I am 57 years old. I am truly frightened as I have muscle twitching almost constantly in calves and thighs. Less frequently in other regions. My fear is ALS I have visited my doctor. All labs are normal. My question is can someone my age be diagnosed with bfs? The Internet is truly scary

I was recently diagnosed with PN and experience twitching in calves, thighs, and arms (triceps primarily) as well and have similar anxiety. I did have an EMG and nerve conduction study and was told it was not ALS. PN can cause the symptoms we’re having but it is difficult not to worry about it. Have you had an EMG?
