Through out the past year or so I have had twitching all over my body. Some months it is bad and other months I have no twitching what-so ever. I also get this weird buzzing inside my thigh that bugs the heck out of me. I also have noticed that the right side of my face is not as strong as my left. I have more control over the left side than the right. (can smirk etc. with left not right)


For example, when i stern my eye brows, my left one is much stronger than the right. My right cheek muscle also seems to be smaller. My left face just Feels stronger.

I have experienced no weakness anywhere else. I am very scared and do not mean to bother anyone on here. I'm just worried. I have no known family history of the disease. Will be going to the doctor in a week.
 
No worries there, Sam.

Twitches mean nothing.
Everyone twitches, some more than others.

This is mostly an old person's disease. 15 is a bit young.

Agree with Greg. Now worries about having ALS.

Go to the doctor, trust their opinion and enjoy your young life.
 
Thank you Greg i appreciate your response. My face muscles being different is what truly scares the hell out of me. I have been a nervous wreck for the past few weeks.
 
Thank you for the response star. I have been very frightened these past few weeks.
