    Myoclonus / Fasciculations

    A year later... I am happy to report that I'm doing great. I had the nerve study done and it was all normal. The fasciculations decreased significantly, I learned to live with the floater and the back / leg pain and just went on with my life. I've had followups with the neuro and...

    A rule of thumb for fasciculations?

    Adie's, etc. In regard to the pupil, some people are born with different size pupils (anisocoria is the medical term for unequal pupils) but I'm not one of those - as no one had ever noticed, then all of a sudden two people did. Adie's just pops up in some people. They - of course - don't know...

    Myoclonus / Fasciculations

    Thank You Thank you both so much for reading / replying. I was really willing to let all these weird symptoms go as odd but not life-threatening until the neuro follow-up when he mentioned ALS. I was honestly very surprised and said "but it's unlikely, right?" and he said it was. At first I...

    Myoclonus / Fasciculations

    Hello. I, like most here, have been all over the Web looking for information and hopefully some reassurance. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any concrete answers out there. Hopefully someone here can shed some light on my situation. I'm a 33 year old male who started down this long and...
