This forum has been wonderfully comforting and supportive thus far. My last thread posting was rather long, so I wanted to post a less narrative version in the hopes that others might be able to offer a fresh perspective.
-Started noticing muscle jerks (not fasiculations), blurred vision, and lump in throat about a year ago.
-Soon after started noticing that I would sometimes choke on my saliva, and also had abnormal urge to cry for no reason.
-Had MRI done which showed 3 brain lesions.
-Now (1 year from symptom onset) experiencing weakness in left leg (feels like a stiff piece of rubber), and muscle fasciculations (not jerks) ALL over (including around face, mouth, and tongue).
My questions are:
-Can ALS cause lesions on the brain?
-Can others share with me their experiences of limb onset? Does my experience sound similar?
ANY input is very much appreciated! I am really scared.
