hi , our family has the genetic stem of als, apparently als hasn't skipped a generation yet. we can be tested if i have the family mutant gene, but im abit scared of knowing if i do or not, why would you want to know at 24. My mum was diagnosed at 30 and passed away at 35, but now i think im experiencing symptoms not quite sure, first off it was my right leg and left arm in pain , twitching and a tingiling sensation at times, like it was going numb happened for about a month, now that its stopped my back has decided to give my arm and leg a rest and started doing the same , my back has been like this for a week, i still have the strength in my arms legs and so i dont know what to think. What do you guys reckon?
