Hi,
40 yo female. I’ve been lurking this site but this is my first post. Two weeks ago, I awoke to neck pain which later subsided. I know pain isn’t usually indicative of ALS. However, a few days later, I began to have difficulty raising my right arm and cannot raise it at all if I have something of weight in my hand (using my weights, putting a bowl in the microwave, closing the sunroof of my car) I haven’t injured myself that I recall. I also began having twitches all over my body all day long when I haven’t had any in the past. I have a doctor appt scheduled with my primary tomorrow. Has anyones als story started out this way? I would appreciate any feedback as I have been stressing myself out lately.
