Interesting you had yours confirmed via NCV. I have had two tests which showed as "normal" - how long have you had symptoms. How long before they showed up on the NCV? Did you previously show as normal on older tests?

I can relate 100% to the pain you describe. Forearms cramping. Burning sensation. It sucks. I have heard Lyrica doesn't touch the pain, I wonder if Cymbalta will.

Question - are the twitches and fasciculations signs of atrophy or muscle wasting? I have those too. Thumb twitches especially. I still have the same strength however, near as I can tell.

Do you still work MarcS?

Sorry to sound like such a downer here. I'm just under an amazing amount of pressure. I am a newlywed, have a mortgage, a job -- my wife depends on me to provide income and help around the house. I just can't resign myself to this. Perhaps it's just denial.
