Fasciculation and muscle weakness

Hello all,

I am a 22 year old male in Canada and was wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms to what I´m experiencing.

In began having fasciculations in my left shoulder in January 2021 (3 months ago) and they quickly spread to the rest of my body. I´ve now noticed consistent twitches in my legs especially calfs and feet. Usually, I would always feel the twitch, but the ones in my calf are so faint that sometimes I can´t tell they´re occuring unless I look at them.

Recently, I've noticed that the muscles fibres in my thighs and calfs seem to contract and release, almost like they are vibrating. This usually occurs when the muscle is not fully contracted but not fully at rest. I can feel the individual fibres when I place my hand on my thigh and take a half squat or lunge forward slightly. There is also a certain amount of shakiness in my legs when I stand or have my feet up in an awkward position.

I went to see a doctor last week and had bloodwork done last week which indicated high billirubin. I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms, if so, do you have a diagnosis or any idea of what might be causing these symptoms?

Thanks a ton!
