I got your PM (I'm not sure how you did that, given you only have one post) but I've found in the past that someone with only one post can't receive PM's, so I'm going to reply to you here. Given that your only symptom is twitching and that you told me you have been under a great deal of stress over the past few months and that you haven't been sleeping well and that you are a new mom . . . I would have to say that all of that points to your twitching being benign. You also say that you keep getting new "symptoms" as soon as you're done reading about them. My advice: stop reading about them and stay on your anti-anxiety meds until you feel better.
Bottom line: nothing you have said so far would point toward ALS. Listen to your neuro when you go to your appointment . . . believe what he/she says and then enjoy your life. You have already become irrational given your declaration that you think you have ALS. Relax.

I would concur with what everyone else has said on this thread to you: you certainly need further testing (especially an EMG) before your condition can be determined, so please don't jump to any conclusions. Take care.
