Hi everyone,
I am a 27 year old woman. I have had a ton of symptoms the last year and am really concerned about als. Google hasn’t been very helpful except making me more worried. So I was hoping someone could tell me if they think this is als or not. So my symptoms started last winter. I had muscle weakness in my legs. I also would have this full/tight feeling in my neck and under my chin. I saw a neurologist who did an mri and he said it looked normal. I didn’t think much else of it. My symptoms subsided over the summer and are now back. I have muscle twitching all over my body(face, arms, legs, back, abdomen, tongue,) everywhere. The fullness feeling is back under my chin and my neck feels weak. I also have weakness in both shoulders, forearms, and both shins. Sometimes my muscles are sore to the touch. Especially in forearms. And just recently I have had some issues getting food down. It seems to be getting stuck in my chest area. I have an emg done last month along with blood work and urine. It was all normal. Does anyone know if this could be als or not? Or any insight on what could be going on. I am really scared about als
If someone could please provide some insight on if any of these symptoms sound familiar or have happened to them I’d greatly appreciate it. I really need someone’s advice. I also saw a rheumatologist who ruled out autoimmune diseases. Along with the above listed symptoms, I have been experiencing tightness in my shoulders and all over shaking feeling. I appreciate any insight or help I can get at this point.
