I have suffered with twitching for over a year now, more so in my legs. They started after I herniated a disc in my back. I was so scared of ALS I had the EMG testing and it came back fine. It did show that my left leg had nerve damage.... The twitching can get really bad sometimes, I will feel it all up and down my legs like popcorn firing off!!! . My worry lately though has been possible MS? I go back to my neurologist next week to discuss.
Question for you all though, do any of you have severe sleep starts or night jolts? I know many of us get the big jolt when falling asleep which can be very normal. But I also tend to twitch in my sleep. Like Jerk... my arm will jerk, sometimes my belly, my leg. My daughter actually woke me up one night and asked if I was ok. So weird! and super scary of course. The big ones that wake me up, ugh I hate those. But these little ones that aren't waking me have my mind wondering what it could be.
I know I haven't always done this?
Also the leg cramps, I woke up with my foot extended down so the muscle in my calf was cramping, I had to stand up to get it to release. So of course, I think Spastic muscles! Then I start to look at how tired I am, how after having kids my bladder isn't what it used to be and I am just flat out freaked out. I looked up the symptoms and I could have them all (except the loss of vision and numbness).
With this much twitching though, something IS NOT right. :scared15:
