Hello people, thanks for taking your time to read this and I hope you are enjoying life as much as you can.
Before anything I must say that I read this post:
https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-...-common-concerns-about-possible-symptoms.html
But I still have my own questions.
Timeline:
2 weeks - I started having muscle twitches over my whole body. They stop as soon as I move the muscle where they happen.
1 week - I feel strong yet my arm feels heavy or tired I should say. Im having also some sensation over my body like cold and itchy.
4 days ago- While on vacation I started having twitches around my rib cage and started to feel a bit breathless. Again Im still strong but I feel weak with my arms
2 days ago- Twitches stop when Im focused on something else but when they come they come hard. I sweat a lot from my arm pits. When I close my eyes they feel weak and they move and I can't sleep because of that. I feel a lot of facial weakness.
Now- When I try to lift something I can easily yet my arms shake. I have muscle cramps around my entire body-
I know ALS affects the motor parts of the muscle but since im 17 can this be some "pre-ALS" ?
Thanks in advance,
Love from Portugal
