A member asked:
Ive had muscle twitches all over the body for 9 months, if it was als would there be any more symptoms by now?

Yes.: although it varies, there would be considerable weakness. Myasthenia, electrolyte abnormalities, many other disorders of the nerves or muscle can cause twitching.

Seriously doubt you have ALS or even an hereditary spinal muscular atrophy. Most likely you possess benign fasciculations, but cannot exclude "tics" such as Tourette's, "jerks" such as myoclonus, and other movement disorders. Not feasible to be precise in absence of direct views. Suggest virtual consult on the paid portion of this HT website.
