Hi had stomach bug last week with diarrhoea. On Friday I developed a twitch in my left hand between my index finger and thumb, however it lasted a couple of hours the went away and just before I went to bed it returned again. when I woke the twitch had gone and has not returned, I have noticed that my index finger does still shake when i rest the outside of my hand on the desk but does not all other times, both times the twitching happened I had drunk a can of coke and hour before. Also my little finger on my left hand does feel numb. Also last night whilst i was asleep my left Calf muscle crumped up and hurts today. I sometimes have twitching in other parts of my body but this only lasts for about 10 seconds or goes away when I rub it or move. I do go to the gym and wright train and I do not seem to have a problem there. The problem being is I looked it up on the internet and started reading about Parkinsons and ALS. I know that I am most likly being Paranoid but do I have anything to worry about
