Hi all, its my first post here and im very thankful for this forum, knowing that others are and have been in my shoes. i have pretty bad insomnia and have trouble getting deep sleep, and tend to wake up multiple times throughout the night. one day in high school, i noticed that i was getting twitches in my finger (after many minimal nights of sleep in a row), and i didnt think much of it. one day, i decided to do research on it and somehow got led to ALS and MS, not knowing that sleep deprivation could cause twitches. this sent me into a panic, because my grandfather passed of ALS, even though i know its not hereditary. i felt lost and was convinced that i was going to die from it. i started getting twitches all over, some constant and some random, some localized and some all over. later, i started getting a perceived weakness in my right leg (knee down) and right hand, sometimes so bad that my grip in my right hand would get so tired. with panic attacks nearly every other day now, these terrible symptoms lasted for another few months. i went to a therapist, doctor, and ALS specialist (no neuro scan), and they all cleared me. i would constantly do calf raises and grip tests to make sure that i wasnt getting weaker. it went away for a couple years, and now at 22, after a few sleepless nights, the twitching came back and then days after, so did that weird feeling in my right leg (knee down) and hand. its a really weird feeling in my leg, not pins and needles, it doesnt really feel weak i guess, but almost like its awakening after falling asleep. i feel like its slowly been getting better as my anxiety gets better, but this weird feeling is constant, but the twitches are gone. has anyone experienced similar symptoms? i hope im not alone here.
