I read the "Sticky" here but can find things online that dispute some of its information. For example, I've read threads on this forum where PALS discuss having fasciculations, even widespread, before the presence of any weakness. I didn't think it was even possible to have widespread ALS fascics before the disease is widespread? Doesn't it typically appear in one area and spread to others?
I've been having widespread fasciculations for a few weeks now. I have not visited a neurologist but did see my doctor recently. He said I wasn't exhibiting any signs of concern.
My stress level rises though with each twitch. They seem far worse in the evening. I'll feel one in my left upper arm, then a few minutes later in my right knee, up to my right arm or left calf or pretty much everywhere with no pattern. Was this common for anyone else? I'm not sure what course to take.
Thanks for your thoughts.
