Around March 11th 2005, i had a weird experience where i felt a sudden like heat rush come over me. Shortly after, i noticed tightness in my upper calfs. The tightness turned into twitching and gradually increased. I continued doing everything as normally as possible, etc. I then began to feel lightheaded and the twitching increased greatly after any physical activity, made it very hard to sleep. One day after volleyball, i noticed a very weird ringing in my one ear, kind of like british police car siren. I also started to have like mini seizures that would wake me out of sleep, usually right as i began to fall asleep. I then lost my appetite for like two days and dropped about 15 pounds. I was fatigued, but still able to do the day to day stuff, but tired as hell. I went to see my doctor. He took my blood pressure and it was like 144/91. He felt the twitches/light headedness was because of this. Started to do more cardio/stopped eating junk food. I gradually started to get better, still have the god *beep* twitching, and trouble sleeping, but the light headedness is gone. The seizure type episodes seem to be dying down. Now it just feels like my whole body is shaking most of the time, with ocassional buzzing in my hand/foot. No weakness or wasting with muscles, and i figure with ALS, this would probably start to happen after 3 months. Overall the twitches are less frequent and now i just have a buzzing effect some of the time. They are always in the calfs and sometimes appear in other random places (neck, shoulders, hand, stomach). I'm a 21 year old male, and this whole thing really sucks 
I hope to see a neuro after my health insurance kicks in.
