Thank you all for taking the time and answering everybody's questions, this is truly a wonderful site to have. I am 27 year old female with concerns about having early signs and symptoms of ALS. Frankly, I hope to be told I'm in the wrong place and to get off this site.
I will start with twitching as being my first symptom, started 2 months ago Of constant fast, slow, just one random pop, creepy crawly, fizzy all over-throat, stomach, legs, face, toes, fingers, arms twitching
Then came cramping everywhere ,mostly legs, shoulders , back ...sometimes if I get up I have to limp because it will be painful to put pressure on leg.
Severe Muscle spasms. They are also all over but are horrible in back of neck and upper back. They seem to be pretty bad in my right forearm also.
Muscle fatigue-was in arms now it's just everywhere.
My throat- it feels like it's popping sometimes very strange feeling. Feeling of rubberband around neck and when i ate some soup the other day I felt as though it went up into my nose. Just some scary things going on with my neck. No slurring but my tounge does feel like it get tired out when talking. It's feels like it in the way sometimes and heavy.
My right arm seems weaker-15 ln weight curl no problem with left but my poor right arm just could barley do it, just not normal -
I know the "sticky" said pain was not involved but cramps are somewhat painful, they feel sharp, dull, horrible ,barley there....my muscles feel as if they have a mind if their own and do what they want with no rhyme or reason:/
Please forgive me if I have said some symptoms that go against the sticky , but i know everybody gets affected differently and just want to hear what you all think.
My doctor did bloodwork just waiting on results. I have not told him yet about this strange throat issue. Does this sound like early signs?
