Hi mama of 4 wife of 1.
My hubs symptoms go as followed BEFORE SEEING NUERO. Muscle twitching, 'feeling' of a lump in his throat. Throat test showed lazy esophagus. Numbness and tingling in hands, left arm, face. Dr. told him he looked great, but could have suffered a small, small stroke. (MRI revealed pea size lesion on left side of brain)
1 year later, and out of $$$ without insurance. Symptoms have progressed to the following. Right foot drop, constant muscle twitching, severe voice change, very horse sounding. Coughing mostly every time he swallows. Slurred speech at nighttime when very tired. Numbness on the forehead and tingling around left eye. Feeling of cob webs and constant weeping, which cause him to brush his left hand across his eye all day long to remove what is not there. No signs of muscle loss but says his left hand is seriously and progressively getting weaker. (his signature looks like a 5 year old) Cramps and charlie horses on a weekly basis. Any ALS patients with similiar symptoms?
Husband ran a marathon last year. Climbed Mt McKindley. Walking 5 miles is to exhausting for him today. He stopped working out.
