I can't share anything useful on that connection, but I do know that I felt exactly the same about waiting new few months and see if something develops. Unfortunately, that's what it took for me to calm down - time. But I am sure there are better ways. All I can say is try to keep yourself busy...

If I've showed you a list of symptoms I had when my mind was in similar state like yours, your jaw would drop. Mind is a very powerful thing. I also had pain in my arm (left one), feeling like it isn't "mine", muscle fatigues easily, ping and needles and a whole bunch of other sensory symptoms...

It's very strange that you had 2 EMG's in a time span of one week. So I can only guess that you went to a different doctor for the 2nd opinion. I can only speak from personal experience, as someone who hasn't been diagnosed with ALS, but had everything you have (both physical and mental). That...

The symptoms get progressively worse. Btw, you are twice as likely to get struck by lightning than to get ALS at your age. It's like one in a million chance. I am just fine, thanks for asking. Pozdrav ;)

Hi lanasi, I am sorry to hear about your MS diagnosis. Your symptom doesn't sound anything like ALS. The main difference in early symptoms is that MS is effecting your sensory neurons, so you might feel pain, numbness, electrical impulses and so on. ALS doesn't present itself with pain in...

There are no rules, as far as I know. In my previous post I said I have hot-spots - those are areas I most often twitch in. I had hotspots on the sides of my feet for like 2 months. I don't think I twitch there anymore at all and I have no issues with my feet whatsoever. Currently, I still...

Hi JEB, I am sorry you are going through all of this. I am in no way qualified in medical terms, but I was very worried as you are for what seem to me like a very long time. I know how it feels and it sucks, big time. First of all, I wouldn't advise you to test yourself for weakness. All you...

Well, it turns out I am not all that crazy. I went to the neuromuscular specialist today and he found a couple of clinical abnormalities (sorry for bad translation, but you'll understand): - Right right stomach reflex - 0 - Left stomach reflex low borderline and gets tired easily - Low reflex...

@Vicki - No, I didn't have muscle biopsy. @ottawa girl - I definitely had CTS at that time. Three and half of my fingers were numb back then for weeks, every time I go to sleep. I don't doubt that at all. After physical therapy for 10 days, home exercises for about a months (and still every...

Rest of the blood tests and ultrasound turned out OK and my symptoms are getting worse. Left hand is shaking more and arm feels fatigued and aches with simple tasks, like right now when I type. My neuro told me to come back with the results which I did, and we had an interesting conversation...

Thanks again for kind words Nikola. I just came back from my Neuro. I will do more blood tests ( parathormon, Ca, Mg, Cu) and abdomen-liver ultrasound. She said if those results are OK, we can rule out all neurological causes. She tested all reflexes on the upper body and my knees as well and...

C8 problem is on the other side, where my pinky is affected for last 2 months (postural tremor).

I talked to my neuro recently and she said she would like to see me again, as I still twitch and my left arm gets increasingly tired after simple tasks. For example, when I put both of my hands in the air about 15 seconds later I feel increasing pain in my left shoulder and generally my left arm...

Thanks a lot wright, I cannot express how much your words mean to me. I'll try to take it easy from now on.

I wish I could scratch those pictures off my post. Turns out my brother has the exact same thing, so it's probably nothing to worry about. In order to get some replies, I'll elaborate on my case. It all started 2 and a half months ago with non-als symptoms - my hand were falling asleep when...
