Brief Answer:
Seek a direct appointment with a Neurologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
It is difficult to reach to a conclusion, given the fact that your only symptom is gradually progressive generalized twitches. More information such as, any abnormality of sensations, generalized
muscular pain, fatigue,
dizziness, change in handwriting, difficulty in kneeling/climbing or descending stairs,
muscle cramps, stiffness of muscles etc.
However, the following possibilities come to the mind :-
1. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating
Polyradiculopathy (CIDP) : It is a chronically progressive disorder involving nerves, spine and lower part of brain (brainstem). It causes abnormality of sensations (such as tingling and numbness of hands and feet/lower legs) and
muscle weakness. Majority of the cases improve with specific treatment, though the symptoms may progress gradually.
2.
Motor Neuron Disease (MND), particularly Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS):- is a progressive degeneration of nerves supplying the muscles, leading to
twitches, cramps, weakness of muscles. However, the sensations are not involved.
3.
Polymyositis :- is a gradually progressive disease of muscles, leading to weakness of different muscles. Twitches, weakness of muscles around the pelvis or shoulder joints are the initial manifestations.
No further comments can be offered on the basis of sketchy information.
It is therefore recommended that you DIRECTLY seek an appointment with a Neurologist, who will examine you thoroughly, advise relevant investigations,
and- based on the tests' reports- will you of the best course of action / management.
Hope I have addressed to your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any.
Fond regards and have a nice day,
