morgans 15 Posted January 22, 2019 I’ve been a twitcher for going on 4 years now with the accompanying ALS worry for about as long. I have seen my GP about them several times and she said stress/anxiety etc. I thought I had put all of this behind me but.. this is morning a saw an article in the news about ALS and totally lost it and spiraled. I made an appointment with a neurologist, but couldn’t get in for two weeks. I haven’t felt this anxious about ALS in a long time. Im not sure what I’m hoping to get out of this post. Just support I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bin_tenn 1252 Posted January 22, 2019 Your GP is right. What you described, from what I understand, is not indicative of ALS in any way. Will seeing a neurologist and getting the all clear let you put this all behind you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morgans 15 Posted January 22, 2019 That is my hope. You would think that after 4 years I would be able to accept them as benign. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dotdispenser 12 Posted January 22, 2019 Well the good news is that you’ve been twitching for 4 years. I’ve never read a story of an ALS patient twitching without other symptoms popping up for longer than a month, and trust me when I say that I have read enough stories on the ALS website that I could just about tell you every type of onset of symptoms you wanted to know about. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morgans 15 Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for the support. I know that it is unlikely after four years, but that sliver of doubt is hard to shake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morgans 15 Posted January 22, 2019 I got my neurologist appointment moved to Friday. I am really hoping to put all this behind me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
