Eric Barnett replied to the topic Do you experience muscle twitching? in the forum Living With ALS 3 years, 2 months ago

So far legs are holding up. -

I too quit taking Riluzole. Lots of pain between chest and belly button area. Tried 1st time for 2 months. Took a break for 3 months then went back on for about 4 months. Pain wasn’t worth it.
