The reason I think that the hand symptom scares us DIHALS so much is that we fear this trivial bother is that we're afraid it might progress into something more sinister. I don't think we're trying to offend anyone here but we need something to sooth our fears and anxiety before our appointments...

I can do both, albeit not as comfortable as I used to. You guys are right, I apologize and will not post further questions until I am seen by a professional. I am sorry if I came off as annoying, I'm just anxious that's all. :cry:

I would appreciate a more substantive answer please :D

I'm sorry to be bother you guys again but I have another concern that I hope you guys can address. I now have some weakness on the top of both of my feet that had prevented me from doing anything strenuous for the last few days. Is this a precursor to something more horrible (like footdrop) or...

From my EXTENSIVE research around these forums (honestly, I spend more time here than I do on my thesis nowadays), I would say that that is a very atypical representation of ALS. Hang in there man, I'm on the same worry boat as you and I'm sure the wonderful members around here will give you...

And yes, I have read the sticky and though i have not 'fail', it's getting progressively 'weirder' to accomplish some tasks.

Thank you so much for that reply Nikki! Guess there's no point speculating until I get an EMG then. If it's abnormal, I'll probably just quit school and just travel the world haha but lets not hope it comes to that eh

Ok I have to be completely honest with you guys, my fear had not completely subsided and I will probably have my GP refer me to a Neuro. This mild hand weakness (without any form of pain) is bugging the heck out of me and I really need some peace of mind to continue for my university works. A...

After some thoughts on the subject, I did have a slight concussion 2 weeks ago and it could only now be manifesting itself. The fact that I have this constant mild headache may be testament to that. Regardless, I'll go back to my GP and mention the problem (I actually forgot to tell her about...

Here we go, I'm a 23 years old healthy male (well before this worrisome) and had developed some kind of weakness or functional differences in my left pinky and ring finger. For example, I found it rather awkward when I'm typing and while handling an egg. Now before you send me swiftly to the...
