hello,
my father-in-law died a couple months ago of ALS. he was in his mid-sixties.
my husband is now concerned because he feels he has twitching muscles - thighs, arms, chest. and last week he said he felt arthritis-like symptoms in his hands. he is 31 years old.
i know there is no way to know for sure, but i wonder how worried we should be. should he start seeing a neurologist? my husband also thinks it might be stress - like when someone reads a lot or knows a lot about a disease he is convinced he has it.
any advice/suggestion would be so very appreciated. thanks.
