I would like to discuss some symptoms I've been having which I fear may be ALS. In August last year I noticed that I had reduced muscle in left right lower arm. I put this to the back of my mind and forgot about it to be honest. Then sometime earlier this year I started developing ver strong muscle cramps and twitching. Now I have various muscles beginning to waste away along with overwhelming fatigue generally and with muscle overuse. I also have pins and needles if a lean on a nerve, but not sure if this is an ALS symptom or not. I'm awaiting to go to Newcastle (Uk) for neuro testing. I don't expect anybody to diagnose me on here but rather would like to discuss your experiences. I'm a nurse practitioner so both my gp and myself are concerned and he is speeding me through the system as I can tell him the exact nature of my concerns. Any info or discussion would be gratefully received and I'll keep you all updated on my progression. Thanks in advance :grin:
