Hi All,
My left bicep has been twitching for two weeks. No signs of any arm weakness. I can stop the twitch with a very slight flexing of the bicep.
To stop the twitch... I can straighten arm down, the bring the forearm up a little (bent at the elbow).

I have read that, if one can control the twitch (by flexing or moving the muscle), then it cannot be ALS... is that correct?


The blood test does not show any issues.
The doctor ordered me a brain CT scan...
Nuro appointment in 7 months.
 
Please read this if you have not already done so

Twitching is common, nonspecific, and meaningless in the absence of muscle function failure which you have not described. Bending or moving the muscle is irrelevant.

Relax. You don’t have ALS.
 
thanks @KarenNWendyn ...
:) just going nuts, anxiety has become a bigger issue... heavy heartbeat, can't sleep etc.
