Hello,
I have a question regarding fasiculations. The EMG of my left arm was normal. Since then I have begun experiencing visible fascinations of the arches of both of my feet. My questions are
1. Are fascinations on both sides of the body less common in motor neuron diseases and more common on one side ?
2. I know that the normal EMG is a positive thing but I’m assuming because it was my arm and has nothing to do with my legs an EMG of the legs would be necessary to truly rule out any issue?
3. Are fasciculations that are associated with motor neuron disease and ALS constant once they start? Mine do not appear to be constant and I don’t really notice them during the day when I’m up and moving around. It’s only when I settle down at night. It’s sort of feels like little bugs crawling under my skin but when I look at my feet the skin is clearly jumping around.
Thank you.
I tried to take a video but I can’t attach it for some reason even though it’s only five seconds long.
