fasciculation

Its been some time since I posted here, as I thought I finally had a diagnosis but it seems things have changed again. I'll start by giving the backstory on how this all began. Summer of last year I started to experience muscle twitching, rippling, and weakness. I was seen by a gp who was very...

Hello everyone, My name is Spencer. About 10 months ago I suffered an electrical shock from a damp light switch in my apartment (110v, 15 amps). Since then I have been experiencing alarming neurological symptoms that I think may be the beginning of MND or an ALS-like syndrome. I apologize in...

Okay this is the second attempt at writing because my first was interminably long. My question is this: What tests do I ask for next, which direction do I go next with my primary care doctor to rule out ALS or know that it is ALS. I either need to move on away from the "fear of possibility"...

Hi, so I'm 22 and have been experiencing widespread twitching (including tongue and facial twitching) for about 6 or 7 months now. Started with some twitches in my body then to my tongue then came back with a vengeance in my thighs face feet and thumbs. Experiencing a lot of other symptoms but...

I found this on the web today, thought summarized the info very well. The difference between LMN and UMN damage seems to confuse many. Signs of Upper Motor Neuron Lesions (UMNL) 1. Paralysis or weakness of movements of the affected side but gross movements may be produced. No muscle atrophy...
