My husband has had muscle cramps and twitching for quite some time now. Today he saw a nuerological muscular specialist and she is sending him for an EMG. In doing some research, a lot of his symptoms mimic those of folks with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). I'm kind of freaking out right now and pray that it is not that. It is not a treatable disease and we lost a friend 2 years ago to ALS who was only 40. Please my friends, pray very hard that this isn't it.

I'm praying that the doctors quickly discern the cause of the problem, and that it is something treatable and curable.

PQ, I will be praying for you and your husband. I pray that he has found the right Drs. who can quickly diagnose and treat his symptoms, and that it will not be ALS.

The internet is a wonderful thing in the knowledge we can gain using it. Just be careful not to borrow trouble, my friend. There are so many diseases that have overlapping symptoms. My daughter the nurse reminds me constantly not to waste energy worrying but rather to think good thoughts and let the doctors do their job. I'm praying hard and sending lots of ((hugs)) your way.

Thanks so much everyone. I have tears running down my face because of the support you all provide. Many of you know that firsthand. Even though I haven't met many of you, it means so much to have you all there. Truff was right, I tend to overreact from what I read online and I need to think positively. He won't have follow up appt. and results for about 5 weeks so it may be a bit before I can post an update. Thanks again all, it means the world.

Pam, are the cramps and twitching located to one area of his body, or all over? My husband was diagnosed 12 years ago with monoamelic amyotrophy, a neurological disease that caused the muscles in his hands to atrophy. It is a very rare disease that took some time to diagnose. Along the way, ALS was mentioned as a possibility. He was only 20 at the time. He has since learned to live with it, as it isn't treatable. He manages extremely well and most people are unaware of his condition.

I pray that the doctors are able to quickly diagnose your husband, and that it isn't ALS. It could be a multitude of other things, so don't despair!
