Hi! friends
i recently went to see a neuro reagarding my nonstop twitching and muscular pain, and i need to just clarify all that he has told me.He did a clinical and said that he is not even bothered about me having ALS .
he said that considering my span of non stop twitching for the past 18 months or so i would have developed lot more symptoms other than just twitching and he was more concerned about weakness ( i dont have any)
he told me that random twitches all over the body in different muscles are not consistent with ALS as it starts with a particular region and moves from there on with clinical weakness followed with atrophy,also told me something about UMN & LMN and that with ALS you get both and considering my span he said i would have definately had them.
as i have recently started working out and gettying good gains in my muscles, he told me that i would not have been able to build muscles if i had ALS as they are denervated
i wasnt able to grasp all that he said specially his medical jargon,but was satisfied as long as he did'nt mention ALS
he has asked me get some blood work done for different vitamins , minerals and thyroid.Havent got the report as yet will be meeting him again with the reports soon.
just want to get some clarifications on what he said from you guys...thanks a lot
