Twitching for 3-4 Months (Ms)
Hi guys, after many weeks of being scared of ALS I’m finally asking for help online.
I got diagnosed with MS in February 28th 2025. I had no symptoms or any pain, the sight of my right eye was a little blurry (i could still read with that eye, so lucky..) so they decided to take an MRI and lumbar puncture. Everything came back positive for ms so they started giving me high doses of cortisone infusions for 5 days. I was a little tired after that, slept for a whole week. At around end of April I started getting some weird muscle twitches behind my right knee, at night in bed, out of literally nowhere. It went away when i’m active (or maybe i just didn’t notice it then). But I noticed it when I was resting. I had this constantly every day for 2 weeks and then it started moving. Until today, I’ve had this twitching all over now, thighs, calves, feet, butt, eye, shoulder,…,… So now it’s august and it still hasn’t stop, some places in my leg are currently twitching as i’m writing this in bed.
I started taking Magnesium in July too. A 150mg pill every day before bed.
I did get a second opinion in June in another state, cause I couldn’t believe I have ms. But it came back positive too. I asked the doctor about my twitches and she said it could be normal, it’s supposedly common in Ms. But the internet says otherwise and now I’m scared. I HOPE it is because of ms and not als.. Omg help..
