My neuro appointment is the 22 of January. I have been going insane and feel I will continue to do so until my appointment. I keep trying to put non-als answers to my symptoms but can't shake the fear that this is what I am dealing with.
About 6 months ago I started experiencing stiffness upon waking. I chalked it up to being pregnant. My son is now 3 months old and the stiffness has now turned into a "weak" feeling on my right side. I have been experiencing twitches mainly on the right side. However, the left has started now as well. I am having neck pain, pain between my shoulders. When I use my right side I have the feeling of being sore as if I worked out. My tongue has been scalloped for over a year and I see twitching there as well.
What really has me concerned right now is my right hand. I experience soreness in here daily. My right ring finger now seems to be lower than the rest of my finger and seems to have what "according to online" mallet finger. When I straighten my hands my ring finger seems to pop back into place when I try to make a fist and it never did this before. Has anyone with ALS had finger issues like this before?
