Hi guys. I posted here last year since at the end of March of last year I started having widespread fasciculations. They were strongest/most constant in my calves but were also occurring in other parts of my body.
I went to a neurologist, who detected the fascics but couldn't figure out what was causing them. I ended up going to another neurologist for a second opinion, and she had me sent over to get an EMG done, the results were neuropathy of the legs, which didn't explain the body-wide fasciculations, which the neuro attributed to stress.
I was diagnosed wih neurontin and was sent on my way.
Last week I had a follow-up appointment with my GI, who noticed my reflexes were abnormal - he said they were "brisk."
This morning as I was taking a shower, I noticed there's an indentation in the left side of my stomach, just below my abdomen. It's pretty noticeable. I showed it to a family member, who agreed that she could see it, but brushed it off saying that no human being is symmetrical, etc. But the thing is, I didn't have this before! I'm just noticing it now, but this is somehing that's happened really recently.
I suppose this, combined with the brisk reflexes, has got me nervous. I'm just venting here, and I'm going to try to see if I can make an appointment with my neuro on Monday morning (I have a follow-up with her, but it's not until July).
Just nervous, worried...I know that brisk reflexes plus fasciculations are not a good sign.
