Hi ,
Appreciate the amazing work the kind souls here are doing helping others.
My story.
Am an active male of 30 years old who works out daily.
2.5 years ago i started twitching al over the body.
The twiches are like in right calves, abdomen, left forearms, sometimes eyes, sometimes legs... All over the place.
Many of them twitch for days , then stop.
Didnt bother about it much.
Last year hit sites, found out abut MND.
Incidently looked at my First dorsal of left hand, it had much lesser "Peak" than right.
It was not at all so voluminous as right.
Panicked, thought i will die in a year, quit job, went to a doc.
One neuro dismissed me outright.
I went to second, he found that he had observed that left was "different" than right, but didnt need any followup since i didnt have any weakness.
But he did reflexes, found it normal. And since i insisted on EMG, had it done.
EMG was absolutely fine.
A year has passed since then, i still have twiches all over, esp in calves.
I dont have any clinical weakness anywhere, since i do heavy weights, and can grip everything quite fine.
BUT
1. My first dorsal of left hand seems to have shrunk even further when i peak it.
Incidentally i noticed my left hand was never quite as voluminous as right when i looked at pics 5/6 years old. But the size is showing some progressive decrease.
Question is .
;
1. Is the atrophy/weakness so slow that even after one year i can do everything just fine.
2. If atrophy did exist in first place, would it not show up on EMG last year?
What other illness have these fantastic symotoms of atrophy, twitching?
Appreciate if you kind people helped...
Cheers..
