Hello,
First i should state that I did read the sticky so i know i have some statistics on my side. However:
I'm a 28 year old male, started having twitches all over my body 1 1/2 to 2 months ago. Legs, biceps, face, neck, buttcheeks. pretty much everywhere. It's normal for me to get facial twitches from time to time, but never had body twitches really. One day my bicep was even firing for several hours. I also have been feeling abnormally fatigued lately, not muscle fatigue but just full body exhaustion. Anyways, about a week or so ago, I noticed while going down some steps that my left leg felt heavier than my right. Since this happened I've been very concerned. I'm wondering if this could be clinical weakness. I haven't fallen or even really tripped but I feel like i have to lift my left left leg higher when stepping up on curbs. My foot itself isn't weak though, this feels like it's coming from my upper leg/thigh. I have an appointment with my PCP today and then the neurologist in 2 weeks. Does this sound like ALS?
