I just have one question. Was anyone told they might have MS but later the doctor decided it was actually ALS?
The reason I’m asking is I’ve been seeing an internal medicine doctor for about 8 months. At the beginning he said that my symptoms fit with MS but my MRI’s I had done were not conclusive for MS so he decided we would wait and see if anything got better or worse. That was October of last year. Over that time I have developed some fasciculation In my fingers and other random places , my thighs have gotten spastic and weaker but the symptom that changed his mind was my left arm has developed hyper reflexes and is getting weaker. A few weeks after that my right arm has began to show hyper reflexes as well. He told me these new symptoms could be a sign of something more serious than MS. It could be Lou Gehrig's disease. He is getting me in to see neurologist. ALS has never come up until now.
