Around 3/4 weeks I began to very occassionaly feel and see a 'double beat' in my left foot. Since then, I have on two occassions (about 2/3 weeks apart) noticed a 'rippling' twitch in my leg calf. I cannot feel this, only see it. It is usually very fine and especially on the second occassion was hard to see. I have noticed that the only time i've seen these calf movements is when I have just been sitting on that leg and have got puns and needles as a result. Does this sound like fasciculations?, or is it more likely just because i've sat on my leg so much that the blood is pumping back through? (that might sound ridiculous). I don't hace any weakness but am scared it will come. Can fasciculations proceed weakness? I also constantly have phlegm in my mouth. I don't feel the need to cough it up and can easily swallow it but it has left a nasty coating on my tongue. I have also has issues with occassionaly hand tremors, and joint/chest pain.
Real leg fasciculations?

Your symptoms sound very very minor and are most probably nothing
go to your doctor for reassurance and please dont worry about ALS. As one who worried for 3 years it can and will ruin your life so please stop googling and go see your doctor. the anxiety achieves nothing . good luck

Yes they probably are fasciculations, but not a worry. I have them 24/7 and thousands a day, and I am just dandy.
Its also important that you do not look at every little ache and pain , then try and make them into a syndrome. You sound way too anxious about nothing. I cant believe you found an ALS site to investigate. Go out and enjoy the rainy summer you are having.
