    Twitching with PLS?

    My mother is complaining of leg twitching at rest and early in the morning. She has PLS, in her legs and moving into her hands. She has shaky hands, and is dropping things, but really it’s the twitching in her legs that bothers her. She thinks it’s making them weaker, and she is having trouble...

    Weight loss, twitching, hyperreflexia

    Good Morning. I posted here previously, in 2017 and 2019, I think. I was having twitching, which was found to be benign by EMG. I spent the past 6 months caring for my dad, who died at home, less than a month ago. Over this time period I lost 30 pounds, and the twitching, which I had...

    Proof that widespread twitching is related to ALS

    I recently came across this article and I'm freaking out now: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11464925 Everything I've read on here says that widespread twitching is not indicative of ALS, but this article states otherwise. The worst part is that I had an emg last year that the neuro...

    For all the anxious twitchers with clean EMG...

    Hello! After reading a lot, searching a lot, I realized something that definitely reassured me. I thought it might help other people who are anxious ... (Sorry for my english, it's not my first langage :) ) ALS combines problems of upper and lower motor neurons. Each pathway has its own...
