Hi there-a while back, my health anxiet obsesion was MND. However in the end I dismissed it realising I would not be so strong and healthy if I did have it.
However, the last few days I have started to have this twitching in the muscle between my thumb and fore finger on my left hand which makes my thumb look like its jumping up and down. It started Saturday morning and I just thought it was because of how I had been sleeping. However, then, all day yesterday it was twitching on and off whenever I was at rest and although it is a bit better today, its still doing it.
The logic part of me is saying maybe it is because I use my forefinger on this hand to click the left mouse button on my laptop and I have been using this button more lately (browsing internet shopping sites lol). But then on the other hand I am panicking thinking that because the symptoms are so localised and came on quite sudden that its something serious-specifically ALS or MND.
I have done all the usual strength tests and seem to not have any weakness (although to complicate matters I have radial nerve damage following an accident in this arm which prevents me from being able to use my left hand properly)
