I have been a textbook case. Yes, I have been diagnosed with ALS!
My question to those who have been diagnosed only is: once the muscle starts to atrophy and the fasciculations have begun, have any noticed the skin and wrinkles left behind? 9 months ago or so, I noticed the atrophy. 6 months or so, is when I noticed the fasciculations and recently I noticed the wrinkles and extra skin on my feet (around the inner part of both soles) and now slowly creeping up the leg!
I know I just turned 51; but if I look at my parents neither are like this. And I was never a sun goddess either! And my older and younget sisters aren't like this either. I know it could be an age issue but just wanted to be sure, before I run mu mouth off to the doc tor.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
With Much Love,
Kimberly
