Hi. My families story with ALS started 20 years before, with my grandfather's death from it. We didn't think it was familial because he was the only one. 2019 August, my mother caught up this disease and disease progressed rapidly in this time. She is now at hospital for feeding tube operation. My question is, i realized some weirdness in my body lately. I am only 19, and fearing from it. These are my symptoms:
1. Twitching. Started 3-4 weeks ago, all over my body. Stops with movement.
2. Weirdness in my right hand fingers. It feels different. Some funny feeling, buzzling, and shaking when i force. But same shaking doesn't happen on my left hand. Also i feel weirdness when i use mouse, pen or joystick. Only told shaking and weirdness to neurologist.
3. Temporary pain, preassure on my both arms. Mostly on left side.
I went to neuroglist yesterday with this symptoms. He is professor and has mostly specialez at ALS. He did needle to test my twitching on right Side(i don't know well, it could be EMG). It was good. Then he talked about stress, bfs and nerve entrapment at neck. He didn't think it was ALS.
Today weirdness on my right hand and twitching made me panic once more. I started to test my body. This is what i saw:
1. Left hand twitches slightly but i can't feel it. I have to look carefully to realize it. Doesn't stop with movement. I don't know if there's vein on there, but it fears me.
2. When i open my fingers full, i see some weirdness on my left hand. It may be muscle wasting.
3. Right hand still same.
-My question is, could this be ALS? Can ALS cause weirdness on one side, and muscle wasting with twitching on other side as first symptoms?
-Is my nonstop twitching on left side normal? Because i didn't realize it before. It isn't happen on my right side so i am fearing from it.
I am thinking to neurologist one more time but will wait for few days.
I forgot to tell. Weirdness started new, 3-4 weeks after twitching. Comments i read about twitching made me relax in this time, but other new things made me panic again.
