Hi everyone,
Stumbled upon this forum after struggling to make sense of my symptoms in the last 5 weeks. I Have been scared as these symptoms have never occurred in the past
- It started on 7/25/21 with twitching of right index finger (moving quite too much). Happened quite often for a few days
- Did all blood tests and all normal including B12. Doctor asked to take B12 shots for 3 weeks as I had B12 deficiency long time back.
- Right hand and right calf felt heavy at times
- Twitching happened occasionally in left index finger too (movement)
- Stopped most physical exercise as I thought it could be exertion
- Twitching started near eyes both sides and then abs within 10 days
- A couple of times had vertigo feeling and thought it could be B12 after effect. Stopped B12 shots. Didn’t have this in last week.
- Some cramps started in different muscles but not too frequent. finger twitching died down.
- Met a neurologist but she did not find specific diagnosis after simple clinical evaluation and asked to come back in 3 months
- Currently, have twitching in abs and sometimes in shoulder, arm or buttocks. Heaviness in left feet and right hand some times. Feel pain in right hand and right leg after exercising or long walks. No pain on left side. Can’t tell much about weakness but some pain in right fingers as well.
I know these are too many varied symptoms but the constant in last 5 weeks has been some sort of twitching and pain after working out in right leg and hand. Went for a brain MRI but normal. Trying to get an EMG done now.
