Is muscle jerking and twitching on difrent parts of body signs of als, or only if it's in one part? not constant they come and they go ?

Relax: You may have muscular irritability, but your description is not at all worrisome for ALS, which is a rather uncommon condition in general. Might see your doctor and get examined, as many benign conditions can be reversed.
