Hi I’m brand new to the board I’m a 52 year old male,and have just one question. I have for the past two months experienced body twitches all over,some in my thighs, calves tricep, rib, buttocks and eyelid . I also had one episode upon waking in the morning kinda half way between awake and sleep my hand suddenly jered upward. It did this just once and not again since.
I have been seen by 3 pc doctors for the twitches who all felt it was stress and overexertion related. I should mention I do workout with heavy weights 4-5 days a week and play hockey 1-2 days a week.
All blood work and strength tests done by the pc docs were normal. I also saw my psychiatrist regarding these issues and she also felt very strongly that this was all stress related. I was diagnosed with panic/ anxiety disorder, ocd and hypercondria.
I ask if any of this sounds like ALS and I ask with the greatest respect to all of you.
Thank you so very much
