Hello Everyone!
This is my first post so bare with me. I'll spare everyone the details that took me from Aug. 2016 to now but as of now my Neurologist believes I may have PLS. I have had one MRI, 2 EMG's, several blood test and my next visit with her is Sept. 25th. I am seeing another Neurologist on June 15th for a second opinion. Walking is difficult and very slow, my right leg is the weakest, I have leg spasm in both legs, some muscle jerks, it's starting to affect my arms and I'm loosing my grip in my hands. Loose my balance a lot and I get extremely exhuasted and weak after much activity. My reflexes are extreme and I get startled easily now. Going up stairs is a chore and takes me a long time. I use to play the drums but when I hit the bass drum my foot would bounce and not stop so I've put that on hold. My emotions are crazy, I was actually mad one day and I could not stop laughing, that was so, so frustrating but I look back now and laugh about it. Starting to have issues when I drink with it going down the wrong hole and choking. Well that's me right now. I realize everyone is different but are some of ya'll have some of the similiar issues? And is there any advice anyone wants to give me? I'm open for it.
