Do any of you with ALS feel that it may have been the result of aluminum toxicity?
I am very worred. I am a 38 year old otherwise healthy male. For the past 8 years, I have been consistently taking the recommended dosage of an over the counter Antacid as a "daily source of extra calcium" per the bottles instructions. Apparently, it has aluminum in it. I would not have taken it if I thought it may be harmful. I thought I was doing myself a favor by taking this as it is listed directly on the bottle as a "calcium suppliment". Now, I am having all sorts of problems similar to ALS. I have a lot of leg cramping, numbness at times in the hands, shake in the fingers, numb upper front teeth, fatigue, waking up at night.
My doctor and neurologist have taken all sorts of blood work and everything is clear. I had an MRI on my brain and it was clear.
I am very scared and want to know what you other think.
Thank you so very much.
