Here we go
« on: January 16, 2013, 04:26:28 PM »
It's been another week and surprisingly up until today I have been pretty good..

I haven't worried about anything serious and as a result almost all of my symptoms have gone away...

However, my left arm my fingers shake if I lift them and between my index and thumb I get fasiculations if I raise my finger for too long.. That didn't have me too worried, but now my whole left arms feels like it twitches and shakes. if I rest my chin in my palm with my elbow on the table at work and look down I can see my upper arm twitching, I'm not sure if its fasiculating or not but I can feel it like a quivering from my shoulder down. I don't think it's constant, but seems to be if there is any pressure on the arm or it's held a certain way. My strength is still there... Just the quivering/fasiculating. I'm not sure what would make only my left arm jerk and twitch like that... It will start in my shoulder with a little twitch twitch and then my upper arm is just a shaking away.. In my shoulder it kind of feels like a rubber band that stretches to far and it makes that little tugging feeling. When I wake up my wrist is pretty stiff as well, but that usually gets better throughout the day. Mostly, I've just heard of a lot of people who noticed the twitching/shaking as first symptoms and that's worrisome. I just can't keep that arm still to save my life..

Trying to keep my mind from wandering to ALS, but it's starting to get harder. It's starting to get convincing.. I haven't had a full blown panic attack about it yet, so I came here.

I've had these types of things too. It seems the more you dwel on them, the more anxious you get and the more they happes...it's a vicious cycle. Try to relax and ignore them. (I know, that seems impossible while they're happening):

In my opinion it's the same mistake you made before -- the constant monitoring of your body and obsessive experimentation with your symptoms. You've just moved on to a different limb now.  You can see that, right?
