I am a 30 year old male with odd symptoms. I currently have body wide muscle twitching but it's mostly in my calves. This has been going on for about 4 months now. I went to a neurologist, my exam was normal as was the EMG performed on the right side of my body (leg, arm, lower back, neck), and all my blood work was good. The EMG was done about 3-4 weeks into twitching. I recently got a second opinion from a different neurologist, and the exam was normal (reflexes,strength, Babinski). The doctor believes it's bfs. I was extremely anxious before the muscle twitching started but after reading about muscle twitching and ALS I can't get it out of my head. I have read the stickies. Prior to this I was on a really strict diet and I was taking a bunch of caffeine daily for workouts and Benadryl to sleep at night for months. I have stopped all of that since this began. What are your thoughts on this? I had other symptoms such as headaches and shaking but that has gone away.
Would the EMG have picked up ALS if that's what is causing my twitching?
Does this sound like als?
