Hi All,
I'm hoping for some advice for people who know about als. I went to my gp as I have shaky muscles on exertion. For example, when I reach out my arms shake, when I go down stairs my legs shake, when I bend over my torso shakes, my feet shake when I move them up and down, my shoulders shake when I raise and lower them, etc etc, you get the picture. Doesn't stop me doing anything. So I went to my gp expecting them to say low blood sugar etc but the gp said, well have you heard of mnd (als) maybe we should get you checked out. Now I am 28 years old, female. My partner was furious as I came away utterly terrified and says I should get a new gp (this one does seem hopeless). Anyway, all the research I've done says muscle shaking isn't an als symptom and especially as it's all my muscles, all my limbs, both sides. Please please reassure me and I will leave and not waste your time. Thank you in advance.
