Intuition,
You can use the search feature of this forum to find many past posts on subjects you are concerned about. Please remember that this forum is not composed of doctors, but rather people with
als and their caregivers. So, its a support forum, rather than professional advise. (That's what your doctor is for).
It is very much appreciated if those who are newly concerned about their symptoms to take the initiate to search and try to get some answers to their questions. Many PALS have limited use of their hands for typing, and all CALS have limited use of their time!
The short answer to your question is that none of what you describe sounds like
ALS to me.
Good luck, I hope your doctor is able to get some insight, and recommend effective treatment.
take care
