    Update and query

    I'll spare you most of the details, but twitching started in late November 2015. Started in left calf but rapidly progressed to all over (more in lower body though). Twitching has pretty steadily gotten worse over two years - more new twitches have come than old twitches have gone. I'm 42. I...

    Hi there, My history is on here through other posts. Started twitching in late Nov 2015. Had multiple EMGs which were normal (showing fascs), although last one in August 2016 had one focal fibrillation. Brisk symmetrical reflexes. No sign of weakness. No swallowing/breathing/speech issues. I...

    Abnormal EMG

    Fascs started in late Nov 2015. Had 4 EMGs by start of month 5, all were normal (apart from fascs). Fascs continued, and at month 8 I went for the first time to the Sydney Brain and Mind Centre, probably Australias leading research centre in the field. There I had an ultrasound (normal nerves...

    Persistent localised twitching

    I've had 24/7 twitching in my lower left calf for almost two months now. I get intermittent fascs in lots of places during the day bodywide, but it's persistent in my lower left calf. I've had EMGs which were clean, the most recent of which was after a month of this localised twitching. Is it...

    ALS fasciculations - impact of submerging?

    Hello all. I had a quick query: do either of these things have an impact on ALS fasciculations? 1. Having a bath - i.e. do fasciculations stop or greatly reduce (frequency and/or severity) when submerged in warm water? Or does having a warm bath have no impact at all on ALS fascs? 2. Taking...
