Hi all,
Sorry to come onto the forum and do this but I actually feel like I have reached breaking point - I am such a together person usually and I want to get back to this, please help if you can. For the last 2 months I have had toe twitches. They happen regularly and I can certainly make them happen by stretching out my toes and lifting my toes and curling my toes. So usually the twitches happen when I wake up and stretch. It affects one toe which will twitch continuously for about 10 seconds. I cannot see any atrophy, both feet look the same and I don't think I have weakness, but how on earth can you tell in a toe?! I can walk around and do usual things. I went to the dr who said it was nothing to worry about and after 2 months of twitching I would definitely see atrophy and or weakness. Please can anyone give me some advice or reassurance? I cannot afford to see a neurologist (dr said it's not necessary) as my husband has just died (we only married in August so a huge shock) and I am bringing up our newborn alone. I'm so scared, upset and don't know how to carry on. This is a plea to anyone who has advice or experience to just type a few words and I won't use the forum is you feel this is not als related. Thank you very much.
