Affected, you're right. I should stick to my own forum, it's just that this individual's symptoms were very similar to the ones that I'm experiencing, and I wanted to connect in hopes of getting some clues as to what my problem is. I'm confident now in saying what Atsugi said to the OP.... I...

I've something similar going on with my hand. It's really scaring me too. I've also got some leg issues... Would be interested to hear what turns out to be your problem...

Okay... Now I'm freaked out. My hand symptoms are worsening. Over the last couple days my left hand just feels clumsy and weak. It isn't weak. I'm still playing guitar and writing. And there's a constant buzzing in my thumb and index finger, as well as in between the two. It's like there's...

Nikki J, I apologize for the new thread. I didn't feel the info in this thread was necessary as my questions were mostly independent. I had a long conversation with my Dr. over the phone as he remains out of town. He seemed concerned, and wants all kinds of blood tests done. He's also referred...

If It Was ALS... If it was ALS, could I have twitching for over a year and only minimal leg weakness (slight limp)? And would it cause that leg weakness without paralyzing my foot first? And would it move to another part of the body before ruining my leg? My toes are all strong, I can do calf...

Hello fearless, you mentioned you're going through something similar on my post... Perhaps we could exchange emails and discuss...

Wasn't able to get in to see the Dr. today but I do have an appointment with my chiropractor today. One question about weakness in ALS though... I guess my question is how exactly the weakness is felt, if at all? Does the muscle just not work? Does it feel fatigued? The feelings I get in my...

Al, thank you for the kind words. I get it from my father. Vincent, I will be seeing my Dr. this week. I'm still unsure about whether or not I should even bring up my concern about ALS. My fear is that he'll laugh off the notion and dismiss my symptoms entirely. I've had multiple members...

Hello, just saw your reply in my thread. You said you think I have something going on... Should I be worried? Does it sound like a back issue?

Tillie, so, regardless of whether atrophy and weakness are confirmed, you don't believe ALS will be the cause?

Nikki, thanks for the response. I'll make a call to my family Dr. with the intention of getting my lower back checked out. As far as the age thing goes, as I mentioned in my original post I'm aware that being 18 years old makes ALS highly unlikely. But I think the symptoms, not my age should be...

Hello Tillie, A limp would be suggestive of true weakness would it not? As far as the dents go, perhaps that wasn't the best word choice. The 'dent' on my calf appears to be caused by shrinkage of the medial head of my gastrocnemius. I don't remember this always being there, which is why I...

Hello Nikki, Thanks for your opinion, I'm calling my family Dr. first thing tomorrow morning to see if I can get in for a visit. One thing about my situation that seems odd to me is the timing of it all... The twitching and leg issues surfaced within a month of each other, certainly a...

Hello, First time poster here. I'm writing now because of the trouble my left leg has been giving me over the course of the past year. I'm 18, which is far younger than the mean age for this disease, but my symptoms are cause for concern, in my own opinion. So let's get into those... My...
