Tingling, cramps

[WLC]

For the past several days, I have had intemitent tingling on the left side of my body.  From the tip of my head, down my arm, and my trunk.  Again, it is not constant.  At times, both hands also tingle.  (Though this may be from working at the computer 8 hours a day).

Per my GP, had a CT scan done which came up normal.  

Still feeling the tingles intermitently, and occasionally I have a twitch in my right calf muscle and also in the arch of my right foot.

I've probably been reading too much on the internet, but I'm concerned about ALS or MS.

My mother had a very serious case of MS, which caused her death at the age of 34.

I am an almost 40 y.o. male, about 20 lbs overweight and do not smoke.  I have lost a few pounds lately by doing some pretty intense spinning classes.

Please let me know what you think.

Unilateral sensory changes can be seen in MS, other inflammatory disorders of the brain, stroke, migraine, and even stress. The head CT you had performed helps to exclude large strokes, masses, or hemorrhage. Since you are concerned about the symptoms it is reasonable to request a consultation with a neurologist. They will be able to examine you and determine if there is any significant dysfunction. Then a decision regarding further testing can be made. This may include a MRI and some blood tests. Good luck

This could be nothing but first and foremost if these "tingling" episodes become constant and ascending in nature (as in your whole leg or arm is involved if it hasn't been before) and they involve both sides of the body, you should consult a neurologist to rule out something like Guillain barre although this doesn't sound like it.  

Some types of seizures may also present with this kind of a picture -- it doesn't mean that you have epilepsy but it may be wise to get it checked out with a neurologist and perhaps get an EEG (electroencephalogram) to try to catch these episodes and see if they are possibly seizures.

On the other hand, stress can often cause these kinds of sensations and you should try to also look within your environment for clues.

Good luck
