Hello
I'm Rania, I've been having fasciculations for 3 months now. Started mild, then spread to all muscles, stomach muscles, neck, arms, legs, everywhere. My face also constantly has a buzzing-like feeling. My muscles jerk on their own sometimes too, especially when I'm asleep.
Recently I also developed really painful cramping in leg muscles that doesn't go away with muscle relaxants.
I had an EMG, but the operator didn't want to wait until a twitch happens so she can detect it on the monitor.
The EMG came out clear, but only because she didn't give my muscles a chance to twitch, so she'd be able to see if it's a benign fasciculation or not.
Should I have another EMG and insist that she waits for a twitch to happen this time?
