Let me start by saying I read alot of posts on here of people who think they may have ALS and in one of the posts (I am not going to mention any names) but a LONG time poster on here was, I feel, very very rude to the new person posting. Now I understand you must get people on here often that have the littlest symptom and they are freaking out and you all get tired of it...however, thats what this section of the forum is for. It's to help people to maybe know if what they are experiencing is that. So with that said I would appreciate NO negative mean posts. If you don't want to answer me then do not reply. I am not here to bother anyone or annoy them...I am here because I am scared. I do not wish to be made to feel WORSE. With that said ...thank you for listening and here is my question/story.
Hi....a few years ago I posted on here...I thought I may have had symptoms of ALS....My symptoms at the time while they included muscle weakness and a feeling of muscle fatigue and some tingling etc....I did not experience tripping and dropping things with my hands. Well recently I have been having problems. I have been tripping...at first I blamed it on my sneakers catching on the carpet...this happened maybe 5 times in my house over the last 3 months. Then tripping while outside....My joints in my fingers feel very sore..especially at night and in the morning but as the day goes on they feel better I was checked for Arthritis a few years ago it came up negative. btw..I am a 42 year old woman. I was eating dinner the other night and turning my fork over and dropped it...feeling very clumsy lately. Then last night my leg kind of gave out while I was walking. My left one. My left hip has been hurting alot lately.
Now, to me...these sound like definet signs of ALS. Which is leading me to think that 2 years ago when I felt those other signs it could have even been the start of it?
I am not going to lie...I am scared to death. So any advice anyone can give I would appreciate.
Thanks,
