ALS : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the upper and lower motor neurons and causes weakness. Twitching or fasciculations occur in the upper arms and thighs. Men are more frequently affected and in ages that range from 40-60. It is also very rare and occurs in 1 in a 100, 000 people. See your physician or neurologist for evaluation.

NOT ALS: Twitching over "random body parts" intermittently is not a sign of a dreadful deadly neurological disease.
