Hello everyone. I'm new on here have alot of fears and anxiety about ALS.
I have not been diagnosed. I've had four opinions from 4 different doctors that say I do not have that. I do have an EMG schedule in 3 weeks.
I've been having a lot of pain in my legs feet arms. I would say minimal weakness. I do have minimal cramping. Not severe but memo cramping with spasms.
I experienced my first symptoms about a month ago. I went to my PCP and he did an exam and said he didn't believe I had it but send me to a neurologist. He did a physical exam and said the same thing that there was no way I had it. Then I wanted a second opinion so I went to the nurse practitioner for the neurologist office. She said the same thing that she didn't think I had it but she did schedule me for an EMG. The problem was they could not see me until April.
I have went to a rheumatologist and he's done a lot of blood work on me and found nothing certain.
Days like today I'm in so much pain. I'm just really concerned and it's eating me up with anxiety so bad that I have to see a psychiatrist and be on anxiety meds. So basically I just need someone to talk to and to ease my fears may be a little bit.
It has been fired up that I might have fibromyalgia.
