Hey,I'm a 28 yr old french maleFor 2 months and half I have twitchings all over my body. It started by my tympanum vibrating and few days after, I had fasciculations on arms, legs, lips, etc... (my ear problem disapeared since). Few days after I started feeling pins and needles mostly in my hands and feets and had numbness in my hands very often when I woke up.My GP told me it was just anxiety (BFS does not "exist" in french medicine) and he made me some blood tests (calcium, lyme, thyroidia...) that came up normal.I have soreness a little bit everywhere moving from place to place (wrists, shoulders, neck, head). Not very painful but a little bit scaryI discovered this wonderful website that reassured me a lot sinc a I discovered a lot of people having problems like mine for a long time and stille alive!For 2 weeks I'm quite worried because I woke up a few nights with cramps in my right calf. I just have to move the foot for it to stop. No cramp at all during the day, even after some workout. I looked closely at my calf during the day and I discovered that I have non-stop fasciculations in that calf that I can not feel. I think these fasciculations are the cause of my night cramps, but this worries me a lot. I never had these night cramps before.My GP said I don't have to fear about ALS since I don't have true weakness (I can run 5km/3 miles and bike in montains without problems). This did not reassure me because I am now looking for weakness every day and I know that 6% of ALS people start only with fasciculations and cramps without weakness and I think that as a young people it might be longer for the weakness to come. Maybe I've spent a little to much on google too!Anything had similar symptoms? I will consult a neuro by the end of this month but it seems to me like a very long time
