Hi! Thank you for being here. I have read another post on this forum about a 51 year old who had both quads feel “jello like” with twitching and jerking while at rest and he was diagnosed with ALS. THIS SCARED ME TO DEATH!
I read the “Read before you post”section and felt comforted to know that I am not a candidate for ALS bc I have twitching in both calves, some fingers on both hands, and spontaneous twitching in other areas. I recently developed jello like sensations in both quads and calves that worsen when I walk fast. I have no clinical weakness as described in the sections you tell us to read
I have had the twitching and quad/calve issues on and off for about three months and I am 62 years old. After reading about the man who was diagnosed with ALS without clinical weakness(failing to do a task) I am now scared to death!
I do suffer from anxiety but it seems like I now need to open the ALS Pandora box of testing. Looking for some reassurance regarding symptoms. I am able to power walk two miles a day even with the “jello leg” sensation. I do Pilates as well. The twitching comes and goes. I also have a bit of pins and needles in feet and hands as well. But this comes and goes too.
thank you!
