Hello there
I am writing from London. At the beginning of January 2010, I started experiencing muscle twitches which spreaded all over my body in a week time. I was horrified after checking internet sources and found out the link with twitches and ALS. I have been checked by so far 5 neurologists (2 ALS experts) and 2 EMGs done, all came up normal. I was told that I have benign fasciculation syndrome and anxiety disorder syndrome. Two months after, I also started feeling a painful and sore right calve muscle and rarely burning feeling. I had a brain and neck MRI done to rule out MS and it came up normal. The only abnormality was a small 5mm cyst (which is believed to be cytercus) on the left frontal part of my brain. I am under Cipralex medication for my anxiety and I am having less twitches for the last one month. However, the soreness and pain in the right calf muscle still concerns me about ALS. Should I go for a third EMG. Or may it be related to the cyst in my brain as it is close to the motor and sensory parts?
