Hi there,
I posted a few weeks back and got some responses to my initial concern about ALS/MND due to varied symptoms that I have experienced over past 7 months .
Anyway I saw a Neurologist on 6th July and she done a full clinical examination of me and said that as far as she could see there was no sign of any Neuro degenerative disorder but as reassurance for me she would request and EMG ,Breathing tests ,etc , anyway a couple of weeks after this appointment I started experiencing more twitching than previously especially in left calf and also cramping too , I also noticed that my left ankle /bottom of leg looked smaller than right so measured it -difference of half an inch , I got back on phone to PA of neurologist and expressed my concerns but was told that Neurologist had not noticed anything of significance during examination (no muscle /wasting etc) I then became really worried maybe she had missed this , on top of this my breathing has also changed and I get breathless really quickly and feel like I just run out of gas ,also I am now getting sporadic twitching in other areas of body , mainly just one twitch ,right calf at times feels crampy too ,all this has come on since I saw Neurologist -What are you peoples thoughts on this as I cannot believe that my symptoms are picking up pace this quick-does it sound like ALS /MND
I hope I haven't offended anyone by posting again so quickly after my first post but I just need some advice /comments, I think its the speed that things have changed which worries me -Many thanks in advance
