots which could basically mean on one leg it will twitch more then the other. Now quick question my left calf is def smaller then my right, and im not sure about my quad it might be. Now i was told your dominate side tends to be bigger in size and muscle then your non dominate side. And is there a corelation between constant muscle jamming in my fingers, to muscle weakness from something like an MND. My grip is still strong mind you just my fingers get jammed easily it feels like. And my common twitch happens in my left buttoxx top of the hamstring, which i am told is a very common place??
 
If a twitch was being caused by a muscle dying, it wouldn't just stop and start based on your activity level. If you have a muscle twitch that you can stop just by moving that muscle, it is almost certainly nothing. That was the one factor that helped me in getting over my early ALS fears. If something is twitching, just move it. Watch it stop momentarily. Problem solved.Yes there is a neurological explanation for all this. No one just knows what it is yet.
 
Thanks for the info - that's what I was assuming. It can be assumed that with BFS a voluntary movement of the whole muscle somehow repolarizes the nerves that cause the twitching. During the movement and the full scale activity of the nerves and nerve endings the tiny signals that produce the twitching aren't essential any more... That's what I think about it.
 
My twitching started behind the knee and upper back part of my left leg. I was standing in line at a bank when I first felt it. Then it spread everywhere and I mean everywhere. Not constant but randomly and it is still randomly everywhere. The only constant is my left hand. Still no weakness after 8 months. I'm different from many here in that I have more evidence of nerve damage (sensory and motor) and that something is definitely wrong but the docs don't know what.
 
yea thanks mario. You are right, whenever i feel a twitch, i just move my muscle and the twitch goes away, or at least i cant feel it. Whenever i am moving around i really dont feel any twitching or any form of it. The only thing i do get is when running a few miles, my right foot tends to have pins and needles after a mile or 2. But i think that could just be caused by the friction of the ground, and the shoe i am wearing. And a quick question? If your right handed, or your dominate side, it tends to be bigger then say if your righty your left side. People have told me that, you have a dominate side to your body, which tends to always be a little bit bigger.
 
No one on earth is 100% symmetrical. I played baseball for about 12 years, and probably threw 200 pitches a day every day between the ages of 12-18. Hence my right arm is way bigger and stronger than my left arm. If none of us knew anything about neurology, nobody would even think twice about stuff like that.
 
Mario its funny you brought that up, i pitched too, 4 years in highschool. Pitched a lot too, and my right arm is def stronger then my left. Funny thing is, i play college basketball, and i jump off my left leg. I cant nearly get as high with my right leg as i do with my left. But yet my right calf and quad are bigger then my left calf and quad. I dont know how that makes any sense ! ha But i think when i run i use more weight and more power comes from my right side, so not knowingly i most likely favor my right side, because of course i am righty and it is my dominate side. Mario you are then man, thanks buddy.Sean
