Twitching from neuropathy or Lyrica?
 

As you may know I was diagnosed with polyneurophaty after EMG and NCT. I don't really remember too much twitching before, I definitely seen it in my feets that are affected, but I also feel it in other parts like buttocks, but can't verify is they are visible or is just a feeling
I'm wondering can be side effect of Lyrica or part of neuropathy?
Should I consider another test or just wait and see?
New symptoms definitely add up to anxiety

Physical exam neurologist concluded didn't show any pathologies, reflexes are normal, so it's the strength
I don't think it can be ALS, but that's one scary though

Thanks for any advice!

I had some weird twitching cramping thing in my legs for a while, it used to wake me up, then it went away. Perhaps it will just be a temporary thing.

Thanks Chris! That's comforting
Almost no brain fog today and pain reduction is significant, lyrica is here to stay if no other sides are coming
Fingers crossed

Since the beginning I have had twitching in my feet.
 

Now they are more like a pre twitch or a feeling. They only effect 1 foot at a time. I have also had them in other places but they were more apparent and possibly are fasciculations. I have read that a number of people with primary PN get secondary Restless leg syndrome and I believe that is what I have. I don't take Lyrica so I can't say about side effects.

Thanks for your reply!
Now I just noticed that my big finger in feet moves by it's own! Not constantly, happens for a while then stops
That freaks me out

Don't freak!
 

That happened to me too in the beginning but it stopped. Thank you for reminding me. :) If you need more info on RLS let me know. I was in a group for a few months before I realized my primary issue was neuropathy.

Any info would be helpful! Thanks!

One more thing: what abnormalities you had on your EMG if any? (I guess you did since you're taking about neuropathy)
I have abnormal findings and that twitching on top of that makes me anxious

I have symptoms of SFN. Nothing substantial showed up on my EMG.
