This is a great site for those of us battling the questions and anxiety relqted to the subject matter. It has calmed me some. I read the sticky. My stuff started with forearm spasms on both arms. Also would feel twitching in both hands. As my concern grew so did the twitches and started to have in legs and feet and occasionally upper back and face. After a couple of weeks, my hands began to draw slightly when feeling for the right key or typing. Nothing i cant control, just pulling and slightly less coordinated dexterity than usual. That was enough to get me to my GP. By that time i had used doctor google to drive myself nutty (and my wife w my worry). I told GP my concern regarding ALS and twitching and change in my my hand motor function. He did very basic strength tests and I had no issues. He definitely thought i was over blowing the situation. That was 2 days ago. I remain worried and have set up a neuro appt. Other than dexterity and twitching, no other major changes. Is the fact that my twitching and hand issues started in both hands good, bad or neither? Im 42 year old male otherwise active and healthy. So sorry to those that are suffering with this disease.
