Hi, my name's Paige and i am 18 years old.
Lately, I have been really worried that i may have ALS since coming across it on the internet and comparing it with my symptoms. I started to feel ill about four weeks ago with stomach pain, and back pain, however, since about three days ago my right leg has started to feel heavy/numb, along with my right arm feeling very weak. I am getting pains in my hands and pains in my legs, especially my thighs.
My strength is pretty much the same and I am still able to grip things tightly but my muscles hurt if, for example, i hold my leg up for a while. My right leg feels really weird and really heavy, but numb and stiff at the same time :S I am really scared that this is ALS and was just wondering if any one could give me their opinion?
Thank you.
