Hi.

Hope you're doing well


Im 21 from philippines.

My english is not good so please bare with me. 2 years ago I notice that my smile is crooked assymetrical ang lately I have been experiencing hamd clawing maybe around 5 secs after I woke up around once a week. I don't know if my hand started to waste away. When im lying I can feel my pulse all over my body. Should I consult the doctor already? Is this als


Thanks in advance

Not seeing ALS. At your age it's EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY unlikely. Speak to your doctor if you have continued concerns.

Will do that. I will be speaking with a doctor later to see if its atrophy or not.

Thank you for your reply
 
That could be anything or nothing, probably nothing. Best to see a doctor though just to be sure.

Sir Al,

Would you like to clarify what do you mean by anything?

Thank a lot
 
update

I already talked to my dr and told me that.

I need to take some electrolyte test magnesium, sodium, potassium and cbc blood test.

and told me that my hands are normal


thanks
 
Great news! Sounds like you don't belong here which is terrific. Hope you can forget ALS and focus on life.
