I just want to thank you first, for reading my post, and answering it to the best of your ability. THANK YOU!
Ok, with that said, I'm concerned with some of my symptoms. I've had twitching throughout my body for about 1 year. I went to the doctor 11 months ago, and he recommended that if symptoms did not change for 2-3 more weeks, get a ekg or mri or one of the two. I can't remember. But because my parents yell at me when I'm concerned about my health, I don't bring up the subject much, and now 1 year later, I still have the twitch, but worse, and I have developed more symptoms.
The twitching stayed in my calf for about 8 months, but has progressed everywhere in my body, especially within the last couple days. Shoulders, Arms, Legs. But for the most part seems to be like benign fasciculation.
Earlier this week, my left arm became extremely numb, and I felt weakness in the entire arm. I did some strength tests in my fingers, just because they felt very week, and the picture below shows what one of my fingers look like when I put any pressure against it. It is sort of difficult to type with my pinky and ring figure on my left hand.
I also have had the have experienced the symptom related to Oscilliopia, which my eyes seem to jump. Like when I am looking at something, everything shifts. Takes me back, because it can be so profound.
I am a white male age 27. I have bipolar, and take depakote, but that's it. I did have surgery on a muscle mass growth in my leg a couple years ago. It was benign. But I had a second surgery because it regrew.
I would not be so concerned if it wasn't for how weak my fingers feel. Typing this is not hard, but it's not as easy as it normally is. q, w, a, s, z, x are all keys that are becoming hard to press, and typing seems difficult now. Strength seems to be there, it just seems difficult to make them go without really concentrating, but when I do, I can still press relatively firmly. I journal everyday on my computer, so I notice the change quite profoundly change this week. I've heard twitching happens after the weakness, which in my case is opposite. But IDK... Thoughts? Questions? Thanks for your response.
