I'm wondering, most people with ALS say that when the twitching starts, there are already other symptoms. However, sometimes I read a story about ALS where someone experiences twitching for about 2-4 years and after that the other symptoms start.
So my questions are:
-if you did experience twitching (and muscle cramps) BEFORE you noticed function loss, how long before was that? (how many years or months)
-did the twitching start in one body-part or did you have it all over your body from the start?
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and answer my questions, as I know you all have a lot other things on your mind being diagnosed...
(Reason of my question: twitching started in may 2013, cramps started last week, feeling of weakness and heavy arms/legs/tongue are there for many years now, but no function-loss at this moment so my doctor won't let me go to the hospital for more tests, she says to wait and see for a while, which is driving me crazy)
