Hello, I’ve been reading others posts trying to get enough info to calm my nerves but I would like to hear from someone directly.
I’ve had muscle twitching and cramping 80 percent of it is coming from my left thigh but the rest is all over my body. I do have muscle fatigue on left arm but I have not been dropping anything or unable to do things. It’s only been 2 weeks since this started. But I have an overall feeling of unwellness and muscle agitation. I saw the neurologist today and he said my reflexes are good but he did order an emg study (he did say I probably wouldn’t have strength loss or atrophy after only 2 weeks).
From what I understand those with als don’t really feel it. You just start noticing you can’t do things you used to. The cramping and twitching and muscle fatigue and muscle (I don’t know how to describe it other than agitation) is not something that you have at least as a first symptom. Is that correct? Also if you did have the cramping and twitching would it be in only one muscle and how quickly does it move to other parts?
Thank you and god bless.
