Hi, I am 20 years old and actually I have no problems.
I have been to a neurologist a few times because of headaches and stuff and all the kinds of reflexes which he tested worked fine.
Now I saw in a book that there is a reflex called Cremasterreflex and this reflex is said to be very important in men.
The Cremaster is a muscle in the scrotum and actually the testicles should be pulled up when you touch the the inner side of your upper legs and move up and down.But it doesn't work with me, this scares me.
What can this be ? Nothing happens, I mean I tried it a few times, just the way the books describe it and nothing happens. Maybe I have something with the spine.Maybe a tumor ?

Hi I am new to this and I hope there is someone out there that can help.I am a 29 year old male, I was diagnosed and treated for Lyme Disease back in late June. Since then I have not had one day pass where I have felt normal. Seems to be different things all the time that come and go. Some of the things I am experiencing are a strange tingling in my head seems to be right under the skin and changes location, the same type of feeling in my chest along with a burning type feeling tough to explain, muscle cramping in my arms but no loss of strength or feeling, lately I have been getting that same feeling in different locations in my body such as the top of my foot, my knee etc, sometimes it feels like a bee buzzing behind the skin... The latest develpment is muscle twitching which is happening all over my body from my face to my toes but not all at once, and that comes and goes. I did see a neurologist about 2 months ago and had a Spinal tap and brain MRI performed both were negative. During this time I have also develpoed high blood pressure and I am now on medication for that lisinopril 5mg per day. My question is both my PCP and Neuroligist do not seem to think anything serious is wrong, that is comforting but going through these things evry day has become very stressful for me. Does anyone have any recomendations or information that could lead me in the right direction, anything would be very helpful, I made an appt to see the Neuroligst again on 12/18/02.
