I'm in process of being officially diagnosed. Noticed in July, middle finger would draw back all the way. Now right hand curled, no strength, right foot slaps when I walk. Everyone asks what's wrong with me. Left foot weak, left hand weak , middle finger droops on this hand now. Muscle ripples in arms and legs. Wears me out to get dressed. Now dr. Called and said my 24 hour urine collection test shows very low copper levels. Did a blood test for that last night. If confirmed , will have to treat immediately . Has anyone heard about copper levels being low with ALS? This is the only test that has come back not normal. We have already about ruled everything else out besides ALS. Would also like to ask, am I progressing fairly fast? Doc. won't really tell me, but kinda thinks 1-3 years survival.
