fasciculation

Before I say anything I just wanted to say that YES, I have read the stickied “read before you post” I am a 19 year old male. Starting in the beginning of November I began to experience constant twitching in my calves. The twitching is 24/7, it does not stop. The only thing that will change is...

I am in need of honest opinions-and maybe a little tough love. First: I have so much respect for the folks battling this disease while also being willing to support and advise others. My gratitude goes out to you. Second: I read the sticky, and I realize I likely don't belong on this forum...

I just have one question. Was anyone told they might have MS but later the doctor decided it was actually ALS? The reason I’m asking is I’ve been seeing an internal medicine doctor for about 8 months. At the beginning he said that my symptoms fit with MS but my MRI’s I had done were not...

Hi everyone, I'm seeking some advice on some serious health issues I've been experiencing for the last 7 months. I started having twitches in my arms which over a period of time spread to my whole body including my tongue. Weakness in my right hand/ big thumb, after some time I started having...

Hi, I'm male, 22 yrs old, and I very worried about these symtomps. I know that ALS is rare, specially in people of my age, but I dont think there is other disease that can mimic these symptons that i'm feeling. - since dec/2017: post nasal drip - i'm feeling that my breath is low. When I run...
