Hello all,
Firstly I'd just like to say that I have great admiration for so many people I've came across on these forums, it is truely inspirational. I appreciate that many of you are living with ALS and my heart goes out to each and every one of you, I've been moved to tears many times over the last couple of days.
I'm 22 and from the UK and have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for a number of years and lately I feel as though I'm heading towards depression.
I understand the chances of my symptoms being related to ALS are tiny, but as anyone who has suffered from anxiety will know, just knowing that doesn't always help. I have also read all of the stickies, and many other posts, but they're not really helping put my mind at rest.
Two weeks ago, I developed a constant twitch in my left calf, it has been 24/7 solidly for the two weeks. I can mainly just feel it, it feels like a crawling sensation under my skin, but I can often see it if I look for it. I do not have twitching any where else and I don't seem to have any weakness.
All I'm really looking for is a bit of advice on what I should do? I've mentioned it to my GP on the back of an appointment for something else and she didn't seem concerned, maybe I should visit her solely for this symptom?
Thanks for taking time to read this, I know it may sound silly, especially compared to what others are going through.
Much love to all
