Can MS cause fasciculations?
I was diagnosed with Radiological Isolated Syndrome in 2024. I was in for an MRI and they saw white matter lesions, but I had no symptoms at the time. In the last 12 months though I have been experiencing symptoms such as leg and arm weakness and fatigue and at times some tingling and numbness although this doesn't happen quite as much.
One thing I have been experiencing though is muscle twitching or muscle fasciculations. I have mentioned it to my neurologist but she dismissed it and said it's not a symptom of MS. I'm not so sure . Has anyone experienced muscle fasciculations from MS? They occur in random locations whether it is my legs, arm, chest, stomach or face etc. This has been going on for approximately 10 months. Honestly it freaks me out. Fasciculations and weakness can also be symptoms of other much worse conditions such as ALS. I am thinking of asking her to send me for an EMG the next time I'm in.
