Hi,
I am 35 years old and I've been increasingly twitching everywhere for the past 4 months (or maybe even more), and I mean everywhere - constant in feet and calves, random in arms, fingers, back, chest, buttocks, face etc. They seem to increase after exercise but I can detect em while I am standing up or moving (neither can my neurologist when tapping me with the hammer). I dont have cramps, but have mild cramp like pain in the calves and arms.
I've got no weakness that I can detect - I can jump around on the toes of one leg, I run 5km on the crosstrainer every morning and my arm muscles seem to increase with exercise.
My neuro simply laughed at me when I've mentioned ALS and said that its just 'nerves' and put me on baclofen, but it didnt help any with the twitches
I know that noone on this site can diagnose me, but still, do those symptoms sound like ALS to you?
TIA
