First- 20 year old male.
I know ALS is rare. I know that it is even more rare in someone young, such as myself.
But I fear I have ALS after reading about it a week ago.
I have had twitching in muscles for quite some time. But my doctor told me it was nothing about 3 years ago. Recently though, I have had weakness in my leg. I went to the doctor and she put her hand on my knee and told me to push my knee up. I was able to. And she did the same things with my other leg and arms. She told me I was fine. HUH?
Anyway, I left thinking it was nothing. A couple of weeks later, and the weakness is still here. My legs were even shaking as I was walking. The twitching is also still there.
I went online and typed in my symptoms and found ALS.
I am terrified now.
by the way, I know it's not vitamin D/B or anything like that.
