Just checking back in with you Mike, I was checked on today and I did push for an EMG which was delayed because they don't believe my issue is neurological. She did not look at my twitching but was more concerned about my ability to move my arms and walk around, she also wasn't too worried about...
It's hard for me not to worry and I hope you can understand, I'm not trying to annoy anybody on here I'm just really concerned. When I yawn my muscles get stuck there for awhile before relaxing and I have trouble breathing almost all the time, unless I am lying down, the twitches in my neck...
Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to stay off of the Internet but I feel like I'm just getting worse. Is my trouble breathing associated with ALS at all? I'm not sure if you were able to watch the video of my thumb twitch. Is it bad?
Still a couple days until my next appointment. I'm having trouble breathing through my nose. I have nasal speech and twitches in my neck. I need some advice.

This is the twitching I am referring to. Should I be worried? It's constant. Just more noticeable when I stretch my thumb, I can't feel it and you can barely see it.
He thoroughly checked me over, reflexes, snapped my neck back and forth seeing if anything caused me pain, he was mostly looking into a pinched nerve since I use to be so active, I have been feeling sick/weird for about 3 months going into 4 now. Most doctors shrug off ALS because of my age. He...
I have tried to let my symptoms go on and ignore them. But I have just been feeling worse. I feel as if I can never quiet get enough air, as far as twitching goes, I see a fine twitch in the same spot near my thumb. I can't feel it. Only see it. It's very hard to see. I've been getting depressed...
I am worried I have ALS. I started out about 3 months ago with a dull ache pain on my left elbow, neck, tightness back of my knee. I have had an MRI, multiple blood test, Lyme test, been sent to a chiropractor. And still no diagnoses. My left thigh keeps twitching which I've been told is BFS by...
Did you guys gradually get weakness? I'm just really worried. After 3 months of visiting doctors with no diagnosis and worsening symptoms that I can only trace to ALS, it keeps me up at night and very worried. I'm sorry I've had to come on here for support. Everyone else I go to says I'm fine.
Yes I am hydrated. Before feeling like this I use to be big on lifting, I'm a typical healthy teenager, about 5'8, 160lbs. I haven't had a pop in about 4 years, I use to be a big healthy fanatic and then I started getting weird full aches on the left side of my body as I mentioned. I still eat...
Thank you so much for you're reply Laurie. I was just getting really worried. I've been in and out of the Doctor due to my pain and they haven't found anything unusual in my blood test, X-ray, etc. as I have read online. ALS is diagnosed when nothing else is and it includes muscle fasciculations...
I don't mean to make anyone mad by posting on here but I have been worried about some symptoms I've been having for awhile. It all started with significant pain, which was all left sided. Chest, neck, at the elbow of my left arm, and the back of my left knee was super tight. It hurt to walk and...
