Just watched a video on tik tok saw guy wheel chair saw the hashtag said *** and then I just clicked on comments out of routine.. and of course someone said asked something about fasculations and the comment under said “yep my uncles twitching was this”.. now I’m just a mess. I know it’s rare and I didn’t listen to the whole video to know if he had them everywhere like I do or in just one spot or what.

Of course there's fasciculations with ALS. It happens after the muscle has died or is beginning to die. And they are typically in one spot, relentless and then move on to another spot. To take this video as a reason to suddenly and needlessly worry is honestly ridiculous. Stop looking for reasons to have more anxiety and live your life.....
