Hi guys,
30 year old male with symptoms spanning 4-5 years - most noticeably 3 years.
Including:
Twitching all over
Tremors of muscles under stress
Tremor in hands outstretched
Stiffness
Joint pain
Muscle pain/tingles/pinch like cramps and occasional Charlie horse cramp.
Mucus in throat I can't clear and having swallow a few times to get all food down on occasion- don't choke - just annoying and bad heart burn and reflux.
Some balance issues
Get out of breath easy
I have had 3-4 emgs in the first 2 years of my symptoms
I had one single fibre emg that was suggestive of chronic denervation but wanted further testing
And then the next 3 emgs showed no denervation or any abnormalities so they were all clean done on all four limbs.
All clinical exams have bern normal, the last neuro actually monitored me for a year and said I don't need to see you anymore I don't think this is neurological ..
After 5 years even tho I still have symptoms and feel a little worse ..
Would ALS be easy for a dr to see after 5 years of symptoms? Would I have a lot more sever symptoms after 3-5 years?
I can still walk and talk and even go to the gym but not as strong and feel as healthy as I once did..
Any advice would be great..
