My symptoms started with speech issues 2 years ago. I didn't have any noticeable twitching around 9 months later, when I noticed twitching in my left arm and thigh. I have had constant twitching in my left leg (thigh and calf) for over 12 months now, but still no limb weakness at all. I have some weakness in my tongue and facial muscles, but that's it. I do suffer badly with cramping, especially in my hands after typing or playing the piano. I have sporadic twitching all over my body, but the leg is constant. More recently, past couple of months, the twitching in my left arm has become more intense and frequent, but no apparent weakness in that area at the moment.
Does anyone have any suggestions for easing the twitching? I've tried magnesium supplements, but they don't seem to help. The twitching in my left arm is driving me crazy :-(
I was diagnosed with 'probable' ALS two months ago.
