For the past 6 months I have had this twitching all over the place you name it legs arms back feet shoulders etc but my calfs and feet twitched 24/7 for the whole time now I have this 24/7 in my thighs constant pops and flickers it's non stop they are Always visible I am so scared to death I have been to two 2 gps that have just dismissed it and told me To control my anxiety, they way it stands I don't seem to have any weakness I am still going to the gym

Hi if you read the sticky you know twitching is NOT significant. Twitching is meaningless. You might have bfs which is completely benign or you might just be anxious as the doctors said. You have no weakness. Make a New Year's resolution to get your anxiety under control. To be in tears over twitching says you do not have a realistic view.
Good luck. Happily you do not belong here. Read the sticky if you have more concerns

Lloyd, I want to emphasize something. Although we're not doctors, we do know ALS really well, better than many doctors.

You've been told by two doctors and a person (with ALS) who is exceptionally well informed that you don't have ALS. In fact, it's very clear and obvious you don't.

The doctor you need to see is a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists hold an MD, and understand both the body and the mind. Sure, it's expensive, but you need to get that anxiety/hypochondria fixed before it ruins your life.

But first, read the sticky post at the top of this forum, as Nikki said.
