Hi guys sorry to bother all, worried I’ve got ALS, arounf three weeks ago after some serious stress and anxiety I started getting twitches/spasms all over my body and made the mistake of going into Google and seeing what it could be, I’m dreading it could be ALS…
it first started out as whole body twitches and would go from my right bicep to my left leg and from left leg to right tricep etc and now it’s mainly happening in my calf’s and thighs with occasional foot as well, Im in the dreaded anxiety phase of doing balance tests and strength tests all day and all seems fine, I can lift heavy at the gym, Bike and run and climb stairs etc, that being said there’s something I can’t shake about these twitches the only thing i couldn’t find on the internet was that they only happen when I’m ag rest, if I’m out walking or being busy or at the gym they don’t happen but as soon as I rest is when they start up and the anxiety I have from it is making things worse I’m sure,
I have a doctors appointment booked for next week and gonna ask for an EMG but just scared in the mean time, anwyay any general advice would be appreciated. I do have Graves’ disease (over active thyroid) but my levels are in the normal zone so don’t see how it can be that, sorry to bother and thank you
