Hello all,
First of all I would like to apologize to bother you. I'm 29 years old and my twitching history starts in last July (10 months ago), after a period of very anxiety because I was doing some exams to identify a renal cyst was benign or malign. So after I've discovered that is benign I relaxed and then I started to have fasciculations at right calf, some paresthesia in my right forearm and perceived weakness. I went to neurologist and he made lot of tests of strength, balance and reflex. He told me that I have brisk reflex but it is symmetric, so no reason to worry about this. I made MRI from brain and spine. He didn't find any problem. After that I forgot this things and my fasciculations decreased a lot but never stopped.
2 months ago I've passed by a stress period in my job and my fasciculations increased a lot, and now my fasciculations is in all over the body, in two caves never stop, just stop when I contract the muscle and return after I relax. And in other parts of the body stop when I contract and don't start again. The twitches normally starts after a hard contraction (like when I strech) of the muscle and stop after I the same muscle again. 2 weeks ago I had parethesia in my righ forearm again. I'm also facing internal vibration in my left calf. And feeling log fatigued, when I do strength my feel my muscles burning but no clinical weakness I can do everything that I always do.
Last monday I made a EMG and the result was CLEAR. For my surprise even the fasciculations was not detected by neurologist. But I still did not take the result to my neurologist, the exam was made by another neurologist that is neurophysiology specialist. Maybe in two weeks I can go to my neurologist.
I've already read lots of posts in this forum and other forums about ALS and BFS. My opinion is that I have BFS. I would like to hear some more opinions.
Thanks and best regards
