What do fasciculations feel like? Do they last a long time (seconds) or are they quick (less than a second). I think I have them but I want to be sure. And what about large twitches that move your body (like the ones you get when you're about to fall asleep) . . . are those signs of ALS too?

My Mother says she has 'twitches ' in her arm - like a 'pulse'. Is that how Fasciculations feel/look?
