Hi, I've consistently experienced the following for six months. I'd appreciate any thoughts.
- body wide fasciculations, legs most common area
- perceived weakness in left leg, right shoulder, lower back (nothing noticeable by neurologist)
- difficulty breathing
- exercise routine cut to about 1/3
- constant fatigue that greatly affects my day
- difficulty paying attention, depression
- drool almost every night when asleep
- pinky and index fingers of both hands fall asleep easily, mild pain
- left side of stomach protrudes more than right
- left eye strain, esp when waking in the morning
- difficulty opening eyelids in morning
- fingers contract when yawning
- body jumps when surprised & makes small jerks in specific areas, particularly at nighttime
- all clean: mri, eeg, muscle biopsy of left thight, entire spine mri.
- emg showed slight slowing of right ulnar nerve, neurologist did not feel was indicative of an issue
I'm aware a basically clean emg will be a very positive point of focus.
