I have been dealing with sensory issues for almost the past 2 years. I have been to a neurologists and he said that I am fine....no issues. I have had 2 EMGs in my right arm the most recent in Januay. The only thing he found was carpal tunnel. I was relieved, but then the twitching started. It has been going on for about the last 3-4 weeks. It happens everywhere...I tried to ignore it, until I saw the twitching. It used to be in my feet, calves, legs, shoulders, thumbs, and arms. But now it has seemed to settle in my left arm. It started yesterday after my primary care physician drew blood for blood work. I called my neurologists and went in for a visit. I told him that my concern was ALS. He said that he doesn't see it, but he will refer me to a neuro-muscular doctor.. That appointment is not until April. Does this sound like anything that anyone has experienced? I am still able to do everything. I feel weaker, but I can still do everything normal (open jars, hold my kids, drive, use keys, etc). I read the the post that said that muscle weakness happens all of a sudden...and that ALS is a disease about failing...not just things being more difficult. Does this mean that the weakness progresses fast or over night? Since I can physically see the twitching does this mean I should have weakness by now?I don't twitch much in my right arm, but would the EMG in January in my right arm have shown anything if this was ALS?
