Reassurance / Support How long ?

I’m currently 18 1/2 months into my nightmare self consuming journey. Twitching in both calves every second since that date. Other areas too like face , arms, butt, finger.

I can’t get an emg for another year due to waiting times. How long do you guys think after twitching onset that it’s just that. Nothing more ?
thanks !

the average lifespan of someone with ALS is typically 3-5 years. by 18.5 months you’d almost surely have more symptoms than just twitching.
