Exercise Tolerance: Not sure what an ALS doctor is. But, muscles that twitch are usually muscles that are out of shape and have no exercise tolerance or the limit of the muscle's tolerance has been reached. Perhaps an exercise program is warranted? A physical therapy intervention? A circulatory evaluation at a vascular specialists?
