I hate to be the worry wart on here. My dad was diagnosed with ALS December 2013; and as far as we know, there is no history of ALS in our family; and none of my dad's siblings have ALS.
I'm thinking FALS must start somewhere; so I'm wondering if any of you have seen a case of seemingly sporadic ALS turn into FALS. This would obviously be difficult without knowing a lot of your family history, but I'm curious.
I've been noticing a lot of twitching over the past few weeks in localized spots on my left leg and arm; and my left arm has generally been tired. Obviously I know the odds are very slim if in fact it is sporadic ALS.. and that there are multiple common explanations of muscle twitching. I'm not usually one to worry about things like this but like I said, I'm curious.
Thanks for your help.
