I am a sports enthusiast and this year have ran almost 2000 miles, including 1 marathon.

I noticed my calf muscles twitching, which is very visible at times. It happens when i'm either sitting or laying down. I can really notice is at night.

Then there are other twitching sensations going through other parts of my body.

This has been going on for almost 2 months.

Could this be a sign of MND/ALS? no muscle weakness. Some tension in calves/lower back.

      Hello. No, but i was taking Betahistine for 2 weeks, as DR prescribed it to me to help with dizziness.

      I am a male, 27, white.

      What is your familiarity with this?

      in my case side effects from taking antibiotics that haven't left yet. make sure you run tests to make sure your muscles are ok. I too used to be a runner and taekwondo athlete and now can't do that no more. hope you're feeling better
