I was ill and during my illness I had severe pressure in my forehead skull and numbness on my face severe nausea. Two weeks into this I developed muscle twitches from waist down all over my buttocks and legs. They subsided but returned 6 weeks later and were all over my body. I was very ill those first few months. Weak sick numbness all over face gastroparesis orthistatic hypotension etc. By the time I made it to a neurologist I was doing better. The twitches remained for 6 months all over had numerous emg which were all normal. My twitches have slowed but not completely gone. Itbhas been 15 months. I am now finally having days my numb face is stopping it comes back during the day but isnt lasting all day like the last year. My twitches are not as strong or frequent as in beginning but I still have them here and there. Does this sound like anything anyone else has had ? Looking for answers. I was afraid of als and it still concerns me but specialist say no.

    Same here but move face numbness to legs and arms.

    can be anything, from side-effects of antibiotics (my case so far) to an actual neurological disorder, which can be a minute one like BFS to serious one like MS (Not ALS as yours is getting better).

    I may not be able to point the exact cause but do know that neurological injuries takes loads of time to recover.  Do try Vitamins (B and D specifically) meanwhile to see if they make you any better.
