Somebody please reassure me
I have been twitching everyday on my left calf muscle and left foot for the past 9 weeks. Everyday. Its so stressful. I have been to the doctors and I have bulging discs in my lower back and degenerative changes. I'm waiting on a neruo appointment. Last 9 weeks I have been a worried mess thinking it's slow onset of ALS... I'm 33 so not young. Have kids and just a nervous wreck and losing weight with the stress of it all. Has anybody have anything similar

Hi Missy Kat I am in the exact same position as you but I’m now on 7 months of it! I’m 29 and female
I know how horrible it is it really consumes you to be honest I slowly was getting better and coping with life and i did notice the twitches disappeared - I am my own worst enemy as I recently read an article and my worries returned funnily enough so did the twitching
If you ever need to talk I’m always here I know how lonely it can feel I’m still suffering hoping I can get over it soon

Oh also for what it’s worth I’ve spoke to many neurologists who assure that twitching without clinical weakness really is nothing- it can be all sorts thyroid problems - vitamin deficiency and most of all anxiety!
Re: Somebody please reassure me
A lot of people die from ALS within three years, so if you’ve had twitches for months and no other symptoms, it’s pretty safe to assume it’s not ALS.
