You need to see a specialist
I started out with weakness in one arm, my family doc said it was a herniated disc in my neck and sent me to an orthopod...He did an MRI and said he wanted me to see a neuro-doc, which I did. After finding out what it feels like to be tasered, the neuro-doc said I needed to see a specialist. So I went to Houston to the guru of ALS for a rule out exam. In just two days they gave me the news, I have ALS....But then the guru said a funny thing; he said you can have the disease but it cannot have you unless you let it.
If God forbid you do have ALS it isnt the end of the world, just the begining of anew set of challenges for you to overcome; and you can overcome most of them....Keep your faith, your sense of humor and try to find the beauty in the simple victories.
