Hell

Ok maybe I should see a psychologist for help

The aboutbfs website has so many contradictory opinions on it... I just want to know whether my coarse twitch is due to ALS or not... geez I am close to having a mental breakdown

Also I am informed that ALS twitch is a fine twitch? Not a coarse one?

Thanks so much!!! I also have a sore muscle from the twitch as well... think it rules out ALS... but at times the irrational side would take over me... as I said I am in the process of college applications and I have tremendous anxiety. I don't think I can completely get rid of the hypochondria in short time but at least I understand that ALS twitch has a completely different mechanism Got one more question as of now: my leg still twitch when I am not that anxious ... or maybe I am still anxious but I don't Know I am? But whenever I am happier I twitch less

Hi all, I Am a 18yo male who are suffering from Cerebral Palsy since young. Recently I dropped into the fear of ALS. I have been noticing a localized twitch in my left thigh for about 3months. Before the twitch began I had a major stressful period of college applications. At the same time I noticed some perceived weaknesses (call it perceived because My parents have not really see any problem with my muscle besides the twitch ). It's impossible to test my reflexes because with the CP condition. My reflexes are naturally abnormal the twitch is on the scale of entire thigh muscle and NOT just part of it. When I twitch the entire muscle will visibly contract and sometimes strong enough to move my leg for a centimeter or two. The intervals of each twitch is anywhere between 5-60 seconds . The strange part is that the twitch is postural. I will twitch Only if I am sitting in my wheelchair, lying flat on the bed (with leg un- Crossed) and lying on my belly. Movement of leg muscle such as crawling, walking, or even standing and kneeling would not trigger the twitch, it doesn't interfere with sleep either. I do have muscle shrinks in both of my lower legs. But it's probably due to lack of exercise during the pandemic time... My question is whether twitch in ALS could be eased by movement? Am I safe from ALS for twitch 3 months without any weaknesses? Thanks
