The timeframe was given by Mayo researchers - thats the dark side of this study. I still say, there should be all information, not just half..
So about Mayo study: None of followed subjects with twitching at least 2 years developed ALS in next 16 (and in few cases even 32) years.
Anyway, nobody from this site got ALS and most respected neurologists say the same: clean EMG, clean clinical means no ALS at this time.
is he the exception of a widespread als-twitcher without weakness?
