frequency of fasciculations
by joycecaroll on September 30th, 2014, 12:52 pm
I have about 3 twitches a day in my tongue. I asked a neurologist if this could be the start of als, or if it's too infrequent. He just said als fasciculations could start more infrequent and slowly becomming more frequent. Does anyone know anything about this?

If your tongue isn't shriveling up and dying it's quite unlikely it is anything other than a benign twitch. Same as any other muscle twitch in your body.
