Hello all.
I have read both the sticky and others' posts. For almost three months I've experienced almost constant twitching in my calves. It comes and goes in severity and gets worse after exercise and will migrate to my quads. Occasionally it will appear in my shoulders, biceps, or neck. I also have had horribly tight calves that won't losen when stretching. They don't cramp but they seem close often. I did notice when lifting my leg my quad started pulsating after a minute. It wasn't shaking but it was flexing very hard on and off. I also seem to have overactive reflexes when using the computer or writing. I'm not attempting to self-diagnose hyperreflexia, I just know I'm moving in a more jerky way than I used to.
I should add that I'm only 21.
Does this sound remotely like ALS?
