13Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Muscle twitching might be a symptom of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, a rare degenerative neurological disease. This condition causes nerve cell or neuron function in the body to deteriorate over time. Since nerve cells play a key role in voluntary muscle activities, thus allowing people to move, ALS could affect muscles and make it difficult to work properly. This eventually leads to muscle wastage, twitching, and weakness. In the long run, people with this illness might lose their ability to control basic movements. As a result, breathing, eating, talking, and walking can become much more challenging. [13]
