Hi everyone! I am new to the forum. I'm a 21yr old male from slc Utah. I've had some weird things going on with my body. I'll be brief.
It started about 2 1/2 years ago. I began noticing facial weakness. Expressions such as smiling became difficult. I also began noticing my arms getting tired from simple movements. Then one day in November 2011 I literally woke up with twitching everywhere and weakness in my ankles/feet. Then it continued to progress. Again I would wake up with weakness elsewhere. In December 2012 it became hard to hold my head up. I started seeing a good Neuro and we did what seems like every blood test in the book. I also got an EMG and ncs done on my arms/hands. We tested about 6 muscles per arm. Everything was normal except for she said I appeared to have mild carpal tunnel in my hands. As of now I am still in the same place. Wide spread weakness and twitching that seems to favor my right side. I also had 2 clean mris. The best I can describe the weakness is the burning you get after working out
Thanks,
Ryan hanseen
