I doubt it, its only having an impact on one side of my body for whatever odd reason. Booked myself in for a consultants appointment anyway.

I hope you get it sorted out and that it's nothing serious.

It could be MS, but I hope that it's not.  I'm glad that you are getting it looked into.

Given how long they are making me wait I doubt it will be anything too bad - tbh I am ignoring the problem more or less and getting on with life.

As many horrible things as it could be, it could as easily be something minor like a pinched nerve, also.

Good luck from here, too!

Pinched nerve seems unlikely - though hopefully its along those lines.

There is an upshot though if its serious, it makes in an awful lot easier to forge a political career in disabled rights (given some of the people doing it in the UK - I could be a lot more effective than they currently are)

Not unlikely, I've had that happen, but you made it sound like more of a twitch than St. Vitus' Dance, since you had said that you were hiding it with long sleeves.

I'm just hoping it's something easy to deal with, pal.

I would tend to agree with this and I suspect that the effect is universal.

If you have noticed, is the twitching worse or better when you try to do something with your arm or leg?  Can you stop the twitching if you concentrate on making it stop?

Do you know what caused the pain you medicated some time ago?

i suppose it can't be parkinson's. since it's one side. but parkinsonians can stop the shaking with movement, at least before it gets too bad.

The only catch it that its not just in my arm, my leg is slightly twitchy too :(
