    Still worried

    Thanks for your replies. All this started in December when I had a scary time with my hands losing feeling for around four weeks and my legs tingling / feeling tight like I was exercising them when I was not.

    Still worried

    Hi everyone, I've posted a thread before about my symptoms and wanted to ask for more advice. My heart goes out to anybody affected by ALS. I'm male and 22 years old. Recently I've been very concerned with the loss of muscle in the area between my thumb and index finger in my left hand. It's...

    Worried I may have ALS

    I wasn't expecting any change in my floaters with the surgery as it was for an (unexplained) hole in my retina. Yes they are big, small, some are like threads and cobwebs, some are like parasites under a microscope and some are circles, some stay in my vision for longer some rush past. I can see...

    Questions

    Could be a lot of neurological problems that could one sided problems, eye problems and tongue issues. BUT I'm pretty sure eyesight is not usually affected with ALS. Is she experiencing any double vision? Any blurring or colour differences from eye to eye, or any pain? Talk about her doctor...

    Worried I may have ALS

    Thanks Wright! Jenny, for some reason it seems like my floaters are less since the laser surgery, but I still see them, and they have been "locked in" now I suppose :rolleyes: Something I can live with though. Good luck for next week!
