Hi,
sorry not really sure what to say or where to start. I’m 34 year old female with daily frequent stuff happening.
I was diagnosed with FND last year where my body just stopped, legs went weak and heavy and then arms and speech. I got left arm weakness and fatigue but that seemed to have gone on it’s own apart from the weakness in my arm.
I reliased looking back at images that my left shoulder had dropped a few year before and left leg skinner than right. I did have knee problems for years and just got told was muscle weakness and physio to strengthen it.
I did have cramp in my bum and legs during the night and wake up with dead legs and pain which woke me for a few months before this but put it down to RSL.
Over the last year my left arm is becoming weaker to the point where I can not hold a frying pan or shopping bag with barley anything in it for long. Even holding my daughters hand waking down the stairs I get tired and burning feeling.
I have atrophy in left leg/foot - toes starting to curl and flat food happening and also bum cheek.
I have slight atrophy in right foot and cramps in calf started only recently. Also twitching in bum and thighs after I walk and sit down.
Right arm is skinner than left but left is weaker and started to have soft muscles in left arm. Right hand more atrophy and started to develop spilt hand and dents in both hands.
Post nasal drip and fatigue.
EMG was done end of last year on all four limbs and showed clean.
Just wanted some opinions as feel like I’m going crazy and try to rationalise things and think EMG was clean can’t be just then more atrophy happens and weakness progresses and mind wanders back.
