In addition to the above, I have recently begun having vague foot issues. Occasional stabbbing pains at the tips of my second toe and it will burn by itself and ball of foot hurts esp. when I stand on toes. This has sort of "moved" to the other foot a bit. Very crampy ankle pain, and vague soreness in my feet all over. I am an athlete and always in sneakers and now the sneakers feel tight and my feet ache me. No numbing, just some burning, pains and light tingling.

Is this how you all began? I am getting a repeat EMG this week. Dr. thinks possibly small fiber, b/c honestly, I get patchy burning sensations all over my body, scalp, tongue, face, shoulders, etc.

I have been cleared of MS and remain terrified of ALS despite the neuros saying no. I have also had some weird internal tremors while I sleep, and involuntary swallowing (the reflex just kicks in). Makes me think something wrong with my autonomic nervous system too. I seem to have nerve issues all over my body going wrong at once.....

Any ideas? Can you twitch, spasm etc witn neuropathy?
