Hi all
Theres a bit of history to me, I had fasiculations a while ago in my abdomn, they all cleared up, I have had them numerous other places on and off, they have gone etc.
I have been to doctors recently about a fluttering sound i have in my ear and they have said it is a tiny muscle the tensor tympani having fasiculations, but they did not seem concerned about it. Said some people can suffer from it, she tested my tongue movements and eyelid movements and said they are all fine. I did mention my fear of ALS (hyperchondriat) and she said in all the literature she has read she has never seen anyone present with ALS as a form of objective tinnitis. She read out the results of previous exams i have had done by general practitioners (not neurologists) and all the reflex tests, strength tests etc are reported as grossly normal.
I was wondering if any sufferers out there, or people who know the disease have ever heard of it, if you think mine could be ALS based on a simple ear twitch, (I cant seem to take no for an answer) ALSO, has anyone ever had the muscle cut. My doctor said the most common form of the tensor tympani being irritated is due to hyperanxiety, stress and also blobked eustacian tubes and air pressure imbalance. I have noticed it tends to happen when eating or when I burp.
Any ideas are much appreciated
