To all:
I have been veiwing this forum for some time now. I have had many of the symptoms that leads me to belive I have ALS. Starting in Dec 07 I start to have a strange feeling in my left cheek. It was not numb but more like the last few minutes of when your cheek is waking up from a novicane shot. Over the last months thing have gotten worse. The new symptoms include swallowing difficulties, the feeling of having to breath hard to catch my breath, feeling fullness in my mouth that makes it seem hard to speak, cramps in my legs, shaking in my arms, cramps and pain in my feet, hand and forearm falling asleep at night. I have been to a neuro and he did a check of my strenght and he said no to ALS. I feel he did not even check for bulbar ALS. The question I have is I will have these symptoms for a week or two and then they will disappear for a day or two or even a week or two. Each time they come back it seems a little worse. So can ALS symptoms come and go like that? Thank you!
