Answers:
I agree that you need to see a doctor, but also take a look at your diet!. Some of your symptoms could be explained by a nutritional deficit!. Try taking a multivitamin every day, or eating more fruits and veggies and make sure to get enough potassium, magnesium, and calcium! Your doctor should draw some blood to check for your electrolyte levels BMP or CMP!. Feel Better Soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think twitching is one of the syptoms!.!.!. Early symptoms of ALS often include increasing muscle weakness, especially involving the arms and legs, speech, swallowing or breathing!. When muscles no longer receive the messages from the motor neurons that they require to function, the muscles begin to atrophy (become smaller)!. Limbs begin to look "thinner" as muscle tissue atrophies!.

If you have insurance it's a good idea to get a check up at the doctor and ask about it!.!.!. if you have a good insurance place it should cost below 50$ for a simple check-up you can enver be to sure, and 50$ is waaaaaaaayyyyyy better then paralyzation, or even death, so get yourself checked up!

To answer the person below me ALS is when your muscles slowly die away!.!.!. if not treated it leads to paralyzation and even death!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i kinda know what you mean, i have been curious about this too!. i dont seem to get it as often as you but atleast a couple times a day i will have small little muscle twitches, like in my arms or legs!. i used to not have them so much but now i have them more and more, and some times a muscle will start twitching and that same muscle will keep at it for like an hour!. its really weird!.

EDIT: im 15 btw!. and what is als!? is that something serious!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
