I have read on this forum that some people with ALS noticed muscle twitching as their first symptom, followed later by weakness, atrophy, etc. One person stated that his first symptom was twitching in his calf muscles. I have had almost nonstop twitching in my calf muscles for a couple of weeks, along with a kind of buzzy feeling in my feet. There is also the occasional muscle twitch in my arm, around my clavicle/throat area (pretty rare at this point), and forearm (also rare). For people with ALS for whom twitching was their first symptom--especially leg or calf twitching--how long did you have that localized twitching before other symptoms developed, such as weakness, cramping, atrophy, twitching in other muscle groups, etc.?
Thanks for your help.
