Thank you Texastracy. I had my EMG, the neurologist was not a neuromuscular specialist, he only stuck me in 3 muscle groups (all on right side- lower leg, lower arm, upper arm, somewhere in the middle of upper back). He didn't stick me on my left. He verbally told me results were normal and...

Twitching mainly same area Hi, I know my last post, a couple posters pointed out I needed to get a life because I started a thread about 3 years ago about leg cramps. The leg cramps are no longer concerning as they seem to be few and far between now. My grandfather passed from ALS so it is a...

Thank you.

Hi, for the last two months I've had what is best described as this strange tightness in my cheeks area/inside my mouth on both sides. This tightness is also under my front lip inside my mouth. It's always there and does not come and go. At times I get the sensation like I am drooling but...

Hi. You replied to my post about leg cramps as a first symptom. I read some of your earlier blogs from April 2011. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to post a reply and for not "attacking" me for my questions. You are in my prayers. Tevs

Thank you to everyone that answered my initial questions. I really do appreciate it.

Wow, pretty harsh. I thought I had picked a forum that is for people that are concerned about als symptoms. I was simply answering follow up questions from others and I am not looking for sympayhy. I was only looking to ask questions about leg cramps as a first early symptom. My worry about...

Thank you again everyone. I have not noticed the other mentioned symptoms such as struggling to button pants or zipper or weakness. Once in a while I will get some muscle twitches in my legs that last a second or two but I would imagine most people have this. I will see what the neuro says on...

One more thing I have noticed. I brought this up to my husband about two weeks ago. My left bicep has a visible crease in it. The only way I can describe it is that it looks like a crease/indentation, especially when I try to flex my bicep, you can definitely see it. This does not occur in my...

I have tried drinking tonic water in the evening. The cramps still continue in the evening 2 - 3 nights per week so I really don't see a change. As far as the length of time, the first one hit me 4 years ago and that was the one that sent me to the hospital after they would not stop for 3...

Thanks again everyone for all your posts. I'll see what the neuro says. Alyoop, you said you had cramps two year prior then the foot drop, but you do not have ALS?

Thanks everyone for your replies. I have gone to my GP previously and he did some testing I believe for circulation issues but found no issues with my circulation. He said it may be Restless Leg Syndrome but with that, I keep reading about a creepy, crawling feeling in your legs with the need...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site. I've been reading many of your stories and my heart truly goes out to everyone. I'm looking to see if anyone else had symptoms that are similar to mine as one of your first symptoms. My grandfather passed away many years ago from ALS, my father who is 60 now...
