Hi, I'm a 27 year old boy from Spain. A month and 5 days ago I started noticing fasciculations all over my body.
Previously I had spent 5 months studying hard for a law degree, and I was sitting more than 10 hours a day. I had a lot of back and chest pain, but I couldn't go to the doctor for the coronavirus.
On June 1 I noticed the first fasciculations. They hit me on the right side of the body, where I had the (backage)/pain months ago. Then they moved on to the biceps, lasted for hours, and it was removed from there, but they went elsewhere. From there they became generalized. On June 10 I had them in the plantar arch (in addition to the whole body) intensely, and two days later in the left buttock. It also lasted for hours. And, meanwhile, in all the body. (Fasciculations could pass from the shoulder to the calf in seconds. The rhythm of the fasciculations has been during June of a random fasciculation per minute, now I have much less).
Since then, I have noticed that the fasciculations have decreased both in number and intensity. I have been giving me only small movements for three days, also all over my body.
I got to have them in feet, calves, abdomen, neck, temporal muscle above the ears, shoulders, arms and forearms, etc.
I attach the 3 videos that I have uploaded to YouTube so that you can guide me. Four days ago I went to the doctor, and at the end of this July a neurologist will see me. Meanwhile, although I have much less and less intense, I would like to know some opinion that you have the most experienced.
I am not anxious, but I was stressed for many months by law school, from January to June 20. Since then I have been having less fasciculations.
Now I just feel a little tired in my left arm, for example when I wash my head and have to lift it.
I attach the links and I await your response. Thank you very much from this other continent.
Plantar arch (10 June):
Left biceps (1st June):
Since I finished exams and Law school, they have been decreasing, but today I have fews and my left arm is a little tired (feeling similar to when you lift weights and can't do any more repetitions)
