    Fasciculations progressing, unsure of next steps

    Hi everyone, I posted here years ago and was very graciously responded to (here, here, and here). I really appreciate it. In light of this technically being me revisiting, please feel free to close this thread if it's out of place. I am 38 years old and in between my first and second trimester...

    I’m scared as I wait

    I’m a carrier of C9or72. I’m 42 f and have been asymptomatic for years, but live with major anxiety over ALS. In the last couple years I would say my anxiety has lessened, but any time something goes awry with my body I automatically worry about ALS. For a little while now, I’ve had muscle...

    M29 Fasciculations, perceived finger weakness

    I posted here in 2021 about fasciculations all over my body. I did not have any noticeable weakness at the time. In the ensuing years I have felt fine. Fasciculations continued and I assumed I had BFS and moved on. I’m a little concerned again because I have definite clumsiness in my right...

    Follow-up update and question, fasciculations

    Previous thread Hi everyone, 36F here. I started a new thread because I believe my old one was deleted in the interim. I originally posted here about swallowing difficulties and ongoing leg numbness starting in mid 2022. These symptoms are gone and have been attributed to long Covid, the...

    Spasms and Fasciculations - terms matter

    I discovered in one of our early visits to the neurologist that I was using the medical term - fasciculations, incorrectly. Fasciculation - a brief, spontaneous contraction affecting a small number of muscle fibers, often causing a flicker of movement under the skin. It can be a symptom of...

    Fasciculations are becoming ‘painful’

    I am a bit surprised that my fasciculations are becoming painful. They might be a 3 or 4 on the pain scale, sometimes it can cause a gasp due to the surprising cramp that can persist for a minute or more. The standard twitching is just annoying. Is this pain an expected part of the...

    Guys I'm so sorry to post but after my normal EMG test now I'm having serious fasciculations at my injection sites. They are just going going going. Woke me up out of a somewhat sound sleep. Please forgive me but I didn't know where else to go about this. I know pain is a common side...

    Hello! After reading a lot, searching a lot, I realized something that definitely reassured me. I thought it might help other people who are anxious ... (Sorry for my english, it's not my first langage :) ) ALS combines problems of upper and lower motor neurons. Each pathway has its own...

    Please do not be too quick to say NO to possible ALS diagnosis

    About 3-4 years ago I came to this forum and asked the dreaded question "Do I have ALS". I had some fasciculations and cramping in my feet, balance issues, spasticity in both legs and slight speech changes. I was assured by members that my symptoms were NOT symptoms of ALS and I went merrily...
