Isaac syndrome, aka neuromyotonia. 🌩️
this rare condition amps up the myokymia volume to 11. spinal motor neurons get overexcited, causing continuous muscle fiber activity.
symptoms?
stiffness, cramps, and those pesky muscle twitches. but what's behind the curtain? let's find out! 🧐

EMG time! 🎸 electromyography shows us the electrical jam sessions happening in your muscles. with myokymia, EMG reveals rhythmic bursts of motor unit potentials that look like marching soldiers. 🪱
wild, right?
it's like watching a muscle fiber conga line! let's see what's causing this groove! 🎶

what's myokymia?🤔 it's like your muscles are throwing a mini dance party without an invite! 💃🕺
involuntary, wormy rippling movements often visible under the skin. not usually serious (unlike fasciculations in ALS) but definitely a buzzkill. let's dig deeper! 🕵️♂️
