Hi-please let me tell you about my symptoms as I am so scared I can't sleep at night.
Twitching began overnight on March 16 07-everywhere backs of shoulders, triceps, thighs,calves cramping in arches of both feet and pain in the hands by the thumbs. I had a slight left eyelid heavy feeling and some twitiching in the left face. The twitching lasted 3 weeks and then went away for about 5 weeks. Then it came back. I did see neuro who said I had full strenght and good tone. My b12 level was high about 1200 so I backed off vitamins. My potassium tends to run 3.7-3.9 range It is now June 20 and my twitichiing started to decrease a great deal about 4 days ago. No facial twitiching or weakness-no lid drop-rare calf twitiching and thigh twiitching. Now I've noticed my right calf is not as wide as left one. NO strentght loss or weakness. I can still stand on my toes and heels and I even planted 2 trees and put 10 bags of mulch down this weekend. I also have a heavy feeling in my right leg but this starts in the buttocks so I am not sure if this is sciatica. I had a l4-5 sponylolisthesis of my lower spine otherwise I am healthy. I am going for a neck and lowere back xray this weekend. This leg pain gets better with some tylenol or motrin-do not have pain in am but by nighttime it resurfaces. Please someone let me know if this sounds like early als-the twitching is the most concerning to me -I have 4 kids and am terrified they won't grow without a mom--I work in healthcare so a little knowledge is killing me-Anyone ?
