Hi guys, here I am back again after quite a long time without HA.
It started about a month ago when I developed tiny twitches, like buzzing in my thigh area. It mostly was in one area but in different muscles and occasionally I had them all over the body. No other symptoms at all but I was terrified it was ALS (I googled :blush:). It lasted about two weeks when I had a chance to talk to a nurse in my GP surgery and she assured that twitches without other symptoms are nothing. After that I stopped worrying and gradually all twitches disappeared.
For about two weeks I had no twitches at all until yesterday when after quite a long walk I felt tiny twitches / buzzing in one particular muscle in ankle area. It lasted for some hours and re-started in the afternoon today after I had my yoga and I am still twitching now, seems like it is getting more intense. This time it seems to be triggered by movement, I start twitching when I use the muscle. I am very scared and just can't think rationally. I know that ALS is about muscle weakness, not twitches, but it doesn't help.
Just to mention: I am 36yo healthy female, recently I had an extensive health assessments and all tests came back normal (it was before the twitches started so I didn't have a chance to ask a doctor).
Pleeease, someone, tell me if it sounds scary and I should see a doctor or it is me just panicking again? Thanks!
