Hi everyone,
Firstly would like to thank you all for the time you take to read and answer the questions and concerns people post daily. I am a 31 year old female and have been visiting your site quite frequently over the past few weeks. I have had symptoms starting from this past June with no answers and have seen a few specialists in internal medicine and one neuro.
Summary of symptoms
June- woke up with extreme eye pain and redness didn't do anything for a few days thinking it would go away once it didn't saw an optometrist who identified inflammation but no diagnosis came out of it. Saw a couple ophthalmologists who could not determine either and said I may have to consider something lateral. This continued tuntil September and is now intermittent
August- felt tired muscles in arms and legs and felt like nerve pain down my right arm at one point
September - twitching started and is body wide at this point. Felt tender points in upper arms and felt like carrying things was more painful when carrying my daughter. Felt more phelemgh at the back of my throat and itchy ears sometimes with ringing
October- All of the above symptoms still present but have noticed a pain in my ankle that has not gone away. Feels awkward to walk like it is strained and looks like it is starting to loose muscle where the ankle is and above. Went to emergency today and they could not figure out what it is. The resident doctor that saw me said that my physical examine did not show signs of ALS but referred me to a neuro for an emg
Hoping to fet your thoughts and opinions on what this could be an did it sounds like als. I have a two year daughter and am petrified since this has been going on and have not been able to sleep at night and can barely eat at times from the worry and stress.
I thank you all again for taking the time to read and respond.
