Sorry, this might be a double post....
I am freaking out as well about similar twitching. I have read about RLS but am focused on this ALS. I am 37m and have had twitching that has been all over but 95% of the time is in my calves and thighs for the past week. Sometimes I do get brief twitches in my butt or back or arms but like I said it is 95% in my legs. However, i never feel the twitches when I am walking around, moving or just standing. They are less pronounced when sitting, but are exaggerated when laying down it seems. Should I go have an EMG done to diagnose or rule out ALS? Thanks so much.
