I have had fascinations for about a year they started with some cramping in a foot and dissipated for about 8 months for the most part anyway. A couple months ago I had some tingling in my hands and feet doc said its nothing go home. Two weeks ago widespread twitching returned and saw neuro who performed a physical exam and said both knees were slightly brisk and to see a psychiatrist. Since then things have gotten rapidly worse I had three days where I went numb from waist down fascinations are getting worse and have muscle cramping in back feet and sometimes back. Worst is both hands shake and one leg is shaky as well as sleep starts. I feel horribly weak on the left side but saw Dr again today and said neuro exam was clean as last and I need behavioral therapy. My primary dr has ordered an emg per my request but I feel like time is of the essence. On top of everything else now all my joints are stiff and popping and I am beyond horrified. For the love if god my ear muscles even twitch! I can't sleep, I can't eat I am a wreck. Clean Mris have ruled out ms and had lymes test which was negative. I'm a mom in my mid 30's and I just want to know how to cope. Can Als profress so rapidly in the course of a week? I'm sorry but I'm do scared I won't see my babies grow up.
