I'm glad to see your cramping has gotten better. As mentioned by one of the above posters, many things can cause muscle twitching. Based on your symptoms, numbness and tingling have nothing to do with early symptoms of ALS neither does muscle burning. You will have muscle weakness and/or atrophy in one specific limb first almost always.
From what you have described it sounds to me like it's not ALS. ALS comes up when you do an internet search for twitching or weakness. This is another absurd way the internet works, as it is a VERY rare disease and should be the last thing to pop up on the internet or in your head.

Relax, don't try and diagnose yourself over the internet let the doctors do it.
Hi... I came across your post and sometimes have similar symptoms. I'm pretty sure I have benign fascicular syndrome because I've had twitching for over 2 years now with no other symptoms but they are still a constant source of anxiety for me. Just wondering what you may have come across. Thanks.
Hi Rose,
There are many illnesses that can cause muscle twitching... even stress & low magnesium levels can cause muscle twitching. Also, I've seen some fibromyalgia patients with muscle twitching problems and burning sensations.
I'm sending you a link, via PM, that may be able to help you.
Best,
