Incredible video Mark, thanks for discussing and highlighting this horrible disease which affected a good friend of ours. You are a brave man and I wish you and all the family all the best in this moment and hopefully a long time in the future. Take care 👍

I can't imagine how tough this must be for Mark and his family, MND is a devastating disease, one which I'm currently showing symptoms of myself. Hoping for a cure ASAP. Wish you and your family all the best mark.

what kind of symtomps?

[@andrewlaidlaw1070]

@@JamerBubutan Hi, I've been experiencing body-wide twitching for almost 6 months, myoclonic jerks, neck pain, internal vibrations, hand and thumb tremors, potential atrophy in both FDI muscles and recently my muscles feel tender as if they are taking ages to recover from workouts. Currently haven't lost any strength, still working out 4 times per week.

@@andrewlaidlaw1070 That's great news,how old are you btw and were you able to get a possible diagnosis or it's still in progress because i myself is very young and very anxious but i've been having muscle twitching and crepitus in the body whole 3 months and my bones crack everytime i move which is new it happend like 3-4 weeks ago

[@JamerBubutan]

@@andrewlaidlaw1070 I did labaratory test like 2 months and 3 weeks ago they found out i had UTI and now that UTI and infection is gone maybe this could be the side effects of the pills i took when i was sick idk i'm just so lost and wants answer and make sure i feel 100% fine.

@@JamerBubutan my doctor doesn't seem to be concerned but I am going to see a private neurologist in April. Hopefully, nothing too concerning is going on. Body-wide twitching without weakness or serious atrophy isn't a concern to medical professionals
