Questions about als

[Justinp234]

Hi everyone. First of all you are all wonderful people and I’ve used this thread to research a lot and get some reassurance. I had some muscle twitches begin about a month ago and they have been jumping around my body all over(mainly at rest) and am really confident I have bfs. No weakness, I can perform daily activities. Maybe some slight aching in my hands and tingling in my feet sometimes. But I do work a physical job. Just definitely something new and worried me a lot at first. I am even seeing a neurologist and he said he doesn’t think I have als. He did mention that in a very small chance it could be als. And even that sometimes muscle twitches can be all over the body and at random with no weakness. And I didn’t know that was possible. He is scheduling some tests. Until then I’d just like to ask you all. Have any of you ever heard of only muscle twitches only happening all over the body at rest (when not active) as a early sign of als? I’ve wondered this a lot and done a lot of looking into it and just wanted your guys input. I’d really appreciate it , thanks all!

Important - READ BEFORE POSTING! Answers to common concerns about possible symptoms

We will try to answer reasonable questions. We are not here to argue with you. If you announce that you ”know” you have ALS when the doctors say otherwise, or you have not bothered to see a doctor, your thread will be closed. It is not our place to try to convince you you are wrong. Neither...

No, twitching without clinical weakness means nothing.
Let your doctor do the work - they are obviously just trying to reassure you.
