Going in on Friday for a follow up with my neurologist because I have finished physical therapy with no improvement. I was previously diagnosed with cramp fasiculation syndrome but it doesn’t appear to be the case because I have weakness and atrophy noted by my physical therapist... which at the...

Thanks for the responses. I went to another physical therapy today and this time my therapist noticed the atrophy/weakness in my left elbow/tricep. He just noted that as an area that we need to work on. If I have atrophy and twitches but a negative emg am I still good? I always hear people...

I think I might try the cbd oil in the mean time. Appreciate the suggestion

As of right now they haven’t given me any medication... they wanted to see results from physical therapy and sleep study before I get any medication.

My previous threads are old and have been locked so that is why I’m opening a new thread. A couple months ago I did get an emg and based on the results my neurologist came to the conclusion I have cramp fasiculation syndrome. The reason why I was given that diagnosis was because to him I didn’t...

I went back to my original post but it was closed so I am opening a new post. I received my EMG today and was told that I do not have also based on my readings but I have BFS. Appreciate everyone listening to me and wanted to post that you all were correct and Thank you for listening.

I went and saw a Rheumatologist about a week ago and he suggested that I go and see a neurologist. At this point I am 10 days away from my neurology appointment and my problems keep mounting. -constant ringing in right ear -muscle weakness in forearms, neck, thighs, calves, left bicep but not...

Still waiting on neurologist appointment but recieved some blood test back today and my sedementation rate spiked. Since April I have had this test run at least 5 times and it has been an high as 10 and as low as 4 which was my text about a month ago. My test that came back on Friday was at 38...

I have finally gotten a neurologist referal and will be going in on September 24. All of my current symptoms still persist and I am getting really weak I have also been experiencing new symptoms over the last month... Very sensitive to sudden noise or sudden touch... Makes me jump out of my...

Just got my results from my MRI and everything came back clean. Now I just have to wait to find out when my appointment will be scheduled with the neurologist.

I have spent some time reading through all the information and have a couple more questions. When someones first sytotom is cramping do the cramps only happen in the original spot where it starts or is anywhere in the body? I am now wondering if those pains had were cramps.

Thank you for information. I'll just have to hold tight and wait to get through my appointments. Whatever I have though is changing fast.. in the last 2 days I have been getting cramps now in calves, arms, and feet and now my voice is getting horse. I'll check back in after the MRI.

I have now met with my new doctor and he has an MRI scheduled for me on 7/11 and said it will probably be two months before we can get in with the Neurologist. My new Dr also informed me that there is no need to see the Rheumatologist since all of my blood tests came back good. Did anyone have...

Thank you. I'll stop. Appeciate everyone's time

Also Im at the point I can't do anything without being in pain. Walking hurts, kids sitting on lap hurts thighs, picking anything up hurts hands and forearms... I'm just confused if not als what else could take over my body like this
