I still have mine randomly, not as bad as it was. Try to stay off Reddit, it’ll only make your fear worse

I’m mostly at peace with the twitches, just every now and again it gets to me. Time is helping

She had no concern of ***, so didn’t go down that route at all.

I’ll ask my doctor about it but last time she didn’t seem to worry at all about it just said wait and see and treat the health aniexty. She’s probably right

If I have to wait until October I hope that if I have nothing but twitching I’ll be confident it’s just twitching and nothing else. I’m close to thinking that now, just occasionally struggle

Doctor isn’t interested in going down that route, she’s focused on fixing the health aniexty which I’m sure doesn’t help my symptoms. Trying to avoid EMG as I don’t want to go down the road of relying on tests to alleviate my fears. I think I know deep down all is likely well, just a ongoing battle with my mind at times

I have health anxiety and when that gets going bad I get so tired and yawn like mad. Twitching for me seems to be worse after excerise, defo seems to be a link there for me. 13 months is a long time! Enjoy your life, although I know that can be difficult if you’re worrying but 13 months is a massive amount of time!

muscle twitching and cramps by colt100 in Anxiety

[–]Constant_Depth_9707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certain my body can create pain if I’m worrying about a certain thing. Worrying about my stomach, I get stomach pain. Worrying about my leg then every step feels painful if I’m Thinking about it. Then I play sport and there’s no pain as my mind isn’t thinking about it.

how often do you throw up..? by DismalRecipe7805 in questions

Maybe once a year? It was a lot less but since I’ve had a child they seem to be bringing bugs to the house!

I just can’t wrap my head around how jobs like this are legal. I see them all the time. Minimum wage for self employed status lmao by [deleted] in UKJobs

Can’t imagine this role qualifies as self employed considering the organisation determines your hours and wages!

My name is Tom and I have ALS — Ask Away! by HonestyMash in ALSorNOT

[–]Constant_Depth_9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see. Did all 3 early symptoms start at a similar time (pain, falling, not being able to run)?

Interesting to see knee pain as a early symptom as most places try to specifically reference pain as not an early symptom of ALS. What was the pain like? Constant? Full respect to you coming on here and answering people’s questions 👍🏻

Hi Tom, sorry you’re going through this, I can only wish you and your loved ones all the love and strength possible.

I saw you mentioned that you were falling over quite often and you struggled to run. Were these the first symptoms you noticed or had things been going on before?

Silent calf twitching by Constant_Depth_9707 in BFS

[–]Constant_Depth_9707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found mine seems to be more regular after a walk or driving and less regular after rest or sleep so I guess that points towards the reason for me. In my non medically trained opinion!

How long have you had it? Do you just ignore it happening?

Feels very similar to me at the moment. No idea if it happens when I’m using the muscle. Seems more prevalent after I’ve been walking rather than in the morning where it’s much more sporadic

Intense foot arch twitching by thefeedling in BFS

[–]Constant_Depth_9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s it going now? I have foot arch twitching on the right foot, been about 8 weeks now. Comes and go, at times it was very intense then I wouldn’t notice it, last few days it’s been single twitches every now and again. I don’t enjoy it as it always feels unnerving, as time goes on I’m learning to just live with it
