I know we can't talk about what things might be here because we are not Dr's, but I had symptoms pretty much exactly like that, and still have them on occasion and it sure was not ALS in my case. I think Kim is 100% right, and Shiftk gives good advice on reading the stickies.
I am a bit raw right now, so forgive me if I sound rude but honestly PALS and CALS alike are dealing with real ALS. Some of the people who come to the DIHALS section also have real and substantial concerns, such as hearing the "maybe" straight from the Doctors themselves. Please do read up before you post. I would be eternally grateful if your issues were the extent of my husband's health concerns. Thank you.
