So my journey started almost 2 years ago... 5 days after my birthday I started twitching. It started out in my finger then as I consulted Dr. Google my fear and twitching spread. I twitched from my head to my toes and at first was convinced that I had MS. Then i went to my neuro and he quickly...

I actually had a question about cramps. Sometimes when I move my leg in a weird position ill get a cramp. But it doesn't happen all the time. In als are the cramps with certain movements or are they random?! I have had emgs and they were clean and I'm fairly certain I don't have ALS. But when...

From what I understand people don't have more saliva they just aren't able to swallow... Period. And spasms and whole body part jerks are VERY common in BFS. I'm glad you made an appointment with your dr. And getting referred is a good idea. There are so many other things that can cause your...
