JULES,
I do not have ALS but do have cramping and twitching and sneezing, OH MY! (I love the Wizard of OZ).
Stress can bring on fascics and cramping. Are you stressed over anything? It sort of seems as though you are somewhat stressed about the possibility of having ALS or some other terrible disease.
I feel lousy and weak on a daily basis and my condition, in the beginning was "Suspected MND". I understand your fright. BUT, the good doctors have assured me I do not have ALS (PLS still a possibility until the neuro reads today's MRI).
Your problems may be a simple matter of needing to alleviate some stress or as simple as having a pinched nerve. I would suggest try to think of your problems as something minor, akin to a cold that will disappear in a short while.
If, in the meantime, you suddenly find yourself unable to walk, talk or swallow normally, consult your GP. Otherwise, please relax and enjoy all of the wonderful things you are able to do.
