Hello,
21 y/o needing advice. About 12 months ago I started experiencing extreme brain fog that now comes and goes. 6-8 months ago I started having minor balance problems/numbness/weakness and over the last 3 months this has developed into weakness/tightness/twitching in my legs and forearms. A brain MRI 6 months ago was clear however these symptoms have continued. A more recent MRI indicates the potential for a very early stage form of Chiaria Malformation. My neurologist however doesn't think this could be causing this many symptoms due to it barely meeting the threshold of the condition. She has ordered EMGs to be done for a month from now and I am frightened that this might be ALS. Is brain fog a symptom anyone has experienced. Thank you.
