Thanks notme. I guess what I am meaning is feeling weak. Feeling a lot weaker in these areas that I ever was before. I've lost about 10 pounds since this all began at the beginning of the year. I've never been a skinny person and still am not. (I wear a size 8-10 US/CND). This is a good point...

Great advice Anja! Thank you. i bought up Lyme with my family doctor a couple of months ago, but she said that it usually presented with a red rash, and I didn't have one, so I wasn't tested. Thanks for the message! Take care as well!

HI Alyoop. No, no one has mentioned Guilliain Barre to me. This all came on so quickly after what felt like the worst "flu" of my life - January 1st. I guess if it will show up on an EMG, I will know mid May. Thanks for the suggestion!

Alyoop – Thank you, that is reassuring. ☺ Kitchener – No, I didn’t do a lot of statistics in school. I was no good at Math ;) I appreciate your post very much! Talking to someone would probably do me some good. My husband is from Perth. It looks beautiful. I can’t wait to visit one day...

Thanks Toto! That's what my family doctor said as well. What worries me is that I can tell that both my legs have gotten much smaller in the last 3 months (muscle wise). The right calf significantly smaller than the left. They were probably never symmetrical to begin with. But You know how...

Interesting project Toto! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks very much TedH5! :)

Thank you so much Ms. Pie! That means a lot! xox Now back to seizing the day and playing trains with my boys :)

The neurologist had me do some squats and tested my hands etc but she didn't say much, but didn't seem concerned. The only thing she said that concerned her was that my right calf was measuring smaller than my left. She said "that does concern me" so set up an apt for the EMG. I know that while...

Thank you all for the good advice and for taking the time to respond!

Sorry I forgot to mention, i also have tingling or pins and needles feelings from time to time and the twitching comes and gos. Thank you!

Hi everyone I posted about 2 months ago with strange symptoms. The feedback I got was that it didn't sound like ALS at all, but I have progressed more and need some advice. I am a 32 year old female with very strange symptoms for the last 2.5 months. I have an almost 3 year old and a 4 month...

Sorry, one more symptom. It comes and gos, but sometimes it feels like there is a lump in my throat. Ie. It is hard to swallow my own spit. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone I am a 32 year old female with 2 beautiful boys (2 1/2 yrs and 11 weeks old). A week before Christmas, my left thumb started twitching. I thought it was from holding my colicky baby hours a day or from working on the computer (I am a graphic designer). The twitching continued on and...
