Hello, for about 3 months I have been having very odd symptoms. Twitching all over, face spasms when squinting or smiling, lost a lot of stamina , 3+ brisk reflexes and now this past week I’ve had arm weakness. I have seen a neurologist and he said everything is probably normal but he’ll schedule an emg about 2 months from now.
I had no idea what an emg was until I searched it up and saw it was one way to detect ALS. Up until the arm weakness which the neurologist hasn’t seen yet I wasn’t worried however with this arm weakness I have become worried. Anytime I grip something hard to push or pull my arm begins to shake and when i bend my right arm my bicep does this weird thing where it flutters/ vibrates. Although I understand this is not clinical weakness could this weakness eventually lead to clinical weakness? Have you guys had someone on here where his arm shakes when pulling/ pushing/ flexing? Any advice/ information would be greatly appreciated. ( I have also read the failing not feeling thread) thank you all in advance
