Hi there-

If you could read here: Read Before Posting, it explains much. In it you will read that twitching on its own means nothing- especially after 4 years. We also encourage people to visit with their doctors to get a physical exam if they're worried about their health.

I realize you've posted here before- past thread here:

22 year old female. Do I have ALS?

I am a 22 year old female. About 3 months ago I my right thumb started twitching. It would twitch everyday out of no where. I googled my symptom and als was the first thing to pop up. My twitching has since spread all over my body both of my arms, both of my hands and fingers, and feet, my legs...

It appears you have struggled with fear of ALS for years now. It is hoped that time and maybe a visit with your doctor for a clean physical should reassure you. If it does not, perhaps it might be time to deal with your fear of ALS. 4 years is an awfully long time to live with that worry.

sure isn't ALS, please discuss your fears with your doctor as this fear must be debilitating to live with and you can get help.
