Hi. I've been having a lot of symptoms of Als but I'm not sure. I haven't gotten any testing done and I wanna know if I should go or not. So here's how my symptoms started. I had a tremor in both hands and weakness for many months. Then I felt a drop in my shoulders and arms, where they just felt so heavy and I could barely lift them up. It first started in my left arm and a few days after my right arm felt the same way. My legs are also weak. I'm always trembling and shaking because of my weakness. I have very poor balance and I can barely stand on my toes. I shake a lot when I try to. But what's worrying me worst are my wrists. They just drop down, I can't keep them up.. I can barely pick up heavy items and it's a chore to type. My fingers are always shaking from weakness. Now I've been having muscle twitches. They're very unnoticeable. Some twitches you can see and I can feel. They happen in my arms my shoUlders and my feet. Do you guys think it's als? I don't have much money and getting tests are expensive so I'd really prefer not going if it's not als...
