Hello everyone.
for the past month I have had muscle twitches which sometimes appear as ripples under the skin. They are generally localised but can occur anywhere. Last week the fascics occured above my right knee at a frequency of at least 10 times per hour and as of yesterday thay are ocurring in my left thigh. The interesting thing is that they only occur while I am relaxed - is this typical of ALS? My main concern is that I may have ALS and I beleive this has made me anxious bringing increasing twitching and weakening the bladder; vicious cycle. Other symptoms I have are difficulty articulating words containing certain letters ( I have had this problem for about 4 years.) sometimes have heavy breathing.
Being only 23 with a family I wish to push on and put all of these concerns behind me. please help.
Regards
