I don't know how to start this because I'm sure this gets old to all of you but here's my story I'm sure very similar to everyone's about a month ago I started twitching mainly in left calf note very mild twitch but it moves my feet feel like there is a buzzing in them I've had both thumbs twitch and pinky it's so annoying I have allot going on my father is dying I was diagnosed about three months ago with anxiety disorder I constantly worry I'm going to die I feel alone my husband tells me I'm crazy ask the time but I feel these twitches all the time even when moving I'm just scared please I just someone to talk to

Twitching is very common in healthy people especially with anxiety stress. That buzzing seems common as well in the worried but I never hear people with ALS describe it.

I am so sorry about your dad. Try to make sure you are staying well hydrated and eating well. Dehydration and lack of vitamins and minerals will cause/ make this worse as will lack of sleep

You are not describing ALS at all so take care of yourself, cherish the time left with your dad and don't worry about ALS

JOJO, it's hard to calm done when you're under such stress. My doctor got me a therapist and prescribed a pill that helped me calm down.

As Nikki said, you didn't describe ALS, but you did describe anxiety. Get it treated and you will be able to handle the stress much better. Good luck.
