Hi there,
I would like to first thank everyone for all the advice and support. I am in search of answers because the medical community has fallen short of this. I have not been diagnosed with ALS, but I am experiencing similar symptoms to the one everyone describe in these forums. Please could you help me ease my anxiety. I am a 27 yo male in search of what is causing my widespread twitches and perceived weakness (not clinical weakness yet). I mostly have them in my abdominal area, but I also have felt them on my biceps, triceps, quads and eyelids. When ever I try to do a situp my entire body shakes like crazy. Whenever I try to life an object my proximal muscle will shake, followed by twitches. I do not know what to do anymore. No one believes me, docs won't do anything about it. I do not know if these related to anxiety, but I am having difficulty taking a deep breath. I feel as if I have to think about each breath I take. However, I am able to sleep well without waking up at night or experiencing any headaches when waking up. Your advice would really help.
Thanks
