I really would second Truffle Royale's advice. If it's listed as a known possible side effect of a medication he is taking, I would get in to see the doctor ASAP, show him the side effect listing, and demand he be taken off that drug immediately and work out how best to do that (some drugs you need to taper, and cannot stop taking suddenly, he may need a replacement drug, etc, so this should be done with the doc). I would hold off on expensive tests and such until seeing if stopping the drug stops the side effects! You both will be in my prayers, but it sounds very promising that what he has is a side effect of medication and will go away with discontinuation of the drug.

Pam, I'm rarely on the couch, and sorry for the delay in adding you and your husband to our family's prayer list.

Like so many others have mentioned, our minds are geared to thinking the worst. I predict that the twitch is him just thinking fondly of you.

Thanks SB. We had a little emotional chat late Sat. night and he's actually more scared about it then he led on which got me all freaked out again. There were many tears shed but it brought us closer. He took himself off the pill that listed muscle twitches as a side effect, today is day 3 and he's noticed a reduction in the twitches so please let that be it. He still goes for the EMG on the 19th so thanks to all for continuing to pray.

Pam, I am adding your hubby to my prayer list also. I rarely get into the couch posts and hope my belated prayers will help!

Well I spoke too soon. His twitching hasn't really stopped from stopping one of his meds. But one of the withdrawal symptoms, as well as a side affect is muscle twitching so who the heck knows??? His EMG is next week and his follow up appt. with doctor is March 27th so continued prayers are very much appreciated.

God is great!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are the best and your prayers worked! My husband went for his EMG this morning and they told him he was healthy, definitely not ALS. The Doctor wants him to have surgery for his carpal tunnel and also wants his blood tested for a potential thyroid problem, which could cause muscle twitches and crampling. I am soooooooo relieved, perhaps we can both get a good nights' sleep now. Thank you so much again all of you for your positive thoughts and prayers, they meant so much.

That is wonderful news. I still think he is twitching because you excite him so much.

I don't know, I know they have him on magnesium and calcium supplements b/c he's lactose intolerant and doesn't do dairy but I'll tell him to check it out.
