I am a 62yr old male. A few months ago I experienced hand tremors difficulties writing and speech issues. My doctor referred me for a brain MRI which was clear.
Since then the symptoms have worsened with muscle wasting in hands/ forearms breathlessness and twitching also. I am too scared to go back to doctor

I am sorry you are not willing to go back to the doctor Unfortunately there isn’t much we can say. If you have new symptoms that worry you you need a doctor to evaluate you. Breathing difficulties especially need to be looked at and of course could have many causes

A quick update.
I made a GP appt for next week
Breathlessness has ceased and was able to do a brisk 20 mins walk.
I should add that I had end stage liver failue which I somehow survived. Transplantation not required and have been teetotal since yesterday
That just leaves hand atrophy (my diagnosis) left arm weakness and speech.

I can do all daily tasks with the affected left arm/hand but it just take longer (alough my writing is poor)

Speech problems are intermittent and seem to be when I'm fatigued.
I did read your "read before posting" section and can thankfully still walk on my tiptoes.
Will keep you posted

Sorry teetotal since then (typo)
