Worried About ALS

[Justplayguitar16]

Ok so ive complained about twitches for the last week or so.
The main twitch that has subsided in the left knee cap twitch. I am so worried now that i went against my will and read up on twitching and im so scared that i have ALS ( Lou Gehrigs Diesase) I have twitching all over my body that never seems to stop. every 10 minutes something will twitch on my body , rather it be my calf..leg...arm....stomach.... somewhere something will twitch.  I have no muscle weakness though.  And sometimes my tongue feels numb , but maybe im just imagining that.

Im a mess once again and i dont know what to do. Also i do recall my tongue actually twitching once itself before too.

Am i alone and the only one whos ever feared this?

Your not alone... I dont fear that but I do share ib the fact that soon as I read symptoms of what I am searching I get more .... Try and not read I am trying it so far not too bad but I still suffer from my symptoms some days not as bad... Good luck I hope someone can answer more of your questions

i'v had a period of a lot of twitching as well, every few seconds something else would twitch.  it drove me crazy - lasted for several months, and then it subsided.  It's never really gone away, but it's lessened dramatically.  some people just get these, and they are benign.  The presenting symptoms of ALS are different - there is a really good website for 'twithchers' - something like aboutbfs.com - i'll get the right one to you if that's not it - i found it really helpful and reassuring.  take care

my left thigh and right knee have been twitching on and off now for weeks!  Just starting to subside now...but I feel I always have some sort of twitch going on.....Try not to stress out about it.....If it is making you sick, go see a neurologist to put your mind at ease.....you are ok...best to you!
