Hello!
This is my first post here. I am scandinavian so please excuse my english.. I am a 36 year old female, mother of 4 and recently I´m experiencing strange and scary symptoms. My story started 6 weeks ago with twitcing in my lip. Two weeks later I twitch constantly all over my body, from spot to spot. These days I can see fasciculation nonstop in my legs and calves after using them..
I also feel like my right leg/foot is stiff, gets kind of cold, an awkward feeling.. I can still run and walk properly, but always feel this stiff feeling. Hard to explain, but have to try:? My right arm gets tired extremely fast...holding the coffeecup or remote is causing tiredness an d burning. I can still lift and do the same things, but I wonder if this weakness is related to ALS, did anyone experience the start of weakness in this way. My muscles also seem to have temors after use.
3 weeks ago I did an EMG and Nerveconduction in the affected areas, right arm and leg. The emg was normal, didn`t show any of my fasciculations either, funny enough.. The nerveconduction test was slightly decreased in the nerves from foot to my back. Not sure I am explaining this correctly!
I have done MRI and spinaltest too, which came back normal..
I am so scared now, I feel very depressed..have started on Cipralex.
I would be so grateful if anyone could answer me about my symptoms, especially this weakness thing..
thank you so much for your time,
Tina.
