I Have Had Widespread Muscle Twitching For A Month
Question: Hi I have had widespread muscle twitching for a month and I am concerned it could be ALS
Brief Answer:
ALS may not be the only possibility
Detailed Answer:
We understand your concern. Widespread muscle twitching for a month's suggests muscle restlessness and weakness. That could be because of anxiety, poor quality of sleep, physical overexertion, ALS and benign fasciculation syndrome. NCV and EMG test should be done for proper diagnosis. Please do regular physical exercise, meditation on daily basis. Please drink plenty of water. Avoid oily, spicy food. Take care.
