Hi all, Trying to find an English podiatrist in Beijing is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Waiting to see the GP again, as the foot is so painful it's becoming hard to walk without a limp. I don't think it is foot drop related, mostly a pain related limp, but I cannot fathom what...

Thank you for your input. Talks are underway with family about a potential return during spring festival as, overall, even if it's something simpler that a podiatrist could examine/ correct/ treat, it is difficult to find english speaking practitioners in Beijing. From what I know it would be...

Hi all, I just wanted to gauge your opinions. I had hoped to have put all this to bed. As many of the key, helpful members on this forum know, at the beginning of September, and for a good month and a half, I had twitching/ buzzing constantly in my left calf, as well as some, moving but...

Hi all, I apologise from the off for returning, but wanted to post an update and ask for your expert advice re: the findings. I had been consoling myself with the BFS forum site over the past number of weeks whilst waiting for my MRI and EMG...and this is the latest post I put on there... Hi...

Progression in Symptoms Hi all, I am sorry to bother you all with a new post [I couldn't find my last one]. Just an update, my doctors have done the basic reflex and strength tests at the clinic which were fine. Slightly brisk reflex of my left knee [the leg with the initial and most...

Dear Dusty, That's what the doctor is hopeful of. He was quite worried about my anxiety levels in general, irregardless of what my diagnosis should eventually be. I think what worries me is that whilst the full body twitching is lessened, the hotspot of my left calf, and to a lesser extent...

Symptom Development Hi again, I am so sorry if I seem like an anxious pest. I have been in and out of seeing my two doctors like a yo yo. I have a lumbar MRI scheduled next Monday, and ultrasound of my calves this week and the doctors are looking into where to send me for an EMG as apparently...

Symptoms Changes Hi all, So sorry to bother everyone again, but I have been losing crazy amounts of sleep and work hours to this, and had a small break down in the shower this evening. I posted before about having body wide twitching, with some pain in the arms and legs. I have since...

I just wanted to follow up. I saw my doctor again today about general chest pains accompanying/ perhaps causing my twitching. I have no palpitations, but a very low heart rate, and it may be shock exercise is making it work harder. I don't know. I don't have any problems with vitamin...

Thank you so much for your responses. It is wonderful to be able to share concerns and advice in such a caring community as this. I wish everyone all the very best. Also, awareness of ALS has come to China, and the students at the High School I teach at are working on projects for their diplomas...

Hi all, I am here because, naturally, I am worried I might be exhibiting symptoms of ALS. I know it would be rare to have it at my age [25 years] and my gender [female], however, it does happen. I haven't been exhibiting symptoms, knowingly, for very long. I have had a few leg cramps over the...
