Can you clarify something for me.
The stickie says:
"The major initial symptoms of ALS are clinical weakness, atrophy and hyperreflexia. Some people may have slurred speech. If you don’t have any of these, why are you here?"
Is it the presentation of all three initial symptoms together that is...
Thank you. I was trying to ignore the twitching as I have read the stickies and been advised not to harp on this symptom. I got nervous when my reflexes came back over reactive.

My anxiety is very heightened and having no test results and just waiting is making it difficult.
All my symptoms are gone but my left leg. The continuous twitching in that calf and weird...
