Moderator: please remove my old thread and don't move this one. My last one was so long no one read it and I really need answers so I condensed it here. Please please please!
Hello to all,
I really need some input from you all I'm losing my mind over this! I have been having full body twitching for about a month now from head to toe with sore muscles and some fatigue and cramping. No weakness in arms or legs.
Neuro did strength test and emg which showed up as light muscle irritation in leg most likely due to pinched nerve, but no ALS they were very certain of this. MRI of brain and blood work came back great. Shortly after this I noticed that when I smile the right side of my face and lips shake after I hold it for a few seconds.
Also when I close my right eye it also seems to shake the upper part of my cheek. And last night after noticing it a spot under my right eye started to twitch but it stopped by morning and hasn't started up again. Does this sound like anything ALS related?
The dr checked my jaw muscles by pulling on my lips when closed and tested my toungue strength and all was good. I would like to add that I have been extremely anxious lately and every thing that happens I notice very easily.
I want to trust the neuro and the emg was negative even though they heard the Faciculations on it. Could they have missed it in my face? I assume if twitches were heard in my right arm and leg ( which they said they were) it would have shown any signs but I have doubts.
I also feel like the left side of tongue is raw and rubs against the left side of my teeth when I say certain words. And I noticed the back of my scalp moves when I raise my eyebrows.
I'm hoping it's just nerves or that I have been clenching my jaw due to stress all day. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you all!!
