It's a horrible disease, absolutely horrible, but at least he has time to organize his finances and properly say good bye to his family.
Lot's of anxiety in posts. I don't think most are accurate. Cramping is cramping is cramping is cramping. My son cramps in his hands, my sister cramps in her throat/neck, my father cramps in his stomach, my mom cramps in her calves, my niece cramps in her toes and feet, my friends cramp in tri-ceps, bi-ceps, neck, etc. Some last for seconds some for minutes....some pain for seconds others for days....I cramp....i go years with little to no cramps, then I go periods where I cramp when I move, used to cramp a lot when younger, today not so much......Twitching before weakness, twitching during weakness, twitching after weakness...read about people that twitched for years no weakness then all of a sudden foot drop.....some people with weakness, no twitching.....some times people cramp during twitching others do not.
Everyone is different. Every case is different. Have you read the Peter Frates story? Slight changes over years, noticed he wasn't hitting the ball as often, breaking bats when he did hit the ball, batting average diminished...then inside fast ball hit his wrist and wrist was never right again, couldn't reinervate those muscles. They died, started the process of diagnosis for him.
All different except for one thing, WEAKNESS.......WEAKNESS........WEAKNESS....if you wake and you are dragging your foot, you can't click that clicker anymore, can't carry a gallon of milk, can't walk those steps...be concerned...other than that enjoy life.
Been twitching 20+ years, high CPK for 20+ years, cramping for all long as I can remember.......Still here, still OK, no weakness....ENJOY!
