So I know that ALS is rare in a 19 year old but here is my story.
So I'm a pretty healthy guy up until I started having these weird symptoms. I was in the kitchen stirring up some pancake mix when I noticed moderate weakness and fatigue in my arms.
I went to a neurologist when all of this first all started but they didn't think much of it.All they did was like a long standard neurological test.So these symptoms continued for about 15 months.I didn't really notice them getting any worse over time but I could be wrong.
So about 10 days ago I went into the er , and had another standard neurological test done.The doctor didn't think I was extremely weak or anything like that.
So now 4 days ago I started feeling really weak and shaky .All of these symptoms mainly in my arms but a little in my legs as well.I'm also dropping things which has never happened to me before. I can barely function at work now.I don't know what is happening. I don't remember feeling like this 2 weeks ago.
I have an appointment to see a neurologist.
I'm real afraid that this could be something deadly like ALS
