Hi All,
I have seen some posts where people mention muscle twitching as a symptom of their MS, and was wondering if it is something a lot of people suffer with? I know it isn’t a typical MS symptom but curious to hear of anyone’s experiences with twitching.
For me, I started noticing persistent twitches in my left arm and right leg about 2 weeks after initially having altered sensations in both limbs. The numb feeling has since gone away, but have been twitching non stop for about 6-8 weeks now. The twitching has spread to both legs now and generally affects the calf muscles, but the twitches sporadically happen elsewhere.
My left arm was the worse for a while, my whole tricep would twitch away all day… Weirdly the twitching moved up into my armpit over the course of a week or 2 and then disappeared, which was a relief, only for the twitching to now be in my right tricep!
I do get random twitches all over my body, and for a week or so I had one in my chest, which felt like heart palpitations, not fun. But the legs and arm seem to just twitch away all day.
I am not diagnosed yet, but have Neuro/EMG appt. next week. Had a clear Brain MRI so far.
