Hi everyone
I'm a 22-year old guy that lives in Sweden and I got in touch with this website today (well actually, I decided to post something on the forum today..).
The thing is that I've been having these, I would say, serious symptoms of what I fear could be PMA/ALS.
I've done one EMG/EMS test and it came back clean. Done MRI scans, clean aswell. Then you might ask why I'm writing this, well, since two years ago, I've had muscular atrophy in my left leg (the whole leg, from the foot to like, the hip) and just three months ago, I've also started to feel it in my left arm.
I've had fasciculations for two years now everywhere on my body, but the atrophy is right now in left leg and left arm.
The reason why I'm posting is because I'm very curious in how it started for you out there. I can say, that in the spring of 2005 (april), I started to feel strange in my left leg and at first I thought it was sciatica. But as time went on, and I actually didnt feel anything else but that "strange feeling" getting just a little worse over the years, two years ago I started to see the changes in the leg. Then, today, I can't do much. I can't run, I walk for short moments or it starts to ache everywhere in the leg. I was very active aswell but nowadays I "only" do the gym but I'm sure that I wont be able to do that either properly because of the arm.
I have some more tests in May this year, but I would really like to know how it started for you.
