Summary

They feared ALS and still had moments of fear, though a neurologist did an EMG and said it did not look like ALS. They were taking Zyrtec daily but stopped before an upcoming immunologist appointment, and their twitching worsened after stopping. Their twitching also worsened after the COVID vaccine, while brain fog improved. In March 2022 they were still awaiting the immunologist.
