I continue to get weaker and weaker. When I wake up in the morning my fingers are stiff and sore. I've started to have very sore shoulder blades and they grind a lot. I wake up with a dry mouth and sore throat. My arm and shoulders are sore. I experience lots of twitching everywwhere, except my face. My tongue is coated and has been coated white for months.When I get up from a chair my legs are weak and my arms look like they have ripples in them. I eat fairly well but the next day I'm back to my skinny self. My neck is stiff and sore. I'm 44 and slowly have been getting worse. I'm scared of coarse and also very mad and trying to keep my composure as I believe I have als and will be told July 13, 2009 during my emg test. When I stand I feel pain in my shoulder and shoulder blades. I dread morning and nights.
