I'm scared I have ALS....Symptoms stated 1 year ago headaches, fatigue, and vision changes. In February I got bad left heel pain and knee pain. In April I began with joint pain in fingers, wrists, elbows on both hands....now past three weeks itchy face especially around nose. Joints pop alot. Mri was good, blood word good other than slight anemia and high ldh. Please tell me this isn't ALS. I have one year old please help. Seen nephrologist, hemotologist, and rheumatologist they all said no.
Let me be more specific:
Symptoms that began 2011:
1. Bad headaches sometimes 4 to 7 times a week.
2. Lump feeling in throat would last a couple of weeks then go away for a month or two.
3. Vision problems at times blurry.
4. Extreme fatigue.
Year 2013:
Bone, joint, muscle aches.come and go but especially in mornings.
Lower back pain.comes and goes
Lower legs calf area on both legs would feel numb at times come and go.
Bad tennis elbow diagnosed that lasted for 6 months that went away.
Year 2015
Muscle twitches or spasm that come and go especially in upper legs, and on biceps on both arms predominately on right and at times wake me from sleep. But stop if I push on change limb elevation. Come and go.
Arms fall asleep as if I lose circulation. Atleast 3 to 4 times a week.
Nausea especially in mornings.
Ears feel clogged from time to time.
Most symptoms come and go but most of time together with other symptoms.
February 2017:
lump feeling in throat back never gone away getting worse more intense bothers me alot constantly drinking or clearing throat to try and help this.
Extremely dry throat and mouth, with itchy scratchy throat.
Light electronic shock like sensations that are in hand and legs happened 6 times.
Weird chest pains feel like sharp pains, sometimes accompanied by difficulty breathing.
I've been to 3 neurologist, 2 rheumatologist, 1 nephrologist.
Had 3 MRI'S first in 2013, 2015, and 2016 with and without contrast, EMG done by Baylor college of medicine 2015 and one by VA in 2016 both good, had tons of Labs. Dexterity good, strength good, tongue function normal, can still walk on tip toes or heels. Normal routine just lasted 8 hours coaching a track meet in houston heat. Nothing diagnosed pissed cause they say ANXIETY but nobody in family has ever had anxiety. So lost having bad thoughts please people respond.
