Default What is going on with me?

I have posted before, but since the beginning in march i get more and more symptoms:

March: fasciculations and cramps in calves
April: continuous fasciculations and cramps in calves; isulatied in arms and abdomen
End of April: Clinical Exam=> Brisk reflexes, Low CMAP in NCV, high MUAP in the right thunb.
May: widespread fasciculations
June: + when i wake up, my hole body is vibrating like a clonus; odd feeling in left arm from shoulder to hand; weird dents in left hand.

Are these dents atrophy?

You would experience profound weakness before Atrophy. Fasciculations and cramps are not an indication of anything.

Thanks Joel!
I had to go for a new EMG today.
It was clean in all extremities, also in the muscel i worry about atrophy (one short PSW in tibial).
So, it was my second clean EMG in 4 month. I think i can relax, right???

That is excellent news! I sincerely believe you can relax now and put ALS out of your mind.
