    Very worried that I have ALS: please help

    Thank-you, Toto's Dorothy. My original symptoms were muscle cramps (still getting them in arms) and tingling in leg, but my calcium was never low. It has always been in that range you mentioned.

    Very worried that I have ALS: please help

    Thank you Anja, for your kind words. As you can understand, I am very worried. I seem to be getting worse everyday. Walking is very difficult now, and arms feel weaker, have constant buzzing/vibrations in neck, chest, arms and legs as well as occasional cramping and neck pain. I initially had...

    Very worried that I have ALS: please help

    I was hoping after my neuro appt went well that maybe some of my symptoms would dissipate or even disappear, but unfortunately this has not been the case. The neuro did resistance tests and didn't notice weakness, but the weakness that I feel occurs when lifting leg up to take steps. The...
