Does ALS twitching come and go?

Does anyone have twitching that come and goes in the same muscle? Other muscles twitch now and then but not steadily like me upper arm muscle. I had it for a month and than it went away for a week and than came back. What does that mean. How concerned should I be? My father had ALS and I remember his twitching and that makes me worry. I was going to have a electromyography last week but the twitching stopped so I canceled it. Now I'm sorry. I rescheduled for next month. So I'll worry until then.
 
Hi ursaida. Please try not to worry. It makes twitching worse usually. If twitching comes and goes it is usually benign. Lots of family members of PALS don't get ALS.
AL.
