Good afternoon from Australia,
I really appreciate you all taking the time to read this, I just have a couple of questions I haven't been able to answer myself despite extensive research. Over the past few weeks I have developed some pretty terrible symptoms and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they are typical of a MND, I have developed a strange muscle ache in my left leg that seems to progressively get worse throughout the day, it's a strange muscle strain feeling in the back of my thigh with a tightness on the top of my foot. I understand that in the sticky it states that symptoms such as pain isn't typical of ALS but what I was wondering was that if a non dominant muscle was failing would it not put strain on the surrounding muscles and then cause the leg to ache? I would really appreciate your opinions/experience in this.
My second questions is in regards to multiple limb onset is it typical for the disease to effect multiple limbs at once, as I have noticed occasional cramping in both of my hands (very mild craps) along with body wide twitching and clumsiness, and this twitching can be quite violent (very visible). I appreciate any input and also just for good measure I'm a 23 year old male student.
On a side not I have noticed you are looking for donation to help improve the site, While I'm a completely broke uni student who can't really donate any money, I am completing my masters degree in software engineering and would be more then happy to donate some of my time and experience to improving the site, is there a mod I could message my email address to?
