Hello,
I am knew at this board thing, so here it goes.
I am a 25 year old woman. I have a 3 year old daughter.
I started feeling bad toward the end of last year. It all started out with this twitching in my right hand between my thumb, and forefinger.
At first it drove me crazy, i did things like hit it up against things, and set on it to keep it from doing it.
Well here it is over a year later, and it still wont stop. Ever!!!! Never takes a break, or nothing.
Now my hands ache, my arms ache. Like spasms in them. It goes all the way to my shoulders.
My left shoulder tingles alot.
Now my head hurts!! Like a spasm in my brain or something.
my blood tests keep coming back ok.
I cant see a specialist because I have no insurance, and nobody wants to see me.
I am very afraid.
Cant anyone relate?
I feel completely helpless, and alone.

your not alone. I have muscle spasams all over my body. And when you say pain in your head is it like a sharp stabbing pain? Those hurt alot to. I have been going to specialists for 12 years now and still no diagnosis. My doctors are baffeled. Like you, my blood tests come up normal. The numbness and pain you just really can't explain to anyone who has never had it. I am at the end of my rope and am going to the Mayo clinic in Arizona and the Barrow institute in Arizona. The rumor is that I have MG yet no test can prove it. Hopefully I will get some answers there and will let you know.

Thank you so much for your help. I do hope you find out soon. I am just going to keep going until finally they admit me, or find out what is going on. It is a helpless feeling. Sometimes the pain is worse than others, and yes it is a sharp pain, and then sometimes it is a really tight feeling. Really weird. What is MG?
