Hello Members,
First I was introduce myself I am a 29 yr old white male will be 30 in June. I have read the sticky and I am still unsure, I am worried as I recently had a daughter she will be 2 years I May. I stumbled across ALS by Google and after reading the symptoms it like made my body go hot.like it was telling me something.
I have not been able to stop thinking about it since. I went to my doctor and he told me after asking what symptoms I had which I said I have had trouble swallowing once in a while (it is not consistant) and it goes down just feels stuck in my throat sometimes. He said he was pretty sure I did not have ALS he is sending me to a neurologist to look at my carpel tunnel on Monday.
Here is where I am concerned since seeing him on Monday I all these twitches over my body and pulsing that comes and goes in different spots. I have had more trouble swallowing then usual by my arms feel week and I have like a dull pain in my shoulders and my biceps. My legs feel weak on and off all day from my hips down.
I have a sharp pain in my right side by my rib cage down to my waist that comes and goes but my jaw feels like it's locked up and is always clicking (could be from grinding) I do find the last little bit it twitches some and when i go out and its cold it like jitters alot or when i yawn.
Before these came on i thought i was having breathing issues like i cant take that really deep breath all the time i went and had a spyromty done and they said my breathing was not the top for my age but was with in spec ( i used to smoke ) and it might be very mild ashma. Ialso started experiencing throbbing in my lower left abdomen and it was painful at times I chalked it to possible anxiety I have also had a pain under the right side of my tongue that comes and goes but then the right side of my tongue sometimes swells or feels swollen and abit painful then goes away. The last 3 days I have noticed myself mispronuncing words here and there and then correct them right away.
I am having trouble remember simple things too like shop names for example and I have to think abit to get it I also have saliva in my mouth for most part of the evening into the night and then it drys out.
I understand this is hard on the members diagnosed and Thier families I just want to know if I should be concerned or if anxiety is taking me over like I said I have a baby girl and it terrifies me to the point I'm not eating or sleeping
Thanks again to those who answer and I apologise to those I may irritate or have offended I did not mean to
Thanks
