Hi I am new to the forum I am pretty sure I have ALs or some form of motor neron I have a couple of question of all you people living very bravely with this illness day to day I only hope if I do have ALs I can keep my spirits at the moment I am very confused and scared of whats to come I live on my own and I am a very independent persson
I dont know if all my symptoms are relevant to the illness
Symptoms:balanc problems for about ten years (drunk walk worse in dark)
Hands ; cramps if I grip anything two years now both thumbs very weak
Hands; dont work when cold no feeling
Speech ; started to slur just over a year ago I can still be understood if I speak slow and slurred it is worse when tired
Arms ; went (funny) 8 months ago once couldnt control it when using my fork started to happen more often now
Legs ; occasionally feel funny after sitting down have to stand still for a minute till feeling and strengh come back
I have seen 2 neros
last app 6 weeks ago followed by EMG
romberg test; could not walk heel to toe at all also fell backwards when stood with eyes hut
EMG ;definate fasciliations in right leg saw them also have noticed them all over since
Tongue ; cant see fascilations unless they are very fine
I can protrude it fully out but dont know if thinner
Swallowing ;no problem although eating slower
Sorry about long story for 2 questions
Is the cramps in my hands or the funny feeing in my arm or legs spacitity
I had my EMG 4 weeks ago how is it befor results I do not have apppointment wit neuro scheduled said would write or send after tests
Thank you for yor time and all the care you all show on this site
love to you all
