I've read the sticky and still have some questions.
Recently we had someone close to use pass away from this horrible disease, she was not a family member but a family friend.
I myself have been battling an illness for awhile now but had convinced myself it wasn't ALS due to the pain I was feeling. One of my questions is that when our friend was sick she often screamed out in pain.
Does ALS actually hurt?
My symptoms are strange. (i don't have a nuerology appointment until February). Started in my right foot over the summer, it started to spasm. It wasn't a painful spasm just an annoying twitch. Then it started to progress to my right hand, and now I twitch all over my body but my right hand a foot and hard to use, ache, they are stiff and "feel" weak.
If anything it would be the spasms that make me fear that I may have this disease. I'm 29. Any advice?
Thank you all for your time.
