For the past 6 months or so I have been experiencing alarming symptoms.
*Tremor or Vibration of body.
*Left upper arm seems to be weaker and make it harder to hold up my phone in bed.
*left arm jerks back on occasion
*small jerks throughout body on occasion
*Muscle is smaller in left arm, shakes when normal exercise is attempted.
*frequent fasciculations in left upper arm moved spread throughtout body.
*over the past 3 months the fasiculations have spread, most frequent to my legs but I have had them in both arms, legs, stomach, butt, and face. They are visible and frequent.
1st Visit to Neurologist - Tremor but he did not notice any muscle atrophy - he suggested Ativan.
2nd Visit for EMG -
Denervation found in left thigh - He felt like this was related to back but recent MRI showed no signed of lower back issue.
More signficant Denervation in upper left arm - he believs linked to C7 back issue. This can be supported by MRI findings.
Fasiculations in multiple limbs- in test but not constant.
He said he was not seeing MND but he suggested going to a specialist in another city for evalution at the same time for peace of mind. This seemed rather alarming to me.
I have requested a copy of the report. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
thank you - HD
