HELLO,
First of all, thank you for the kind attention.
I am male 30 years old.
On april, 2006 I ran my first marathon. One month later (may) I felt some fasciculations. No weakness, no atrophy, but I went to a neurologist. He told me I was fine. The fasciculations didn´t stopped and I back to the neurologist (specialized in ALS). After I persisted a lot with my neurologist I did 2 EMG´s (one in june and the other one in september. Both of them in 2005). The results were normal (just the second one showed rares fasciculations). Then I back to the doctor on december, 2005 (one year ago) to do a check up. He did a clinical exams and told me I was fine, nothing to worry about.
Since then I have been felling fasciculations. They have never stopped. They are widespread but they are not constants (not everyday, 70% in the legs).
Since my first fasciculation (1 1/2 years ago) I stopped my exercises. I was an athlete and my ideal weight was 200lbs. Now I am with 260 lbs. I gained 60 lbs. I try to back my exercises but it is hard to put my worries out of my mind.
This year (2006) I didn´t visit the neurologist.
1) Do you think marathon (or the fact I stopped the exercises) could be the trigger for these fasciculations?
2) If I had ALS, it would appear on EMG´s I made last year (2005)?
3) Do you think I have to worry about it?
It is hard to put my worries out of my mind.
Thank you very much.
All the best for you.
