    Weight loss, twitching, hyperreflexia

    Wow. Funny that best wishes don't "feel" like best wishes. I did not second guess my PCP or my Neurologist. The PCP found the crazy reflex and referred me to the neurologist. The neurologist specifically asked about my concern and he said it was valid, he did the EMGs. I merely reported his...

    Weight loss, twitching, hyperreflexia

    Follow up: I received a post visit summary fronm the neurolgist via the portal that said to return if symptoms persist or worsen. I then received a message from my PCP stating she "reviewed the report, it was normal, which is reassuring". I'm not sure what to do next. Is it important to...

    Weight loss, twitching, hyperreflexia

    Update: I had the bilateral lower extremity EMG this morning (it was rescheduled from the 3rd due to tech availability for the NCS). The neurologist didn't say "this looks pretty good" like he did after completing the bilateral upper extremity EMG, he went straight to the "crunching the...

    @Wobblyheart I have never attemped to check my own reflexes. I don't think you really can. The only new thing I'm experiencing is occasional chin twitching. I think I'm clenching my jaw when I sleep, because I often wake myself up biting my tongue to the degree that it causes searing pain. I'm...

    @Cmh89 I'm still having difficulties. As I mentioned earlier, hoofbeats sometimes signify neither horses nor zebras. I'm hoping for a Mystery Mule that kicks us around a little, then moves on. 😉 I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic. It's hard. April

    Hello! I just thought I'd answer you here instead of on someone else's profile. :) I am ok. No worse. Trying to stay positive while waiting for the EMG. I have had the twitching before, but the right arm reflex where I thought I was going to punch myself in the face is new and scary. I am...

    @Cmh89 So glad to read your recent update! I have been praying for you and your family every night (except for twice when I fell asleep before I got that far) ever since I first read your thread. I will keep praying and watching for updates! April
