I know many people have self-diagnosed themselves due to googling twitching. I'd be curious for people who have a diagnosis, what was the symptom that made you originally go to the doctor?

My twitching started around June last year in the left side of my hand and left calf. Since then it's basically spread everywhere. Under sides of my left knee are a popular spot now. Other than that the only other changes are: My left index finger feels slightly awkward. I wouldn't say it...

Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I posted. Quick refresher, my last neurologist appointment was in November, clean EMG again. I've been having fasisculations for about a year. Lately I've had a couple new symptoms. The twitching was first in my left calves and the pinkie side of my...

First off - I don't really get the whole PNS joke :razz: Secondly - maybe you guys can help clarify something. The nuerologist last time said that I have a ulnar nerve entrapment. This time she is calling it nueropathy and wants to test for ck levels in blood and then to another EMG. Last...

Hello everyone, I haven't posted in awhile. Still been doing about the same. Fasics in my left calf muscle. Lately I've been getting a buzzing feeling in the tip of my tongue. When i look at it in the mirror it doesn't appear to be moving at all. Also my left arm and leg, especially the...

I went back for my 2nd emg in 3 months. The first one was clean. Since then I've had fasciculations in my left hand (on the side under my pinkie) and noticed some in my left calf and left foot (side and bottom). At my 2nd neuro appointment I expressed more concern for ALS. My neuro didn't...

I have a 2nd EMG tomorrow. The last time I had one (3 months ago) my neurologist said it was 'fine' and left it at that. I'm having more fascics now. My questions would be: 1) Would BFS show up on an EMG? I had a brisk reflexes last time but no atrophy/weakness. Does the EMG differentiate...

I can't help but notice the amount of people posting who ultimately end up reassured that they don't have ALS. After Thursday, when I have my 2nd EMG in 3 months (upon my request) I hope to be one of them. I'm 26 and I've actually become quite close with another poster who is 25 who also...
