Hi, I wanted to see if I might have very early signs of ALS. These are my symptoms. I have a positive pronator drift, my left hand is very weak, and I have a pulsating fasciculation near my wrist(pulse). I have complete weakness in my left leg and foot drops inward & mild twitches(not visible just under skin) in my calf and stomach. I have been to Neuro in Phila, & he has ran many tests, including MRI, MRI spinal, all blood work, and I have had ANA & creatine kinase twice, all results normal. I have very stiff muscles during sleep and after I wake up. I am scheduled for an EEG, but not EMG yet. My hand cant make the ok sign wout my fingers failing, & cant keep my hand on my waist, & when I tap my fingers with my thumb I do double taps. I have no speech issues. My Dr. and I do not know what is wrong. I feel very nervous, however it has only been 5 wks, but I wanted to see if anyone could help me or make any suggestions. Thank you, Barb
