Hi all so I have been pretty concerned about having ALS. Here's my situation. Back in October I started getting muscle twitches. They started all over and were very abrupt(they still are). About a month later I was concerned so I saw a neurologist and had an EMG done that came back clean. About a month later I noticed weakness in my right arm. It was slight though. I tested my strength in the weight room working out my shoulders, biceps, triceps, and my chest. I didnt have to decrease in weight at all. A couple of weeks later I started getting seizures in the morning. I got an MRI done that came back clean and then an EEG that confirmed I had epilepsy. That made me feel a bit better until I developed a weird speech problem. It feels like I have a constant lump in my throat that is preventing me from talking coherently. I can still form words and evrything it just feels like there is phlegm constantly in my throat. I dont have any trouble swallowing food or anything like that just some issues with talking.
Here are my current symptoms:
Weakness in right arm
Muscle Twitching
Issues talking
Stiffness
Sorry that this is long. Any thoughts from you guys? Should I be worried?
