Hello all, I would like to thank anyone who has the time to respond. For the last 2 years ive battled I fear that I have ALS it started two years ago when I started twitching everywhere and felt an odd sensation in my right thumb and fingers of course I Google it and thought I had ALS and started it. Downward spiral I have always been a severe hypochondriac and I went and saw several doctors and therapists including to neurologist both of which said they didn't see anything worrisome however my last nerve appointment was almost a year ago and about 3 months ago I noticed I had some difficulty writing and it has gotten worse over the past 3 months. I can still hold a pen however when I try to write it's like my brain isn't telling my fingers what to do I will get stuck on some letters and numbers for example writing the number 3 is very difficult for me. My writing has gotten choppy and a bit slower in the last couple of weeks I'm very worried because I know that people with the disease sometimes present with difficulty writing and I was just wondering if any of you presented with these symptoms? Again thank you for the time that any of you could spare to answer this question.
