Hi all,
I'm a 30 year old male and am having twitches since Oct 07 (19 months)
I'm having them 24/7 in my calves + random every 10 minutes , mostly back, right arm and right hand. I've been diagnosed BFS by 2 neurologists ( 2 professors in MND - 1 of them is an als reseacher for a cure) Had 2 clean emg's in first 2 months of twitching (only twitches were seen)
Now since last week my wrist, thumb and index finger are hurting. Also shoulder and arm pain on and off. My hand 'feels' to cramp but not acctualy cramp.
I notice lately that I drop a lot of things: keys, cell phone, pencils.. However I can pull or carry heavy object without problems. I'm wondering how hand/finger weakness presents in ALS. I can use all fingers & hand. Is it really obvious or is it like I describe?
Thank you for your time
