First of all I want to show my love and sympathy for the people who have been diagnosed with a.l.s !
Second , I want to apologize for my english wich is kinda poor ( belgian ).
But i wanted to explain my symptoms on here since this range is wider... or how you say this haha
Since a couple of months ago ( 8 now ) i started having troubles running .. leggs just didnt have the strenght anymore like it should have. Was tired way to fast.
With as a result i kinda just gave up doing sports ... and became lazy.
When i decided to start over again i realised something was wrong ... this was not how i should feel even without doing sports !
So i decided to go to doctor which gave me the advice stopping by a neurologist.
Conclusion : denervation , more in right legg then left. and also exaggerated reflexes with that knee thing test.
this is one month and two weeks ago
one week before the docs visite i also had fasciculations over my entire body ... which are still there right now ...
special bloodtest gave normal results for everything.
Me knowing all this ... you can already guess afffraid of a.l.s
I am almost 25 right now and still a student .... i am honestly giving up everything since i am tired all the time and going to a depression because of anxiety.
I know that as long as you havent been diagnosed you cant give up yet ... but i just can`t cope with this although i try.
Reading on this forum i kinda concluding for myself already that i just have it and it cant be something else.
While writing this down i feel like being very disrespectful for all the people who are actually diagnosed and i shouldn`t exaggerate my situation.
But hell this is difficult !
