    How long between twitches and atrophy?

    So, I have a question. I started to feel a strange numb, or tight, sensation in my thigh above my knee in September, then twitching all over my body the end of October. Would I have any atrophy showing now if I had ALS, or does it take longer to show up? Also, I am not weak, but my right leg...

    Going to GP again....wish I wasn't scared

    Well, I'm going to the doctors again this morning at 9. I wish I knew what was going on. I wouldn't be as scared of the body wide twitching, if I hadn't felt a kind of tight, stiff, weak feeling in my thigh for the last two months. The twitches are worse in that area, as well. I sincerely...

    Sensation changes?

    So, the twitching is easing up a bit I think. However, with ALS do you "feel" your muscle get weaker? Does it change in sensation? My right thigh, right above my knee, feels very weird, but it doesn't seem to be weaker than my left. I can just feel every contraction that it makes. And it...

They thought at first that it was getting off amitriptyline, but I went back on it as soon as the twitches started, and they haven't slowed down. I don't seem to...

    BFS or ALS?

    Does anyone know for sure what the difference in the twitching is as pertaining to the two different illnesses? I have read that with BFS the twitching moves around alot, I have also read that it only does that with ALS. Mine is everywhere, but I have a lot of them in my right leg, and not in...

    Freaking Out!

    Thank You Thanks for posting, I feel a bit better. I am a little too high strung, I guess. The pharmacist said the dosage I was on was too small to be withdrawal, but I have a tendency to be sensitive to any kind of medicine. I hope that's all it is. You guys all have a lot of guts to be...

    Freaking Out!

    Hi, I am a 36 year old female. About a month ago, I noticed that my right leg felt wierd. It's not weak, I'm a personal trainer, so I've been testing it, but it feels almost like Restless leg syndrome. Then, a couple of days ago, I started twitching all over the place. I called my doctor to...
