Good morning all! Hubby has a new thing going on and I am trying to figure out if this is generalized anxiety or a physical symptom of ALS. Hoping you can give some advice.
In the early evenings, my PALS starts to feel like he needs to get out of his chair and move. He feels like his body is telling him to go run a couple of miles or something. Generally, his muscles are twitching a lot more during and after this. I do know he feels anxious during these episodes, but mainly out of frustration that he can't do much to alleviate the problems. He has described the feeling as restlessness in his legs and other areas.
We are on hospice as many of you know. I will be picking up liquid morphine and ativan to have on hand, but those are specifically for a respiratory crisis.
Is this something others have experienced?
As always, I appreciate your help and support.
Love and light
Meg
