Worried about ALS

[cshannon]

Hi all

Thanks I'm advanced to anyone who reads my crazy paragraph!

So about 3 weeks ago I started have Twitching continuous in my calves and feet, it's been happening non stop since and I'll get a random tremor or twitch regularly in my thighs, it's not all the time but let's say a couple times per hour

I've noticed as well my arms are also twitching sometimes my back and my lip

I'm twitching a lot I know lol

My question was around weakness, so I've been reading on this form a lot about perceived weakness and actual weakness

My worry is my legs non stop have been feeling tired since about a week maybe a few days after the twitching has started and they haven't not felt tired both of them

I've had two doctors check me out for my strength which they said was 5/5 (no EMG just a regular physical)
And I'm still able to go to the gym and do my usual but my legs get more tired quicker

This could just be my anixtey focusing in on my legs but I'm just worrying what you folks think

Thanks again!

Did you read this? Important - READ BEFORE POSTING! Answers to common concerns about possible symptoms

You are describing perceived weakness but you do not have clinical weakness based on your clinical exams and your ability to go to the gym and exercise

A lot of twitchers also feel tired in their limbs. People with beginning ALS don’t feel tired or have muscle fatigue things just don’t work

Hi Nikki

Thanks for the reply, I just didn't know if continuous fatigue in my legs but no loss of strength was weakness or perceived weakness, I'm just trying to settle my anixtey

My doctor thinks it's BFS
