Hi. I am a 40 year old realtively healthy female (carrying a few extra pounds after 2 kids!). A few weeks ago I started feeling twitches in what I thought were various parts of my body. They now seem to have settled into my legs - most prominent in my calf but also I can feel them in my thighs. The most shocking thing was actually seeing one roll through my calf! I feel like something is horribly wrong, although I don't seem to have any other symptoms right now - no weakness, tripping, foot drop etc.
I did some searching about muscle twitches and everything seems to scream ALS. Some information I have read says that twitches are an early sign other sources say that twitches are a later sign - when the muscle is "dying". Does anyone out there have any thoughts? Many thanks for your support!
