Hello all, thank you for taking the time to read my questions and hopefully reply. I am sorry you all are going through this tough and awful disease. I have been a reoccurring reader on these forums for about a year now. I started a medication last October called enbrel for arthritis, I am 29 years old. After a few weeks I noticed muscle twitches in my legs, mostly my thighs and calf muscles. I made the mistake of googling it and it sent me into a dark place and I was horrified. Since then I have asked my Dr and he has said that I am totally fine and doesn’t seem to care about the twitches at all. Since then the twitching has spread to my arms, back, abdomen and pretty much everywhere. I’ll even twitch for several hours in one spot and it freaks me out because I think I have ALS. Everyone says location and duration doesn’t matter. But I continue to read about people who twitched for a year then are diagnosed. So my question is should I let these fears go ? I have been taking busbar and it seems to help but every time I feel a twitch my heart races and I go into panic google mode. Please advise. Thank you all.
