Since January I have had body wide twitching which gets worse at night. I don't have it all the time, it comes and goes. My left side of my body seems to shake. When I curl my toes sometimes my left will shake but the right toes don't. Same with my left hand, if I squeeze something it will shake. I noticed this in December after dancing all night in really high high heels which hurt my feet really bad. It is my non dominate side. I don't feel like it is weaker though.
My tongue is constantly twitching but I can not feel it and I think I remember always having a twitching tongue. No atrophy. Went to the neurologist last week and said he did not think I had ALS because of my age (34) but said he could not rule it out. I performed all the test and was able to pass them. He did say I had clonus and hyperactive reflex on both sides but no loss of strength, was able to walk on heels and toes just fine.
I have had horrible health anxiety and started on 10mg of Lexapro a month ago. Since the neuro said he could not rule it out, it has me really worried. I go for a MRI in a week, which he was not going to do originally but realized I was worried. He checked my creatine kinase which was normal. He didn't mention any other test.
I had two ESWL surgeries for kidney stones and after that is when everything started. I do have a stressful job, a young child, husband and insomnia...not to mention health anxiety. Thank you in advanced for any responses.
