My story starts a month ago when I noticed my hand started to get really stiff and weak and I didn't know what was up. I went to the hospital a couple times and eventually they sent me to a Neurologist and ordered an EMG. When I got to the Neurologist he gave me a full exam and told me Neurologiclly was I was 100% fine and told me I had too much anxiety and canceled my EMG. I didn't think this was right because something is clearly wrong and after that things kept progressing. One month later my Right hand and arm is very weak, I'm starting to have trouble breathing, my left arm is weak and my left foot is starting to get weak. Do you think ALS would spread this fast? I can still use Right hand that has the initial weakness but it's just harder to write with Pen or use fork. He told me I had normal Reflexes and I can still pass Strength Test with hand and arm it's just getting weaker. I'm only 18 and this is driving me crazy and the weakness is starting to scare me to death. The only atrophy I have is in my Right wrist and I have Muscle Twitches everywhere. Does anyone know what else this could be? The hospitals don't want to listen to me and tell I'm fine. I feel like I'm just doomed to die....
