Good morning,
Just wondering - when the fasciculations start in new body regions, does that mean that's where the disease will progress next? Up until about the last month, my husband only had fasciculations in his arms. That's where his only weakness has been - arms and hands (motor skills), too. I've noticed in the last few weeks, he's having the twitches in his back, chest and neck. He also said that when he yawns, his mouth/jaw will twitch. So, that's what I'm wondering - will the weakness come next in his chest/back? Does fasciculations always precede weakness in that area? I've also noticed he's been clearing his throat alot.
I watch him like a hawk, just like he's under a microscope. Looking for any sign of progression.
Thanks for any info.
Patty
