I have thought that widespread twitching is good sign and the less I twitch, the better.
Comment So according to your clinical experience: the random twitchers, those who get them few times a day only and every time in totally different location (a twitch in the calf muscle once every hour or less, for example)- these are the twitchers who should worry more about als? * More than the twitchers who have them continuously in the same muscle?
Answer Yes, this is true, it is good clinical assumption to follow, but it is not perfect, as surprisingly some patients with ALS are oblivious to their fasciculations
Exactly my case. I twitch in shoulders, thigs, hands, legs, face..but only a few twitches per hour. Now I really cannot understand why this is worse, I always thought denervation would start in one place and spread.
Anyway, Im back down with the anxiety, however its not as bad as it was last year. I know its stupid to vent it here, especially if most of you went through this..sorry
