female

Hi everyone! 32 year old female here. 5 months ago I started having really tight muscles in my arms. Went to pcp was told it’s anxiety. Started meds - no help. 2 months ago I started experiencing body wide twitching. Started magnesium, exercising and stopped caffeine. I get plenty of fluids and...

I will try to skip as much ramble as possible and just get into the details. I’m a 22 year old female. About a year ago I started noticing twitches, kind of all over my body. I didn’t think much of it apart from think it was really weird. Then one day I decided to ask google and ALS came up...

Keeping it short, I have three questions. 1. I’ve had two emg’s done by two different neurologists. I didn’t think the first one was done correctly and I’m worried the second one wasn’t either. The second neurologist did the emg at my request because of my ALS worries and also to test the...

Hi everyone and thanks for taking the time to read my post. I am currently crippled by the fear that my worsening symptoms suggest ALS. For a time I put them down to anxiety but I can no longer accept that explanation as everything just seems too coincidental. It all started in August- I...

Hello all. I’ll start off by saying Happy New Year and I hope everyone has a joyful evening. I’m a new member to this forum but I’ve been reading post after post as a guest. I’m a 21 year old female who has been having worrisome (to me) symptoms. I’ll admit to everyone I am somewhat of a...

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if any of this sounds familiar.. 38 y/o female. Previously VERY active, trail running, mountain biking, more energy than I knew what to do with. Weekends, you could find me hiking (10+ hours, overnight hikes with a full pack), alpine mountain biking (4+ hours), and...
