Hello guys . I’ve had a different thread but got closed . I was anxious and could t really explain my concerns well . Mentally wise I’m doing ok I take Zoloft and had counseling for anxiety and that’s calm me down .
However im concern about my symptoms because it somewhat points to ALS .
ive read the twitching before you post sticky . And I understand anxiety can cause twitches . I’m 34 now and where I was younger I would have twitches on my lip and eye lid and those weren’t concerning .
However at the moment I’m experiencing lightheadedness and weird head feeling when I move “ yeah I know not an als symptom “ however my neck feels very stiff for a month now and is it possible it’s due to weakening neck muscles that’s causing stiffness and making me lightheaded ?
now the twitches as I mentioned early . What concerns me is when I mean by twitches I’m. Or talking about one or a few twitches on my lip or eye lid few times a day . I’m talking about small tremor like twitches all over body . Usually feel them when I’m at rest . A few weeks ago it was all over body and still are however now seems to be on my calves and sometimes even toe and hand fingers and arms .
so in short summary it’s the fact that these are non stop twitches ! Feels like my left hand is getting weaker and my left calve seems to be the most active . Twitches throughout the day and my left calves gets sharp pain here and there .
I feel like it can be something neurologícal. Never in my life I’ve experienced hand twitches lol. A thing that’s concerning is I was starting at my calve waiting for twitches cause they only happen at rest and noticed it was twitching like once in a period of a few minutes but I didn’t feel it it was a silent twitch .
at this point I don’t even think anxiety causes those type of twitches . And my last question is . If this wasn’t ALS And something else . Is it possible it can evolve into ALS is whatever it is left untreated ?
