Hello, I'm 36 and wondering if my symptoms indicate the possibility of MND. My symptoms are recent much increased twitching, especially in my fingers and forearms, after 15 years of body-wide twitching; and the following other recent symptoms (within last few months): constant muscle pain in both my forearms, especially after using them or putting pressure on them, some associated nerve pain at times; body-wide muscle fatigue, especially for the left hand, with muscles shaking when I use them; hoarseness of voice and discomfort after singing; increased phlegm, so that I have to keep clearing my throat, which seems to be part of the hoarseness problem; tiredness; insomnia; palpitations. Doctors so far have found no clinical weakness, and all my reflexes are normal, including Babinski sign.
I'm reluctant to get EMG for various reasons, but are my symptoms enough that I should do it anyway? Or should I be looking for things more like myositis, long covid, or fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue?
