    Hello Bluegrass boy. Your post caught my attention, because I think I have the same kind of fast rippling when contracting a muscle, but in my both thighs. For what it's worth, I'm only 17, and have been twitching for about 4 1/2 months, and have no other symptoms besides twitching (I suppose...

    A new concern

    Thank you, Tillie. I understand that people here are living with a terrible disease, and I assure you that I wouldn't be bothering you if I wasn't seriously worried about having it myself. I appreciate the help you've given me. I had a good couple of weeks anxiety wise, but the twitching didn't...

    A new concern

    Hello, I'm back again. Now, I know you've told me to stop worrying many times, and I've tried to take that advice, but I got worried again when I tried to compare my thighs in a mirror after a while, just to see if there's been any change, and I noticed that when I'm in a slight squatting...

    I have the appointment next Thursday, I just thought to ask if the addition of (mild) cramps raise any more concern.

    I understand, but every source I can find says CFS is rare, much rarer than regular BFS, and that doctors take cases with fasciculations and cramping much more seriously than just fasciculations. And with all due respect, all I've heard from the doctors is that the EMG didn't show anything, but...

    Hi Mike. I am very sorry to be back and I promise that my concern is not from hanging on this forum, I just cannot get rid of the anxiety. So, what I forgot to mention was that both my thighs (especially the back sides) are stiff, as confirmed by a physiotherapist in August. This has not really...

    Sorry to bother again, my first thread was closed

    Thank you for your responses The GP I saw about 2 months ago thought I should get a new appointment with a GP when I spoke with her the other day, because it's been so long since I saw her, and the twitching still continues. So far I haven't gotten an appointment, and I have to try again next...

    Sorry to bother again, my first thread was closed

    Yes, yes, it's just that I read that an EMG may miss ALS changes if it's done too early or if it's not extensive enough, and I haven't seen a neurologist, only a GP. Still, I understand that I'm probably worrying over nothing, but I just worried when the twitches took an uncharasteristic turn...

    Sorry to bother again, my first thread was closed

    So, I had my EMG of both legs, and the doctor who did it was able to tell me immediately after that it was perfectly normal. However, the thing that's been bothering me, is that the same night after the EMG the twitching just exploded, before it I had a couple of days with little to no...

    I thought creating a second thread was against the rules, and my first one was closed.

    Does this sound like ALS?

    Okay, thanks again, by!

    Does this sound like ALS?

    Thank you for your responses, they definitely calmed me down. You know how treacherous google can be when most sources only list symptoms without offering context. One more thing about my twitches I forgot to mention is that they stop if I move the muscle in question. From what I've read this is...

    Does this sound like ALS?

    I'm a 17yo male and I've had muscle twitching for about 2 months now. It's mainly in my right leg (calf, thigh, foot, buttock), but also in the left leg and randomly elsewhere (neck, abdomen, upper back, shoulders, arms, around the eyes, around the mouth etc). It started about two months ago...
