Hello guys,
I have read here for about a month, and just finaly decided to post. I really need some help. I am not diagnosed but have seen a neurologist who decided that I had a normal exam and sent be home with mostly info about benign fasciculation symdrome. My basic problem is that both my calves twitch, but mostly my left. I hate to be such a cry baby about this, as some of you all are fighting much larger problems.
I am scheduled for an EMG next thursday and I am really scared that I might have ALS. My basic questions until then revolve around fasciculations turning into something nasty. I know from reading that Al and I think quad bliss started with twitching. I was wondering what happened next as I have been twitching for a little more then 3 months.
I am not so scared of dying, as my soul is right with God, but I am afraid of the process. How do you scratch an itch, how long can you turn over in bed, how do you go poop. I have so many questions, but am afraid to ask as you all deal with this in what seems to be such a positive way.
If some of you would be so kind, just answer the itch, turning and pooping questions I would be eternally grateful.
Ed
