Hello All, I have been having strange muscle twitches between my thumb and pointer finger, it keeps me up at night. I can feel the muscle tighten just before it twitches, does this sound like anything concerning like ALS. It also twitches in my palm, this all happens on my left hand. I asked my Doctor and he couldn't give me an answer for sure. They did a strength test and simple nuro tests which all looked fine. My fingers are crossed its all just caused by stress. My mum passed from Bulbar in 2022, she was aged 70 when diagnosed although she had symptoms for a year before diagnosed. Mum passed at 72. Mums ALS was classed sporadic, no other family members have been diagnosed, we didn't have any genetic testing done. The Doctors put it down to environmental.
Just one other question in April 2021 I had a nerve conduction study and a EMG all come back saying no sign of ALS, would things have changed in 9 months should I ask for another one.
Thank you all for your time.
