Good morning all,
Sorry to bother you again with my symptoms, but I'm growing concerned again about the possibility of MND. I posted previously concerning what I thought were bulbar symptoms, and the consensus was that the symptoms did not sound like ALS, and my neurologist did not notice anything during our visit. My symptoms never went away, although some days are better than others which I'm told points away from ALS.
As I said above though, I've developed some new symptoms that have me concerned. For a few weeks now I've had a strange feeling in my left foot, almost as though there's a sock bunched up underneath my middle toe. I've also felt generally weak on my left side (I know about perceived weakness and clinical weakness, but it has to start somewhere right? You don't just wake up and suddenly can't walk). I've had a vibrating buzzing feeling slightly above my left knee - at first it was occasional but last night it lasted for probably a few hours. I have similar issues occurring in my left arm (feeling weak, buzzing/twitching). Rarely, I'll have a small amount of twitching on my right side so it's not entirely one-sided, but my right side does not share any of the feelings of weakness. I tried to watch my left leg during a buzzing/twitching episode and did not see any visible movement, for whatever that's worth.
I'd appreciate any feedback that anyone has to offer - thanks.
