Hi all. Firstly, if you are reading this I am extremely grateful. The sticky says a lot but I have a few further questions. In July I started with pins and needles/tingling in my feet which soon progressed to my hands.
Two weeks ago I started with muscle cramps in thighs and calves and a very stiff shoulder/neck area. In addition I have twitching, not often but enough times a day to notice it. Primarily in legs but ultimately all over my body. My muscles ache and I have cramp in my legs and I have, on more than one occasion, woken up twitching. I am also finding walking difficult, like I dont have control of my legs. In addition, swallowing is odd, I am finding it more difficult,like there is constantly thick phlegm in thre throat.
My doctor does not seem concerned as in august I saw a neuro who deemed my clinical obs to be okay and my head/neck mri was clear. However, given the change in symptoms since then, my questions are: does this sound like als/mnd? And should I go back to a neuro?
Any advice/input would be great.
Thank you
