Accepted Answer

Hereditary ALS: Genetic familial ALS is very rare, and clusters in folks of South Pacific backgrounds.  Most likely you have benign fasciculations, but thyroid dysfunction may also be a culprit.  Suggest you have these items checked by a neurologist, just to reassure you if nothing else.  My condolences for the loss of your sister.

Question 3

6months ago i started having tingling in hands. now i have muscle twitching all over my body. the tingling is more here and there. ?

Accepted Answer

Get neurology exam: When you first mention the tingling in your hands,
my first thought would be to evaluate possible
carpal tunnel syndrome
But the other symptoms are non specific
So I think youll need a good neurology exam
and possibly an ncv study

: Unless your TSH is low than normal, a higher T4 than normal does not mean you have hyperthyroidism. Those symptoms are not common in hyperthyroidism.

Question 7

my muscle twitch sometimes and i also have tingling and hot sensations in my leg and hand, thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Twitching : Muscle twitching or fasciculation in the absence of weakness or atrophy (thinning of the muscle) is a common benign occurrence.  The tingling and hot sensation in the hand/ leg could indicate some form of nerve function problem.  The cause of the twitching may be related to the tingling sensation. This could be due to compression, or neuropathy. Check with your doctor for correct diagnosis.
