Twitching ring finger

[BooBoo621]

I am a 35 year old stay-at-home Mom that is very worried about Parkinson's. I have twitching in my left hand ring finger. I just got over three weeks of calf twitching which made me believe I had ALS, (it went away) NOW, a week later, I get the finger twitching. My great-grandmother had PD, she was the only one in our family I know of. She developed it later on in life and lived to be 91. I can see the actual twitching occur between my pinky and ring finger knuckle area and thats what makes the finger actually move. It's not rhythmic and occurs here and there, sometimes during rest, sometimes when I am gripping something not too tightly, and just now I put my hands behind my head and could feel it. It almost feels "nervey" if that makes any sense. It's now been occurring for the past 2-3 days. I do exercise as much as I can with having a new baby around :-) and I also just started using hand grippers for strengthning so don't know if that has triggered anything or not. I also have a snall patch of dry crusty skin on my face that I thought was a pimple but is not. I assume it's seborrhea dermatitis since that is also a symptom of PD. Help me, I'm going crazy!!!

I wanted to comment on your message to encourage you.  I am a 37 yr old mom at home also,  I have been having muscle twitches and my index finger shakes at jumps too at different times.   I have done extensive reading about it,  it seems like the exercise with cause the finger to twitch more for a period of time and then it may resolve.  
   Don't worry too much....that makes twitches worse also.  Lower stress,  eat , rest and exercise and if it gets worse or does not improve with consistent good habits get it checked out!

I have this same affliction and am concerned it has to do with a neurostimulater that was installed 1.5 years ago. The paddles sit on the upper spinal column and are attached to nerves.  Having it removed Monday along with a revision to my laminectomy that I had 4 yrs ago.  It seems that once you have some sort of nerve issue, try to fix it, something else goes on.  My neurologist says it ortho; ortho says it neuro; rheumotologist says lose 50 lbs and everything will be better.  I have decided that this time, if I still have so much nerve pain in legs; arms and hands I am not signing discharge papers until they give me a diagnosis.  I take multiple pain meds; anti-inflams; nerve meds; muscle relaxers; and a couple of others.  Done with the 9-10 pills a day.  Will let you know in a couple weeks what I learn.  Good luck.

Your situation sure rings true with me...I'm 36, a stay at home mom and since May, I've had strange twitches in my hands, upper arms and sometimes I feel a little weak in the legs.  I had an MRI and it came out negative.  I was scared of PD and MS!!!  Thank God it came out clear....but I still have so many unanswered questions.  I do know what you mean when you say your hands feel 'nervey'.  It's a strange feeling!!   I hope a dr. or someone with similar complaints responds to you.  I'm hoping to get answers as well.  Good luck to you!
