Up until now, my twitching has only occured when I have been resting. Well today, I was lifting groceries off the counter and my right tricep started twitching. I thought that benign twitching always stopped when the muscle was contracted. Does this sound more like ALS twitching? I am freaking out! My neuro appt is still 5 days away. Should I be more concerned about this type of twitching?
 
Simply put . . . no, it shouldn't concern you any more. The initiation of twitches with the flexing of muscles is not something out of the ordinary.

Go back to your original thread and read the posts so you keep calm until your neuro appointment.

As alwasy, we're here in the meantime if you need us.
 
Why do all the internet sites say that with BFS the twitches will not occur in contracted muscle, and with ALS they will? Thank you for being so helpful Wright.
 
There is a lot of crappy info on the internet. Nuff said. Please relax Kristin.
